It doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter, when your heat pump fails, it can leave you miserable. Because these issues are often unexpected, you know that you need to have the issue handled promptly, whether it’s an odd noise or a complete failure of your system.
Lagana Plumbing & Heating has been in operation in our area since 1948, so we know that a heat pump failure can be deadly. This is why we’ve set up our emergency repair service hotline, so that you can contact us ASAP and get the problem fixed quickly.
Heat pumps are complex systems, and there can be many different reasons why your system isn’t operating properly. In many cases, it can simply be age or a lack of professional maintenance. Unless you have HVAC training, it’s very easy to miss the early signs of problems, leading to more expensive repairs down the road.
For the most part, we’re able to repair your heat pump and get it back into efficient operation. However, if your system is aging or has been neglected for a long period of time, there may be other issues in the future. Your technician can give you a better idea of your system’s overall condition.
If your system isn’t working, smells funny, or makes weird noises, start by shutting it down to prevent additional damage and call us so that we can respond quickly. You’ll then want to reduce heat loss or gain, depending on the season. Use auxiliary comfort system, such as a fireplace or window AC unit.
You can also close curtains, close doors to unused areas, and add rolled towels beneath doors to minimize temperature transfer. These steps should keep your home more comfortable while awaiting assistance. In the winter, avoid running heat sources designed for outdoors to avoid possible carbon monoxide exposure.
A heat pump breakdown isn’t fun, and you need help quickly to return your home or business to its usual level of comfort. Give Lagana’s Hotline a call now for a fast turnaround!
