Transitioning Your Heat Pump

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” border_style=”solid” _builder_version=”3.0.63″] As cooler fall temperatures approach here in Owensboro, you will need to transition your heat pump from being a cooling source to supplying heat. It is time to schedule maintenance before temperatures drop and you need the heating system to function properly.

Some Things You Can do at Home:

  • Replace the air filter.
  • Remove any growth from a two to three foot area around the outdoor section of your heat pump.
  • Clean out the coils before cold weather makes this difficult.
  • Check your thermostat settings and adjust for cold weather.
  • Flush and clean the drain line. Remember to prime the trap, if necessary.
  • If your unit uses electric heat, check all of the wiring for discoloration and heat damage.

Things You Should Leave to the Professionals:

  • Have the refrigerant checked to ensure there is a safe level. Refrigerant levels need to remain consistent, even in the cold weather.
  • Electrical connections will be inspected to check for exposed wiring or loose connections.
  • Blower motor should be oiled. Blower wheels should be inspected for balance.
  • A professional will check the energy efficiency of your unit. If any problems are present, they should be repaired before operating the heating system.
  • Check and clean the evaporator coils.
