HEAT PUMP REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, AND MAINTENANCE FOR HOMEOWNERS IN EDISON, NEW JERSEY AND SURROUNDING AREAS
For homeowners in Edison, New Jersey, who want to heat and cool their houses, a heat pump is ideal. Due to the fact that heat pumps struggle in temperatures below freezing, they perform best in temperate climes like those in California. Because they pull air from the outside to warm your home, the pumps function best in warmer areas. The heat pump will have to work harder and less effectively if the outside air is too cold.
WHAT IS A HEAT PUMP?
When they first read “Heat Pump,” many people assume it is only for heating. A heat pump, in contrast to what is commonly believed, is a heating and cooling device that moves warm air. In the winter, the system draws in outside air, warms it to the correct temperature, and then disperses the heated air throughout a room. The pump moves warm interior air outside throughout the summer. The HVAC system is mounted outside your house.
HEAT PUMPS ARE ENERGY EFFICIENT
Compared to other systems, this heating and cooling solution consumes less energy since heat pumps just transfer energy rather than producing it. In mild regions, heat pumps seldom need to generate heat, which keeps them energy-efficient throughout the winter. In comparison to electric resistance heating, Energy.gov claims that modern heat pumps may cut your power use by around 50%.
HEAT PUMP MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance is necessary for your heat pump to continue working effectively, much like a car needs an oil change. Maintaining your appliance regularly ensures that it is functioning appropriately and effectively. Preventative maintenance from a Carrano Air expert might help identify an issue before it becomes a breakdown. For maximum durability, dependability, and efficiency, heat pumps need to be maintained at least once a year.

Try these easy problem-solving techniques before contacting your Carrano technician.
VERIFY THAT THE THERMOSTAT IS OPERATING.
It’s possible that your thermostat is off or not set to the proper temperature. This may be the cause of your heat pump’s full loss of airflow. Make sure the thermostat is on, is set up correctly, and, if it uses batteries, that the batteries are brand new.
CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR HEAT PUMP IS BLOCKED.
Insufficient airflow caused by a clogged heat pump may be the cause of your reduced heating or increased electricity costs. Any obstacle or debris might hinder airflow and cause your heat pump to work harder because your heat pump draws air from the outside.
CHECK YOUR AIR FILTER.
One of the most vital things you can do for your heat pump is to maintain a clean air filter. Your air filter ensures steady airflow, pure air, and general comfort. Your heat pump may overheat, shut down, or have slowed circulation if your air filter is unclean or blocked.
HEAT PUMP REPLACEMENT SERVICES
How do you know whether to replace or repair your heat pump? There are many factors to consider, but here are the main reasons you should consider replacement.
HEAT PUMP IS 10 YEARS OR OLDER.
The likelihood of needing to replace a heat pump starts to increase about the time the unit is 10 years old, despite the fact that they normally last 15 years on average. Because it operates year-round to heat and cool, your heat pump’s efficiency levels decrease as it ages.
HEAT PUMP NEEDS FREQUENT REPAIRS.
If your appliance is ten years old or older, it may require regular repairs, which can be expensive. A new heat pump can save future energy and maintenance expenditures.
YOUR HEAT PUMP IS STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN THE THERMOSTAT SETTING.
It could be time to replace your system if you have looked into heat pump repair and your unit is still having trouble keeping the house warm or cold. Your comfort as a whole will be compromised by a struggling unit, which will also increase your energy costs. To reduce your electricity costs and maintain your comfort, let us assist you in replacing your outdated heat pump with a modern, efficient unit.
