Call it Murphy’s Law, or maybe just a little misfortune, but we sometimes see heat pump issues in Eastland during the cooler months, when they’re needed the most to keep you toasty. While you know the team at J & J Air Conditioning will always be there ASAP when you require us for a heat pump repair, there are some things you can do to double check a repair is important and save yourself some cash if it’s not. We’ve gathered this checklist of things to test before you give us a call.
- It may sound ridiculous, but make sure everything is switched “on”. We’ve been to several calls only to find the thermostat or the heat pump itself is turned off.
- Is the thermostat turned to heat? If yes, raise the temperature by five degrees to check if it turns on.
- If everything looks accurate, inspect your heat pump switch (if it has one) and inspect the fuses and circuit breaker that guard the extra heating element (if it has one).
- If the heat pump still hasn’t kicked on, revisit your thermostat.
- Try swapping the battery, if it has one.
- Is an obstruction causing your heat pump to fail?
- Examine your air filters inside your air handler to ensure they’re not blocking things up.
- Are your room heating registers open and clear?
If you’ve worked through this checklist and you still need a heat pump repair, call J & J Air Conditioning at 254-355-3833 and we’ll return your home back to the welcoming and cozy place you expect this time of year.
