Heating and Cooling Service in Richmond

1. What to check if your unit is freezing up? 1. Air filter: If the air filter needs to be replaced, air flow is hindered causing your heat pump not to work properly. 2. Air flow: If you don’t feel any air flowing from the vent, the blower motor or another part is malfunctioning. You can test this by setting the thermostat manually to fan and seeing if any blows through the vents. 3. Fins: Check the fins for any debris, like dirt or leaves, that might be blocking the air from passing through. 4. Leaky gutters: If a gutter is dripping water onto the top of the unit, you will need to repair your gutter. If none of these issues seem to be the cause of your heat pump working improperly, it could be a bigger problem that you’ll need to have checked out by a technician. A buildup of ice over your unit will increase your electricity bill quite a bit and will be more expensive in the long term.
