Call it Murphy’s Law, or maybe just a little unluckiness, but we sometimes see heat pump problems in Thedford during the winter time, when they’re required to keep you toasty. While you know the team at Taylor's Heating & Air Conditioning will always be there ASAP when you require us for a heat pump repair, there are some things you can do to ensure a repair is needed and save yourself some money if it’s not. We’ve collected this checklist of things to attempt before you give us a call.
- It may sound ridiculous, but make sure everything is switched “on”. We’ve been to numerous calls only to realize the thermostat or the heat pump itself is set to off.
- Is the thermostat set to heat? If yes, boost the temperature by five degrees to test if it switches on.
- If everything looks accurate, check your heat pump switch (if it has one) and check the fuses and circuit breaker that guard the extra heating element (if it has one).
- If the heat pump still hasn’t kicked on, go back to your thermostat.
- Try swapping the battery, if it has one.
- Is a blockage causing your heat pump to breakdown?
- Inspect your air filters inside your air handler to confirm they’re not clogging things up.
- Are your room heating registers open and unobstructed?
If you’ve moved through this checklist and you still need a heat pump repair, call Taylor's Heating & Air Conditioning at 519-296-4437 and we’ll get your home back to the warm and cozy place you expect this time of year.
