Heat Pump Problems | Parkland | WestCoast Heating and Air

More homeowners are investing in heat pumps as an energy-saving substitute to traditional furnaces. However, like most appliances, issues will arrive sooner or later. It’s essential to recognize heat pump problems and contact a technician for repairs before issues exacerbate.

Heat Pump Won’t Turn On

Is the heat pump not switching on? The unit may have one of the following problems:

Broken thermostat: there may be a miscalibration with the thermostat or a wiring abnormality.
Faulty reversing valve: the reversing valve reverses the flow of the refrigerant, allowing the appliance to work as both a heater and air conditioner. A worn reversing valve may keep the appliance from switching on.
Broken starter capacitator: Do you hear a clicking sound when switching on the unit? The issue may lie in the starter capacitator; this part may not be sending an electrical current to the motor.

Heat Pump not Heating

If there is little to no heat, then there may be a blockage. This can be caused by outdoor debris, such as leaves and dirt. This inhibits the appliance from transmitting outdoor heat into the home interior. It may also be the case that you have a clogged air filter that keeps the compressor from receiving sufficient air.

Heat Pump Runs Nonstop

The thermostat controls indoor temperatures by cycling the heat pump on and off. If it just runs constantly without cycling off, then there’s a problem. Again, there may be a thermostat miscalibration. Another possibility is a faulty compressor contractor.

Outstanding customer service and install and price!! This company gave my elderly aunt (and me) a very good price for an American Standard HVAC and AC unit and top of the line thermostat. I got 3 bids. Although the other companies offered 10 year warranty vs 5 year, this company included replacing the refrigeration lines versus just flushing them and offered American Standard brand vs other brands at a good price. The company responded to my inquiry to a quote the same day and my questions either the same day or with 24 hours. This type of customer service makes up for a 10 yr warranty vs a 5 yr warranty and why I chose WestCoast. I know if my elderly aunt or myself call for help they will respond immediately and let us know when they can come out or what we can do before their arrival. Josh and his colleague from WestCoast Heating & Air LLC arrived right on time and were very efficient and professional with the install. I am more than thrilled I selected them. I also paid for 5 years of maintenance service in advance (to ensure everything is running well and change filter if needed) after the one year is up so my aunt doesn’t have to worry about it. Thank you WestCoast H&A.

Pleased with the people, process and the results. It was a pleasure working with them, as well as the electricians who helped them complete the project.

The team from WestCoast did an excellent job helping me pick a heat pump system for my house and answering my questions, including options for air filter upgrades. The installation was very professional with great attention to detail and workmanship. The heat pump itself is amazing and I couldn’t be happier! First time having air conditioning and it is saving a huge amount in electricity and the system is easy to use.

I want to thank WestCoast Heating & Air for their great job and excellent customer service. Everything about my experience with WestCoast was above expectations. The owner, Michael Smith, made time to meet with me late in the day and spent a significant amount of time explaining the best install options while keeping my budget in mind. On install day, they showed up on time and were very professional and helpful. When they were in the crawlspace under the house, one of the crew took the time to take pictures of a leaky pipe and warn me of the problem. I have already recommended WestCoast to several friends and colleagues at work and would definitely recommend WestCoast to everyone.

Nick and Josh came out and replaced our furnace and hot water tank. They were professional, knowledgeable and prepared. Plus, Diane in Customer Service was helpful and friendly. Great company, I would definitely work with them again.

This is an honest family run business with great customer service. I had NO HEAT and Diane listened to my problem and sent someone right out. Josh showed up on time and found my problem quickly. He got right to work, fixed the problem and even installed my new thermostat. I needed minimal new parts and the service fee was cheaper than all other companies that I researched. I was very satisfied with every phase of business with West Coast Heating & Air. They are now my go to company for any A/C and heating needs in the future.
