Avoid the mistake of putting off calling Comfort Solutions HVAC for heat pump repair in Allentown, PA. A big reason heat pumps in Allentown are as popular as they are is energy efficiency. They can consume less electricity and cost less to run than many other HVAC technologies. When there’s a problem, the system is out of balance, and energy consumption often spikes. You may find yourself spending a lot more on electricity. The issue can also deteriorate and require a more complex and expensive repair.

A heat pump malfunction can cause a spike in electricity usage as high as 50%. Homeowners should monitor their month-to-month and year-to-year consumption. You’ll be able to identify surges and will know to call us. Some electrical companies let you opt-in for high-usage notifications. You can also upgrade to a smart thermostat with energy tracking.
Homeowners should also note how their heat pumps cycle normally so that they recognize irregular cycling. A typical cycle is 10 to 15 minutes long but could be longer in extreme weather. It should occur three times an hour at most. If a heat pump turns on more frequently, it’s short cycling. Short cycling can have a simple cause, such as a clogged HVAC filter, or a complex cause, such as refrigerant leaks. In either case, the irregular cycling can cause unnecessary wear to the heat pump, shortening its lifespan.
Non-zoned central systems should provide the same temperature and relative humidity throughout the home. If yours isn’t, there’s an underlying problem. If the problem is low airflow, you may be able to feel it at your vents. Homeowners may also experience cold and warm spots in certain rooms and temperature differences between floors.
Don’t ignore odds smells from your system either. Mustiness, for instance, can indicate microbial growth on the system’s evaporator coil. It can also mean mildew or mold flourishing in your ductwork.
Watch for these other signs you need a heat pump repair.
High humidity levels
Loud or unusual noises
Excessive dust accumulation
Cycling for extended periods
System won’t switch between modes
