Why is My Panasonic Heat Pump Not Turning On?

If your Panasonic heat pump is not turning on, there could be several reasons for the issue. Here are some common troubleshooting steps to help you identify and possibly resolve the problem:


  1. Power Supply: Ensure that the heat pump is receiving power. Check the power supply, including the circuit breaker and any relevant switches. If there's a power outage, wait for the power to be restored.


  2. Thermostat Settings: Double-check the thermostat settings. Make sure the temperature is set to a level that should trigger the heat pump to turn on. If the thermostat is battery-operated, check and replace the batteries if needed.


  3. Mode Settings: Verify that the heat pump is set to the heating mode (if applicable). Some heat pumps have multiple modes, including heating and cooling. Make sure it's in the correct mode for the current season.


  4. Air Filters: Dirty or clogged air filters can restrict airflow and affect the heat pump's performance. Check and clean or replace the air filters according to the manufacturer's recommendations.


  5. Condensate Drain: Ensure that the condensate drain is not blocked. A blocked drain can trigger a safety switch that prevents the heat pump from turning on. Clear any debris or obstructions in the condensate drain.


  6. Circuit Breaker: Check the circuit breaker for the heat pump. If it has tripped, reset it. If the breaker continues to trip, it may indicate an electrical issue, and you should consult with a qualified electrician.


  7. Remote Control Issues: If your heat pump comes with a remote control, check its batteries and functionality. If the remote control is not working, try using the manual controls on the unit itself.


  8. Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant levels can impact the heat pump's ability to operate efficiently. If you suspect a refrigerant issue, it's best to contact a professional HVAC technician to inspect and recharge the system.


  9. Fault Codes: Some Panasonic heat pumps have a diagnostic system that displays error or fault codes. Refer to the user manual to interpret any error codes displayed on the unit and take appropriate action.


If you've gone through these troubleshooting steps and the heat pump still isn't working, it's advisable to contact a qualified HVAC technician for a thorough inspection and repair. Attempting to fix complex HVAC issues without the necessary expertise can lead to further problems and safety hazards.

by Bill P. Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Thank you for your attention to detail regarding my purchase of a new air conditioner. Twintech arrived at the appointed time and were totally professional on the installation process completing the job quickly. PS thanks for the assistance applying for the government rebate

by Sam C, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Dave and the guys from Twintech did a great job of installing my AC. They came on time did a nice neat job and cleaned up after themselves! Do not waste your time call Twintech first.

by Mary W, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My AC unit was not working at all and our furnace that was still working but not giving us any trouble was over 15 years old. So I had 3 heating companies come out to give us a quote on replacing both the AC and the furnace at the same time. Two companies right away recommended that I replace both units simply because they were old. Dave from twintech however suggested that we save some money and replace the AC only because it seemed to him that the furnace was still in great shape and was running fine. He told us that he would have his technicians inspect the furnace thoroughly when they had it apart to install the AC. My husband was at home when the furnace was apart and was very impressed when the tech took him downstairs to personally show him that the furnace was in excellent working condition. He also cleaned the furnace at no extra charge. So now I have an honest heating and AC company that I can highly recommend to other home owners. Great job Thank You!

by Scott B, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I had made the decision to replace my furnace and AC earlier this year. After meeting with several HVAC contractors I decided to go with Dave and his company. Dave was on time, polite, friendly and very professional. He took the time to answer all my questions and to explain the scope of work that would be required to do the job. The technicians arrived on time did a professional installation and completed the job on schedule. They respected my home by putting down vinyl runners to protect my floors and did a very thorough clean up. I’m very pleased with my decision to go with Dave and his team. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering upgrading their furnace and air conditioner.

I have no problem in recommending Dave and the TWINTECH team to any home owner who is looking for quality heating and AC products and expert service.

by Eric Y, Greenbank on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Dave was great in helping me get the proper units for my property, as well as getting them installed. The installers arrived when they said they would, and completed the project on time, and professionally. If I needed another furnace, I would use Dave again.

I have known Greg and Grant Dainty for many years and have used their company for my house and business. I recommended them also for my parents and sister and they all have been very satisfied with the quality of work for a reasonable price. I just recently had them install a new HVAC system in an older house and was very pleased with their work. Craig in Pickering. After meeting with various heating and air conditioning contractors I was referred to Twin Tech Heating and Cooling through a family member. Greg and Grant arrived at my home and provided me with an estimate and a plan as to how they were going to remove and replace my furnace and air conditioner. On the day of install Greg and Grant arrived at my home on time and were very professional and extremely courteous as to any questions or concerns that I had. The removal and install was truly professional and the attention to detail was exactly what I was looking for. I’ve seen many installs from other contractors and I couldn’t be any happier to have had such a clean looking install. The sheet metal work, ducting and venting all look fantastic. Upon completion Greg and Grant left me feeling extremely happy and very fortunate of a job well done. Thanks again Twin Tech!!

by Damien McIsaac. Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

To whom it may concern, I recently had TwinTech (Greg and Grant Dainty) replace my furnace and service both my gas fireplaces and air conditioning unit. They were professional, courteous and very fair in their pricing. I would gladly recommend TwinTech to anyone needing work done. I can be contacted at 905-626-XXXX.

by Blair N. - Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My Fiancé and I have relied on Twintech Heating and Cooling now for the better part of the last 10 years. In that time, Greg has installed a furnace, an air conditioner, and a heat-pump at our residence in Toronto. In each instance Greg and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They were courteous and professional throughout the whole process and the quality of their work is first rate. Our experiences have always been extremely positive and we have referred his services numerous times to our friends and family. Without hesitation, I would recommend Greg and TwinTech Heating and Cooling to anyone looking to service or replace their existing heat/AC equipment
