Heat Pump Services in Huber Heights

At Apex Pros, we are fully committed to providing customers with the service they deserve. Our contractors can manage any job, no matter how simple or complex it is. Regardless of the reason you call, they arrive equipped and ready to get to work. Let’s look at how we help you get the most out of your heat pump.

Heat Pump Repair for Heating and Cooling Issues

Your heat pump has a simpler design than a traditional central HVAC system. It moves heat by either absorbing it from outside air (even if it feels relatively chilly) to warm your home or from indoors to an outdoor condenser, from which it’s released, thereby cooling your home. 

With this refined technology, heat pumps can run year-round, and the constant demand can wear them out. Your system shouldn’t need too many repairs if it’s well-maintained, but the occasional repair can avoid costly breakdowns and extend the unit’s life. Common repairs we encounter include replacing the reversing valve (which allows the system to switch between heating and cooling), capacitors, wiring, fan motors, and other parts. Our technicians also remove ice from coils and address issues with blocked filters or vents.

Common Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Service

If your heat pump has stopped working properly, let us know as soon as possible. Most problems start as minor issues. Our technicians are trained and have the tools and parts to perform any home heat pump repair in Huber Heights, OH, and resolve common symptoms such as:

  • Hot/Cold Air Isn’t Blowing When It Should: If you’re getting warm air when the thermostat is set to cool, or vice versa, there may be a reversing valve or other problem.
  • The Heat Pump Doesn’t Turn On: If an incorrect setting or a tripped circuit breaker isn’t the cause, an internal component or the compressor may need to be replaced.
  • Uneven Temperature Distribution: A clogged filter, blocked duct, or blower problem can cause parts of your home to be too warm or too cool.
  • Foul Odors from the System: An electrical problem can cause a burning smell; pungent odors can be from rodents and other creatures that have sheltered inside.
  • The Unit Runs Constantly: Restricted airflow, low refrigerant, or poor insulation can cause a heat pump to run constantly.
  • The Unit Short Cycles: If the unit turns on and off frequently, let us check for a refrigerant, airflow, or electrical problem.
  • The Outdoor Condenser Unit Freezes: Ice and frost can do major damage and can mean there’s a refrigerant leak.
  • The System Is Leaking: A refrigerant leak can damage the system and expose you to toxins, while a water leak should be addressed promptly.

Heat Pump Replacement and System Upgrades

Heat pumps generally last 10 to 15 years. If your system is over a decade old, more efficient options are available, so investing in a new one now can save you money over time. Not only can you avoid major repairs and save on energy, but rebates and tax credits may be available, offsetting the initial cost by as much as thousands of dollars.

A heat pump system upgrade can also provide the following benefits:

  • High-efficiency, variable-speed performance.
  • Improved air filtration.
  • Quieter operation.
  • Smart thermostats and other controls.
  • Fewer environmental emissions.

Contact us for advice and to discuss your options if you have an aging heat pump that’s struggling to keep up.

Professional Heat Pump Installation Services

Modern heat pumps perform well in Central Ohio’s variable climate. If you’ve relied on an AC and furnace, we offer more efficient, space-saving options. The most common are air source heat pumps, but our technicians also specialize in geothermal and water source systems. We install wall- or ceiling-mounted indoor units, depending on your preferences and available space. Committed to your satisfaction, we customize every aspect of heat pump installation for Huber Heights homes and perform precise calculations to ensure the unit is sized perfectly. 

Routine Heat Pump Maintenance and Tune Ups

Like traditional heaters and air conditioners, heat pumps require maintenance. But since they operate all year, we recommend scheduling service in the spring and fall. In between, you should change the filter often, keep the thermostat at a relatively constant setting, and make sure the outdoor unit is clear of snow or ice.

Our technicians perform full heat pump tune-ups in Huber Heights. A service call is a comprehensive, multi-step process in which they:

  • Inspect the system.
  • Measure airflow and temperature differentials.
  • Check for refrigerant leaks.
  • Tighten electrical connections.
  • Lubricate motors and other moving parts.
  • Charge refrigerant and repair coils.
  • Seal duct leaks.

Maintenance is provided at no additional cost for members of our Worry-Free Program.

Improving Heat Pump Performance and Comfort

Needless to say, there are ways to improve performance and reduce the need for heat pump service in Huber Heights. You can also stay cozier when you take care of the system. That doesn’t only mean scheduling biannual maintenance. It involves simple tasks you don’t need a technician for, including the following:

  • Clean or change the air filter.
  • Clear snow, ice, or debris from the outdoor unit.
  • Set the thermostat to a consistent, comfortable temperature.
  • Seal any air leaks from windows, doors, and walls.
  • Set the fan to a higher speed.

Other ways to improve heat pump performance include installing smart thermostats, which learn your schedule and make adjustments that boost efficiency, and zoning, which allows individualized temperature control for specific rooms.

Troubleshooting Airflow and Temperature Problems

Before you call a Huber Heights heat pump service, try checking for common, yet simple, issues. This can often avoid the need to call a repair technician. Here are some easy ways to troubleshoot an airflow or temperature problem:

  • Check the Thermostat: Is it set to “On”, “Auto”, or “Off”, or is the system in “Heat” or “Cool” mode? Change the setting to see if your heat pump works.
  • Inspect the Filter: Is the air filter dirty or completely clogged? Cleaning or replacing it can get your heat pump working again.
  • Clear Obstructions: Is the outdoor unit covered with ice or debris? Are paintings or furniture blocking indoor vents, or are any vents closed? 
  • Reset a Circuit Breaker: Is your heat pump not turning on? Look for a tripped breaker and reset it if this is the case.

Ductless Heat Pumps in Huber Heights

Another difference from traditional HVAC systems is that heat pumps don’t need ductwork. They can be configured as mini-splits, in which an outdoor condenser can connect to multiple indoor air handlers. These primary components are linked by a conduit with a refrigerant tube, condensate line, and power cable.

Ductless system installation is faster and simpler. It does not require the amount of space that installing ductwork does, or any structural modifications. More flexible setups are also an advantage. Indoor units can be placed in rooms where you need them most, and can be mounted to a wall or in the ceiling. They can also be turned on and off and set individually, which saves energy.
