Heat Pump - No Heating

If your heat pump is not providing heat, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue before calling for professional service. Follow these simple checks to ensure your system is operating correctly.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Check the Thermostat Settings

• Ensure the thermostat is set to HEAT or AUTO mode.
• Make sure the temperature setting is higher than the current room temperature.
• Set the fan to ON for continuous airflow or AUTO if you prefer the blower to run only when heating.

2. Try Restarting the System

• Raise the thermostat to its highest temperature setting and wait a few minutes to see if the heat pump starts.
• If the unit does not turn on, move on to the next steps.

3. Check Airflow and Filters

• A clogged air filter can restrict airflow, reducing the system's efficiency. Check the filter and replace it if it's dirty.
• Ensure all registers and vents are open and unobstructed for proper air circulation.

4. Inspect the Power Supply

• Check the power disconnect switch for both indoor and outdoor units to ensure they are switched on.
• Inspect the breaker panel and reset any tripped breakers connected to the heat pump.

5. Verify Outdoor Unit Operation

• If the outdoor unit is covered in snow or ice, it may struggle to operate.
• Remove any obstructions like leaves or debris that may be blocking airflow.

If your heat pump is still not providing heat after following these steps, it may require professional service.
