Heat Pump Repair in Oklahoma City, OK

HEAT PUMP SERVICING

When you schedule heat pump servicing with Van Dyck Mechanical, LLC., rest assured you’re going with the most highly skilled technicians in Oklahoma. From large installations to minor repairs on all kinds of systems, our team knows what they’re doing. Here’s a quick overview of what our techs will look out for when servicing your heat pump:

Clogged Air Filters

When too much debris and dirt build up in the air filter, it can hinder airflow to the compressor that is responsible for heating the air in your home. Clearing the filter ensures that your appliance works effectively.

Improper Fan Settings

Often, too much cold or hot air can be a result of wrong fan settings. Setting it correctly ensures that your heat pump’s motor isn’t running in between cycles.

Low Refrigerant Levels

Refrigerant leaks can be hard to spot if you don’t know what to look out for. Low refrigerant levels can cause your heat pump to work even harder, resulting in a shorter lifespan and a much faster need for a full replacement. Luckily, the experienced technicians at Van Dyck will assess your heat pump’s refrigerant levels and can make any adjustments necessary.

Loose Parts

As a heat pump operates, constant vibration can cause nuts and bolts to loosen over time. By checking and tightening the loose parts of your heat pump, our technicians can help solve the issue of excessive noise and possibly prevent expense repairs down the line.

Thermostat Issues

If you notice changing the thermostat has no effect on the temperature of your home, we can help with that. Our technicians can assess whether your thermostat is suffering from calibration issues or if a power surge has affected it and make any necessary fixes or repairs.

HOW PREVENTATIVE HEAT PUMP SERVICE CAN HELP

Here are some ways in which preventative heat pump service can be of help:

Lowering your energy bills

Servicing your heat pump ensures that it runs efficiently. When the unit is in top shape, it uses less energy, thus saving you money on utility bills.

Enhancing your overall comfort

A well-serviced heat pump will ensure that your home remains at consistent temperatures all year round.

Upholding your warranty

The majority of manufacturers will require evidence that you’ve been serving your unit in case you need to make a warranty claim.

Improving indoor air quality

Well-serviced heat pumps will keep your home free from dust mites, allergens, and other dangerous particles that might cause breathing difficulties.

Enhancing your safety

Preventative heat pump service can help safeguard against electric shocks, carbon monoxide poisoning, gas and water leaks, and more.

COMMON HEAT PUMP REPAIRS WE HANDLE

Not turning on at all

This can be a result of many reasons, such as a blown fuse, tripped circuit breaker, or issues with the thermostat. If the pump has mechanical issues, it may fail to start.

Reduced cooling or heating power

This can be due to a faulty thermostat or clogged air filters. If the heat pump is not sized well for the space it serves, it can also lead to poor heating performance. Fortunately, our experts will communicate with you if you need a thermostat replacement.

Unusual noises when in use

Strange and loud noises are mostly caused by loose or worn-out parts resulting from a lack of proper heat pump maintenance.

Frequent cycling

If your heat pump turns off and on too often, it may be due to a sensor or mechanical malfunction. This frequent cycling can lead to increased energy usage as well as lead to premature wear and tear on the unit.

Mode jamming

A heat pump that’s stuck in ‘cool’ or ‘heat’ mode may be having reverse valve issues, an issue that’s easy to fix in the hands of our trained technicians.
