Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Help

Heat pumps run all year, so problems show up fast. Here are the issues we see most on Chicagoland service calls, and what they usually mean for your heating and cooling.

Heat Pump Won’t Switch to Heating

The reversing valve is stuck or the refrigerant is low. Either way, your system can’t pull heat inside when you need it most.

Higher Heating Bills Than Normal

An aging compressor or dirty coils make your heat pump work harder for the same comfort, and your energy costs show it.
