When to Call a Professional to Inspect Your Heat Pump
Posted On: February 28, 2024
It's generally a good idea to call a professional to inspect your heat pump under several circumstances:
-
Annual Maintenance: It's recommended to have your heat pump inspected and serviced by a professional at least once a year, preferably before the start of the heating or cooling season. Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance, energy efficiency, and longevity of your heat pump.
-
Strange Noises or Odors: If you notice unusual noises such as grinding, squealing, or banging coming from your heat pump, or if you detect strange odors like burning or musty smells when the heat pump is operating, it's best to have a professional inspect it. These could be signs of underlying mechanical issues or component failures that need attention.
-
Decreased Performance: If you observe a decrease in the heating or cooling performance of your heat pump, such as uneven heating or cooling throughout your home, inadequate airflow, or inconsistent temperature control, a professional inspection can help identify and address the underlying causes, which could range from refrigerant leaks to airflow restrictions or compressor issues.
-
Increased Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage could indicate that your heat pump is not operating efficiently. A professional inspection can pinpoint the reasons for the increased energy consumption and recommend necessary repairs or adjustments to improve efficiency.
-
Frequent Cycling or Short Cycling: If your heat pump is turning on and off frequently (short cycling), it could be a sign of various issues such as thermostat problems, refrigerant leaks, or inadequate airflow. A professional can diagnose the root cause and recommend appropriate solutions to ensure proper operation.
-
Ice Buildup or Frost: If you notice excessive ice buildup or frost on the outdoor unit (condenser) of your heat pump, it could indicate issues with airflow, refrigerant levels, or defrost controls. A professional inspection can identify the underlying cause and prevent potential damage to the unit.
-
System Age: If your heat pump is approaching the end of its expected lifespan or if it's been several years since its last inspection, it's a good idea to schedule a professional inspection to assess its condition and performance. Older heat pumps may require more frequent inspections and maintenance to ensure continued reliability and efficiency.
Overall, scheduling regular maintenance and promptly addressing any issues with your heat pump by calling a professional HVAC technician can help maximize its performance, efficiency, and lifespan while ensuring your home remains comfortable year-round.

Appreciated a quick response to my request. Dave and Greg were very professional and made the experience seamless.

Very professional through the entire process. Installation and removel was done on a sloppy winter day, they put down runners on the floors and stairs and when they left, there wasn;t any sign of someone being in our house. Furnace works great as promised.

Dave was very pleasant to deal with and Twintech responded quickly when our furnace needed to be replaced ASAP. Installation was done on time and the crew were neat and tidy. We now have a great furnace that suits the needs of our family.

When your furnace kicks in over the holidays and you're not sure where to turn.. I'm so thankful that this company returned my phone call. I appreciated their transparency and clarity which allowed me to make an informed decision. With various quotes thrown at you, it can be difficult to make the right decision and trust the solutions offered by different companies. TwinTech spoke the truth and delivered on their word. Neat, timely and clean service; the peace of mind I needed during a very cold holiday season. I highly recommend them!

Pulling a old unit out and installing a modern heating system! Required drilling holes in the wall for the newer pipes. We went from 70% (I am willing to bet it was far less due to lack of maintenance and just old) to 96% newer . It now feels warmer and more pressure and we use to run extra heaters and feel as though they are not necessary!
Feb 1, 2021
I received three quotes before deciding to choose Twintech. Dave's prices was much more reasonable than the competitors. I most appreciated their honest recommendations. Others tried to oversell their products and services. Thank you Dave!

My 19 year old furnace stopped working when the cold weather hit in November, and I was left without heat. I interviewed several companies and found TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to be very knowledgeable, quick to respond to my inquiries and very competitively priced.
Dave provided all of the information and pricing ahead of time and set up the appointment for the installation. Greg and Mitch arrived on time to do the installation and worked quickly and efficiently to complete the job.
After the completion of the installation, Dave followed up to ensure that everything was working well and that I didn't have any concerns.
Overall, this was a low-stress and flawless experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to anyone that requires a new furnace.

Our 20 year old furnace broke down during the first cold weekend this past November and our usual HVAC company never returned our phone call. Their loss, missing out on a sale since we didn't want to spend much fixing an old furnace and our 40 year old air conditioner was also long overdue for replacement. We proceeded in obtaining three different quotes for furnace and air conditioner replacement, and proceeded with the one we received from Twintech.
Dave was friendly, knowledgable and accommodating to our schedule and provided with us with a price that fell in the middle of the three quotes that we had. We felt that the Amana furnace and air conditioner he quoted us on were the best products and value offered to us and felt most comfortable with the professionalism and reputation of Twintech.
Greg, Grant and Mitch were at our house for installation the day after we decided to proceed. The guys were friendly and informative, the job was completed efficiently and workmanship appears excellent. Our house is certainly much more comfortable with the new two-stage variable speed Amana furnace compared to the old clunker! And, we're looking forward to enjoying the new air conditioner once summer rolls around again. Thanks Twintech!
