With a furnace and air conditioner, the furnace provides hot air during the winter, and the AC provides cold air during the summer. However, with a heat pump system, the heat pump offers both hot and cold air, depending on your needs.<\/p>\n When in cooling mode, a heat pump works the same way as an air conditioner. There are coils inside the heat pump that has refrigerant flowing through it. The refrigerant flows from the outside heat pump to the air handler, which sits where a furnace would usually sit, and cools the air that’s flowing inside of it. The cool air is then sent throughout the air duct system and distributed in your home.<\/p>\n When a heat pump is in cooling or air conditioning mode, there’s very little to no difference between a heat pump and a furnace\/air conditioner.<\/p>\n Where heat pumps differ significantly from furnaces and air conditioners is in heating mode. In heating mode, the outside heat pump and the indoor air handler essentially reverse their duties. The heat pump sucks in air and, rather than making it extremely cold, the heat pump heats it up. This hot air then gets distributed throughout your home in the same way that cold air does.<\/p>\n If you’re interested in having a heat pump installed in your home, contact us at 1-800-Plumber + Air & Electric of Amarillo. We can provide you with top-notch service and, if necessary, replacement of your heat pump.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”middle-cta start-your-service-request guy-in-front-of-van” css=”.vc_custom_1735331713364{background-image: url(https:\/\/1800plumber.com\/amarillo-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/Start-Your-Service-Request-CTA-bg.jpg?id=2847) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”mb0″]<\/p>\n We know your time is valuable.

Let’s take a look at some of the most common issues that heat pumps can encounter as well as why they occur.<\/p>\n The compressor on your heat pump is one of its most integral components. The compressor’s job is to pressurize refrigerant and keep it moving throughout the heat pump system. If your compressor isn’t working correctly, the refrigerant will not flow as it should, and you’ll have difficulty reaching the desired temperature inside your home.<\/p>\n Both the outdoor heat pump and the indoor air handler are equipped with a series of coils or pipes that the refrigerant is flowing through. The coils inside your home and outside of it are connected via a pair of copper pipes. The refrigerant flows from the outdoor coil, through the copper pipes, and into the indoor coil. If there are problems with either set of coils, a refrigerant leak or blockage could result, and your heat pump system won’t work correctly.<\/p>\n The reversing valve located in the heat pump allows it to generate both cold and hot air, depending on what time of year it is. If there’s a problem with the reversing valve, your heat pump will fail to produce cold air, warm air, or both.<\/p>\n The condenser fan is located on the outside heat pump and is responsible for blowing air over the top of the coils. The air is what is responsible for beginning the heat exchange that produces either hot or cold air.<\/p>\n The job of the expansion valve is to act as a metering device, which regulates the flow of refrigerant throughout your heat pump. The expansion valve increases or decreases the pressure of the refrigerant flow, which raises or lowers the temperature depending on what your needs are.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_id=”things”][vc_row el_class=”blurb-row light2″][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”mb0″]<\/p>\n While each of the above problems requires the repair skills of the professionals at 1-800-Plumber + Air & Electric of Amarillo, there are a few things that you can do yourself to keep your heat pump running smoothly.<\/p>\n An essential part of keeping your system running smoothly is to make sure that your indoor and outdoor coils stay clean. To do that, simply turn your system off and hose down the inside and outside coils with a low-pressure hose. Doing this once a year is a good way to keep your heat pump healthy.<\/p>\n Because your heat pump is located outside, it’s prone to damage from trees and weeds. Make sure that you don’t plant any bushes, trees, or shrubs near your heat pump that could eventually cause damage.<\/p>\n If you notice that ice starts to build upon the copper pipes near your heat pump or air handler, you should immediately contact 1-800-Plumber + Air & Electric of Amarillo. You likely have a refrigerant leak or blockage that only a professional can repair.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_id=”how”][vc_row el_class=”common-services-row for-single-service dark1″][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”mb0″]<\/p>\n If you notice any of the following issues, it’s time to call in the pros for help.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”testimonials add-parallax” css=”.vc_custom_1734724704292{padding-top: 117px !important;padding-bottom: 90px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/1800plumber.com\/amarillo-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/testimonials-bg.jpg?id=2652) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_row el_class=”testimonials-opacity” css=”.vc_custom_1632264895750{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”mb0″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1632263868192{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”mb0-desktop”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row el_class=”top-cta cta-row accent3″][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”mb0″]<\/p>\nWhat Heating Services do we provide?<\/h3>\n\t
