If your monthly utility bills have increased seemingly out of nowhere with no explanation, this could be due to an issue with your heat pump. If your utility bills have increased in conjunction with any of the following signs, you should call East Coast Plumbing Heating and Air as soon as possible to have your heat pump repaired and utility bills return to normal.

When your heat pump has dirty air filters, dirty coils, or is blocked by other dirt and debris, its blower motor can slow, which will cause poor airflow. If your home is particularly dusty and/or taking a while to heat, your heat pump may be suffering.

Heat pumps are naturally noisy machines, but if you begin to hear loud banging, rattling, or screeching noises, you will need professional assistance from the repair experts at East Coast Plumbing Heating and Air.

If you notice foul odors coming from your heat pump, you will need to contact East Coast Plumbing Heating and Air right away. Musty and moldy smells indicate that there is a potential mold problem internally while burning smells indicate a major safety hazard. If you smell a burning smell coming from your heat pump, call East Coast Plumbing Heating and Air immediately.

Does your home not ever seem to reach a comfortable temperature? When you turn the temperature up all the way, does it still feel cold in your house? This is likely due to a fan motor or thermistor issue within your heat pump system and will require professional repair from a certified technician at East Coast Plumbing Heating and Air.

If your heat pump is running at full blast with a steady airflow and you’re still cold, then your heat pump is acting up and needs to be inspected. The problem could be with the fan or fan motor. There might be some thermostat issues that have to be addressed.

It’s also possible that your heat pump’s electronic control board or PCB assembly is malfunctioning. The thermistor, which signals the main control board when to turn the compressor on or off, could be failing as well.
