Heating season is almost here again, as we are in the heart of winter. However, you should make sure that you have a high-quality heat pump. Heat pumps are a great way to heat any area(s). If your home’s HVAC system lacks this component or has been examined for a while, it can cause issues. This blog lists common mistakes to avoid when installing a heat pump on your residential property.
Avoid these common mistakes.
The Refrigerant Reserve Is Running Low
Every HVAC system requires a sufficient supply of refrigerant material. Without this vital substance, the machine is prone to overheating. Overheating will cause damage to its components, which could result in pricey repairs you cannot afford. Do not let this happen to you. Foresight now saves time and money later. Why is having adequate coolant important? Because the refrigerant components remove heat from the surrounding environment to provide that excellent chilling effect.
Leaky Ductwork
How frequently do you change the air filters in our house? If you can’t recall the answer to this question, it’s probably time to change them. Leaky ductwork can degrade heat pump performance, resulting in disappointing results. The ducts contribute to the preservation of pristine air quality. Failing to maintain your ducting is terrible for your energy bills.
Your Heat Pump Is Too Big
On the other hand, the heat pump could be the source of the problem. The HVAC specialists AT W.E. Kingswell will help you determine the HVAC unit size required. They can also propose the right size heat pump for your property based on its size. Oversized heat pumps are prone to short cycling, so they have to work harder to meet the same heating or cooling load needs. It also wastes electricity, which raises your utility expenses.
