It’s expected for your heat pump to make some noise as it heats or cools your house. Wintertime can make it even more noisy, since it could switch to defrost mode to avoid frosting over.
There are a couple of things you can do to make your heat pump heat and cool more quietly throughout the year.
1. Schedule Regular Heat Pump Checkups
Heat pump maintenance is tremendously important, because it keeps your manufacturer warranty ongoing. This keeps your finances in tact if your heat pump experiences a huge issue during your warranty period.
It can also help our professionals uncover small problems that can make your heat pump noisier. And possibly help you avoid an expensive repair during severe weather that impacts your comfort.
If little heat pump problems keep on going unnoticed, they may make your system stop working later. By fixing issues like this early, our professionals can get your heat pump fixed before you surely need to rely on it.
Even more crucial, having a pro clean and lubricate your heat pump’s moving components could make it more efficient. This could help you spend less on your energy expenses.
Since your heat pump runs all year, we recommend having this service done twice annually, before summer and before winter.
2. Regularly Put in a New Air Filter
Your home’s air keeps fresh and clean as a result of your air filter. When the filter becomes clogged, it can result in several issues, like short cycling. This makes your heat pump turn on and off more often, need more energy and can wear it out more quickly.
Here’s how regularly we recommend changing your air filter:
- Flat filter: Once a month
- Pleated filter: Every three months
If you have allergies or pets, you could need to change the filter more often.
