Heat Pump Servicing And Repairing
Following a heat pump installation from the friendly team of technicians at Comfy Kiwi Homes, your relationship with temperature-controlled comfort can begin – but our assistance doesn’t end there. To help you gain longevity, efficiency and optimal use from your newly installed unit, here’s how our heat pump servicing and repairs can help maintain a comfy home.
What Does Heat Pump Servicing Involve?
- Cleaning the unit: Our technicians typically clean the heat pump inside and out to remove any dust, dirt or debris that has accumulated over time.
- Checking the refrigerant levels: Measuring the refrigerant levels in the unit allows us to top them up if necessary. Proper refrigerant levels are essential for the unit to operate efficiently and effectively.
- Checking the air filters: By checking the air filters we’ll know to clean or replace them if necessary. Clean air filters will maintain good indoor air quality.
- Checking the electrical connections: Your Comfy Kiwi technician will check all of the electrical connections in the unit to ensure that they are secure and free of any damage or corrosion.
- Checking the fan blades: We’ll inspect the fan blades and clean or adjust them if necessary to ensure that the unit is operating smoothly and quietly.
- Inspecting the outdoor unit: Comfy Kiwi Homes will ensure the outdoor unit is clear of any debris or obstructions and that the fan is operating correctly.
COMMON HEAT PUMP REPAIRS
- Faulty fan: Heat pumps rely on a fan to circulate air. If the fan is not working properly, it can affect the unit’s performance. A qualified technician can diagnose the issue and replace the fan if necessary.
- Refrigerant leaks: Low refrigerant levels can cause the heat pump to work harder than necessary and lead to higher energy bills. A technician can locate and repair any leaks.
- Thermostat issues: A malfunctioning thermostat can cause the heat pump to run continuously or not turn on at all.
- Compressor problems: The compressor is a critical component of the heat pump and can experience issues such as motor failure or electrical issues. Allow Comfy Kiwi Homes to diagnose and repair these issues as needed.
- Frozen coils: Frozen coils can be caused by a variety of issues, including dirty air filters, low refrigerant levels or a malfunctioning fan. We can locate and replace.
- Electrical issues: A number of electrical problems could be affecting the performance of the heat pump and even pose a safety risk.
Residential heat pumps should be serviced at least once a year in New Zealand to ensure they are operating efficiently and effectively, and to comply with the heat pump warranty. Regular maintenance can help to prevent breakdowns, extend the lifespan of your heat pump, and ensure that it is operating safely. Usage patterns, local climate conditions and living in an area with high levels of allergens may require more frequent servicing.
Heat pump servicing carried out by a non-expert can cause more harm than good. Specific maintenance requirements vary depending on the make and model of your heat pump unit. Our qualified technicians clean and inspect the unit, check the refrigerant levels, replace any worn or damaged parts, and perform any necessary repairs. They will also check the air filters and clean them if needed, which can help to improve the indoor air quality in your home and keep the system running smoothly. For these reasons, it is best to receive the help of a professional for your annual servicing.
Not cleaning your filter can first and foremost cause your heat pump to either decrease in efficiency or, worst, allow dangerous bacteria to grow and flow into your home. The main reason filters must be cleaned is to avoid these issues from arising and keep your heat pump from failing.
