Is My Heat Pump Disconnected?

Determining whether your heat pump is disconnected involves a few steps. Here's a guide to help you check the status of your heat pump:


  1. Check the Thermostat: Verify that your thermostat is set to a temperature that should trigger the heat pump to turn on. Ensure that the thermostat is in the heating mode. If the thermostat is set correctly and the heat pump is not running, it could be a sign of an issue.


  2. Inspect the Circuit Breaker: Check the circuit breaker or fuse box that supplies power to your heat pump. Make sure the breaker is in the "ON" position or replace any blown fuses. If the breaker trips repeatedly, it may indicate an electrical issue, and you should consult with an electrician.


  3. Inspect the Outdoor Unit: Locate the outdoor unit of your heat pump. Check if it's making any unusual noises or vibrating excessively. If the unit is silent and not running, it may be disconnected or experiencing a malfunction.


  4. Look for Error Codes: Some heat pump systems have error codes that can help diagnose issues. Check your thermostat or the control panel on the indoor unit for any error codes. Refer to the manufacturer's manual to interpret these codes and take appropriate action.


  5. Inspect the Refrigerant Lines: Inspect the refrigerant lines that connect the indoor and outdoor units. These lines should be insulated. If you notice any damage to the insulation or visible refrigerant leaks, it's a sign that your heat pump may be disconnected or malfunctioning.


  6. Contact a Professional: If you've gone through these steps and are unable to identify the issue, or if you are not comfortable with troubleshooting electrical or HVAC systems, it's advisable to contact a qualified HVAC technician. They have the expertise to diagnose and repair heat pump problems.


  7. Check for Emergency Switches: Some heat pump installations may have emergency switches that could accidentally be turned off. Look for any emergency switches near the indoor or outdoor units and make sure they are in the "ON" position.


  8. Inspect the Disconnect Switch: Heat pumps often have a disconnect switch near the outdoor unit. It looks like a small box with a lever. Make sure the lever is in the "ON" position. If it's in the "OFF" position, it disconnects power to the outdoor unit.


Remember that working with electrical components can be dangerous, and if you're unsure or uncomfortable with any of these steps, it's best to seek professional assistance. A licensed HVAC technician can properly diagnose and repair issues with your heat pump.

Greg came over at 9:30pm to rescue my daughter and I from a horrible experience with Enercare that evening. He was professional. Kind. And got us what we needed quickly and at an afford price. I would 100% recommend calling on Greg and his team for any of your heating and cooling needs in the future!!

by Matt C. Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Installed a great hot water heater when our old one failed. When my furnace died during cold weather they showed up quickly and my house was warm before my wife got home. :)

by B Davis in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I don’t usually right reviews but when you receive service like this I felt it was a must. Honest and fair. I Have 4 children and on Xmas eve my furnace stopped working and a gentleman came out and got me up and running so at least we would have heat for the holidays. As promised he would replace my furnace early in the new year. The job was completed on time, great price for quality furnace and extremely clean and professional job. Would have never known anyone was in the house. Not a spec of dust or mess from lugging out an old rusty furnace. If you have any ac or heating concerns twintech is your only option. I was royally impressed with and I’m sure you will be too.

Class Act ! These guys were professional right from the quote stage through to installation. They know their stuff and took their time to help educate me. They take pride in their work and it shows. I would recommend TwinTech Heating and Cooling to anyone. Keep up the great work !!!

by W. Lacombe in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

This Company is terrific. No high pressure sales and they deliver exactly what they promise to deliver. The new furnace is great and we now get consistent temperatures throughout the house. The installers were great and very efficient and completed the work on schedule on the promised day. Everyone representing this company was very aware of their presence in our house and worked diligently to keep our home as uninterrupted and as clean as was humanly possible. We did not need to go around the house to clean up after they left, what a nice surprise. We have had follow up by the company to ensure everything is to our satisfaction. How unusual in today's environment. The impression left by Twintech is that they care about us and our home. This is so refreshing in today's high tech world. Out thanks go out to Dave in sales and G, G, and P (the installers).

They were Timely and professional. They were very Knowledgeable with answering all of my questions.

by Connie in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The entire process was prompt and professional, from the initial quote to the installation of the new furnace. The team installed the new furnace and removed the old one in approx. 4 hrs. The guys were very knowledgeable and gave me lots of information. I have used Twintech before for a new A/C installation and new I was in good hands.

by Valentine in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The overall experience dealing with this company was great from start to finish when getting a new furnace and ac this year. Everything was clearly explained to us during our consultation with Dave and there were no surprises with added costs. The work was done as expected and their response time to inquiries were very timely generally within a few hours or less. They are all very professional and was a pleasure to do business with them. Highly recommend to anyone looking for honest quality professional service.

by Jiri in Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

From the initial contact we had an excellent experience with this company and all its personnel. Dave Gergley was an excellent, helpful, sales person and solicitous of our needs. He recommended only what was required and did not up sell or make any suggestions for products that we did not need, such as a new A.C. He explained the rebate process and basically outlined how to get the best furnace at the lowest price. When it was time for installation, the technicians could not have been more considerate, careful, attentive to detail, obviously committed to safety and optimum functioning of the appliance they were setting up. We have been perfectly satisfied with the functioning of the furnace and all aspects of acquiring it from the initial contact with Dave through to the installation process and follow ups inquiring about our satisfaction. Also they initiated the rebate process and contacted the appropriate inspection agency to carry it out. We highly recommend this company for all heating and cooling needs and we will contact them again when it is time to replace our A.C.

by Drew in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Twintech was excellent from the initial quote and throughout the install. They had a competitive rate for hot water tank and ended up buying the tank from them, had them remove the old tank and install the new one. The day of install they were prompt and out in about 2 hours. Professional , courteous really great guys. We took a look at my 30 year old furnace and they were able to offer some suggestions for future there too.
