Call it Murphy’s Law, or maybe just a little misfortune, but we sometimes see heat pump troubles in Norco and St. Charles Parish during the colder seasons, when they’re necessary to keep you warm. While you know the team at Mayeuxs AC & Heating will constantly be there ASAP when you require us for a heat pump repair, there are some things you can do to ensure a repair is needed and save yourself some cash if it’s not. We’ve gathered this checklist of things to try before you give us a call.
- It may sound silly, but make sure everything is switched “on”. We’ve been to several calls only to realize the thermostat or the heat pump itself is turned off.
- Is the thermostat set to heat? If yes, boost the temperature by five degrees to see if it kicks on.
- If everything looks right, test your heat pump switch (if it has one) and check the fuses and circuit breaker that guard the extra heating element (if it has one).
- If the heat pump still hasn’t kicked on, return to your thermostat.
- Try replacing the battery, if it has one.
- Is an obstruction causing your heat pump to not work?
- Inspect your air filters inside your air handler to ensure they’re not jamming things up.
- Are your room heating registers open and unobstructed?
If you’ve gone through this checklist and you still need a heat pump repair, call Mayeuxs AC & Heating at (985) 764-2426 and we’ll restore your home back to the toasty and cozy place you expect this time of year.
