Increased electricity usage is often the first sign of trouble with heat pumps. By tracking your usage, you’ll be able to spot surges and know to call for help. You can track your electricity usage manually through your bills. Some providers let customers opt in for notifications when there’s high usage. There are also smart thermostats with energy monitoring as a feature.
Another common sign of problems with heat pumps is short cycling. A typical cycle is 10 to 15 minutes long. If your heat pump is turning on and off more frequently than that, it will cause significant wear and tear. Frequent cycling will also cause your electricity usage to rise considerably. There is a wide range of causes. Sometimes, it’s as simple as a clogged filter needing replacement. Other times, it indicates that there’s a refrigerant leak or that the system is overheating.
If your heat pump has turned off and won’t turn back on, the issue is often power-related. Check to make sure the circuit breaker didn’t trip. If it did, you can reset it once. Don’t keep resetting it if it trips again. Repeated tripping indicates a more serious electrical problem, and continued resets could cause further damage.
Another common issue with heat pumps happens at the start of a season. They’ll turn on but be stuck in the mode from the previous season. This happens due to a stuck reversing valve. Often, it’s possible to loosen the valve and clean and lubricate it. Other times, it’s necessary to replace the valve.
