When to Call a Professional to Inspect Your Heat Pump

Posted On: February 28, 2024

When to Call a Professional to Inspect Your Heat Pump

It's generally a good idea to call a professional to inspect your heat pump under several circumstances:


  1. 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.


  2. 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.


  3. 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.


  4. 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.


  5. 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.


  6. 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.


  7. 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.

by Mike B. Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very professional, courteous, knowledgeable staff. Sales staff (David Gergley) excellent in knowledge and getting the job setup and installation was very prompt. Greg and Peter (technicians) knew their stuff and stuck around after completion to make sure it all worked properly and that I understood how it all was installed and how the unit worked. Would highly recommend them! Thanks for a great job-house is now cool and comfortable.

by Steve S in Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I had Twintech install a brand new air condition back in June of this year and I'm very happy with their service. I have a very busy schedule so I sent out an email to 7 or 8 HVAC companies just to get an idea of what it would cost. Dave at Twintech and only one other company were able to give me an approximate quote through email. Many of the companies I reached out to didn't even respond. I decided to meet with Dave and he was very friendly and professional. He gave me a good quote for a name brand/energy efficient AC with installation from their certified technicians. It was an easy decision to go with them.

Within a week I had the unit installed and working perfectly. Their technicians were very helpful and answered all of my questions. I'll definitely be calling them back for all of my HVAC needs in the future.

by Tina - Whitby in Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The people from Twintech were very friendly and personable...from the salesman to the installers. The installation was done as scheduled. I love my new air conditioner. My neighbour has a York and that thing is so noisy compared to my Goodman!! Thanks Twintech!!

by Cathy f. from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Thank you, Twintech. They installed an A/C in my home in the middle of a heat wave which we appreciated very much. I found the team good, not overly friendly, other than the brothers. Dave, the salesperson was awesome, and, it's because of him that I was sold on using Twintech. I had other questions about additional work I am curious about and would have liked them to follow up and provide a quote. Other than that, which ultimately is not related to the great work they did, I would definitely recommend them, although I don't believe they go outside of Durham (check with them).

by Linda from Durham Region on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We have used this company a few times so I can't remember exactly what we paid but I do know that their fees are always very reasonable.

The first time we called Greg was when our furnace conked out while we were away. He came right away, showed me the problem and fixed it immediately.

The second time was when we needed an air conditioner moved and lifted to a platform. Again, he showed up on time, completed the job quickly (including a new gas line) and the fee was very reasonable.

We have received a quote from Greg to replace the air conditioner and furnace and when we are ready to move ahead, we will be calling him.

I have no hesitation in recommending TwinTech!

by AS from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Our rating for Twintech is 5/5 stars. They are very professional and efficient, and the transparency they maintain right from the preliminary assessment till the day of the work is a testament to their experience in the field. We had Twintech replace our air conditioning and furnace, and we appreciate the efforts taken by Greg.

by Raymond from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

After 18 years my Air conditioner died in the middle of a heat wave. I entered my information on Home Stars and within the hour Dave from Twin Tech responded and offered to meet me as soon as possible depending on my availability. Dave was very knowledgeable about the products Twin Tech offered and even though this was the first quote I received . I felt very comfortable in giving Twin Tech my business. maybe it was the professional approach. Needless to say that the crew with Greg and Grant arrived promptly at the time they committed to were very professional and within a few hours had the place cool. They cleaned up and one would never know that I had work done . I know that the System is new and I probably wont need to worry about it for some time. However with the professionalism displayed by the crew I feel assured that should I need to call for service Twin Tech will respond. I also know that should I need a new Heating system I will go with Twin Tech. Keep up the good work.

Greg and team were amazing! All interaction via email and text 100% professional. From consult to product recommendation their service was phenomenal!

Installed a Napoleon furnace (ecm dc drive variable 2-stage) and it was a game changer for the whole house. Blended air temperature through and through the entire house and it’s saving us money by cutting down our utility bill by ALOT!

by D &. from Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We purchased a new cooling & heating system from Twintech and the team was fantastic. From sales to installation, the team were great to work with. Friendly (our dog even enjoyed having them over), professional and accommodating. I’d recommend Twintech in a heart beat to anyone. Superb customer service.

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all!

I definitely recommend TwinTech!
