    Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Niagara Falls

    Not only can an electric heat pump raise the temperature in your home in Niagara Falls, it can cool it too. When compared to conventional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a lower energy bill.

    Heat pumps work with an air handler, which distributes air throughout your home. While an air handler might resemble a furnace, it doesn’t make heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to assist the heat pump.

    When you need heat pump service or heat pump repair, contact Niagara Home Services by Enercare. We can service any model of heat pump. Our technicians are TSSA-certified, which means they are among the finest in the HVAC industry when it comes to heating and cooling.

    And like all our other work, our services for heat pump systems are backed by a worry free guarantee.

    Poor Maintenance Can Cost You

    A badly maintained system can cost you. On average, an ignored heat pump can consume 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to break down or fail prematurely.

    When your HVAC system isn’t delivering the best home heating or isn’t working properly, try our troubleshooting guide below.

    • No heat. Check your thermostat is set to “on” and “heat.” Next, make sure a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Recently replaced your thermostat? Make sure it’s a model made for heat pumps and wired correctly.
    • Insufficient heat. Dirty filters, fan and coils can reduce airflow and harm your system. Swap your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and clear yard debris that may have accumulated around it. Your system may also have blocked air ducts, faulty valves or poor refrigeration flow.
    • Cold air instead of heat. Air from a heat pump won’t be as hot as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too crisp, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the ambient temperature. If you get warm air, there may be trouble with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s probably an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to stop it from icing up. If you see frost or ice on the outdoor coil, your unit may have a defective defroster timer or control module, or it could need refrigerant.
    • Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Swap out your air filter and then look at your thermostat, because it may need to be adjusted or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is working all the time, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps become ineffective around 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • Rattling, grinding or squealing noises. If you hear rattling, try tightening the cover panels. If you hear grinding or squealing, switch off your system and get in touch with Niagara Home Services by Enercare. This could signal a serious problem.

    Should I Repair or Replace My Heat Pump?

    When you’re faced with an expensive repair for your heat pump, it may be time to upgrade it.

    Your heat pump may need to be replaced when it:

    • Isn’t providing adequate heating and cooling
    • Needs regular repairs
    • Is inflating utility bills, even though you haven’t raised or lowered thermostat settings
    • Is more than 10 years old

    When it comes to heat pump replacement or heat pump installation, Niagara Home Services by Enercare can help you pick and install an energy-efficient model that’s right for your home. We can also help figure out whether your air handler needs to be replaced too.

    You can rely on a neat installation and a thorough system check before we leave. This makes sure your new system is running properly and that you know how to use it.
