Whether you rely on a heat pump or a furnace to keep your home warm in Orlando during the winter, now\u2019s the time when it may start to show signs that it\u2019s struggling to do its job. This is especially true if you have a heat pump or mini split and it was seeing heavy usage as an air conditioner before you switched it to heating mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what type of system you have, let\u2019s go over signs that it may be exhibiting that indicate it\u2019s time for HVAC repair.<\/a> From short cycling to weak airflow, don\u2019t let your home comfort suffer if your HVAC system is experiencing any of these symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Heat Pump Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Homeowners in Florida who own heat pumps rely heavily on their ability as a single system to keep their homes cold during the winter and comfortable during our brief heating season. But a common issue with heat pumps rears its ugly head when it won\u2019t switch between modes. We\u2019re fast approaching the time of year when you\u2019ll be making the switch from heating to cooling mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A heat pump that won\u2019t switch modes will be obvious. When you switch it to cooling mode, it\u2019ll blow hot air instead of cold air. This is usually caused by a faulty reversing valve. This is the component that allows your heat pump to operate as a 2-in-1 system. The reversing valve can wear down over time and break. Luckily, it\u2019s an easy fix for our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Mini Split Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mini splits are heat pumps that don\u2019t require ductwork to operate (that\u2019s why they\u2019re also called ductless mini splits. Homeowners who own these systems come to depend on its ability to heat or cool a single zone or room of their homes. However, when one of the air handlers stops working, that custom comfort you\u2019ve grown to love becomes a source of frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you should check is the air handler\u2019s remote control. Sometimes the batteries just need to be replaced. Also, check the air filter. Replacing or cleaning the air filter is crucial in a mini split for optimal performance and efficiency. If these tips don\u2019t do the trick, it\u2019s time to give us a call to pinpoint the problem and fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Central Furnace Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Older homes in Florida are more likely to have a central furnace to provide heating. When a furnace is only used for a couple of months out of the year, a common furnace issue is that it doesn\u2019t produce enough heat or have strong airflow when you finally do turn it on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could be due to anything from a clogged air filter which can inhibit airflow to a lack of maintenance. Annual tune-ups are still needed for a furnace despite how little you may use it. If your furnace isn\u2019t sufficiently heating your home, give us a call for prompt repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
