Comprehensive Heat Pump Services
We’re a full-service HVAC company, which means we do all types of heat pumps, including air-source and ground-source ones. We’re even available for 24/7 emergency service, so count on us to expertly complete maintenance, installation, and repairs on your heat pump.
Regular Heat Pump Tune-Ups
Each device in a split-system HVAC requires maintenance once a year. A tune-up for your heat pump should happen twice since the nifty reversible cycle provides both heating and cooling (that’s twice the wear and tear compared to an air conditioner or a furnace).
During heat pump maintenance, our Star technicians will complete the following:
- Check refrigerant levels and look for leaks. Add more refrigerant if it is low.
- Check all the electrical connections. Clean or tighten things as needed.
- Lubricate all moving parts to prevent them from grinding each other down.
- Check the condition of all your heat pump’s components and fix issues.
- Calibrate your thermostat and system control.
- Clear any blockages in the condensate drain.
- Carefully clean your heat pump’s coils.
- Change the unit’s air filter.
Efficient Repairs on All Heat Pumps
What repairs can we perform? From minor fixes for subpar heat exchange to replacing a compressor, we can find a solution to any heat pump problem.
Expert Replacement and Heat Pump Installation
Caring for your heat pump should help it last 12-15 years. When that’s over, we can also help you determine the best replacement pump, considering:
- The size of your residence
- The quality of your home’s insulation
- The number of family members using the heat pump
When Does Your Star Heat Pump Need Service?
Do you know the signs your heat pump needs repairs or replacement? Call for help the moment you notice any of the following:
Increasing Energy Bills
You can expect your energy bills to increase when you constantly switch on your heat pump. However, if you notice these expenses rising disproportionately to your usage, the pump needs attention from a professional.
With minor damage, your heat pump can still run, but it uses more electricity to produce the same results. Do you feel tempted to settle for subpar heating or cooling performance to try and save money on repairs? You’ll pay in a lack of energy efficiency instead, so save in the long term by reducing your energy bills and avoiding frequent repairs!
Poor Indoor Air Quality
What qualifies as poor air quality in your Star home?
- Vents that blow lukewarm air
- Humidity levels that increase beyond 60%
- Exacerbated allergies or respiratory conditions
- A heating or cooling cycle that takes longer than usual
Your home is your sanctuary, so you deserve to feel comfortable and safe within it. When you notice these signs, do yourself a favor and call our Star team promptly for heat pump repairs.
Concerning Sounds and Smells
Heat pumps operate quietly compared to regular HVAC devices. Are you hearing unusual sounds recently? Your pump needs repairs.
Notably, if you smell burning coming from your HVAC system, stop using it and call for emergency repairs. The smell of mold also indicates the need for a thorough heat pump cleaning.
Power Problems
If you notice your heat pump turns on and off more frequently than every 15 minutes, you have a problem with short cycling. There’s likely a loose electrical connection or something causing the unit to overheat.
