Brice Heat Pump Repair: Heat Pump Blowing Cold Air in Winter

Quality Air Background element

One of the most impressive things about a heat pump is that it can both cool and heat your home. But if something goes wrong and your heat pump is suddenly trying to cool your Brice home in the middle of the winter, you have a problem. Here are some possible causes of the issue and what you can do about them.

Call our professionals at 614.262.1818

Defective Reversing Valve

The reversing valve is responsible for changing the flow of refrigerant between seasons so your heat pump can both heat and cool your home. So, if it breaks, you can imagine what happens next – you won’t switch into heating mode and your heat pump will try to air condition your home.

Defective reversing valves are hard to diagnose because the symptoms are largely the same as those of a defective compressor or condenser valve. However, because of how they are installed and where they are located, you will need a professional to inspect this problem no matter what.

Low on Refrigerant

Your heat pump should never run low on refrigerant because it shouldn’t leak, but if it does and the refrigerant gets low, or if your device is simply very old, this may be a problem. Low refrigerant means that the device cannot transfer enough heat between the outdoor air and the indoor air. And, the air that gets blown through your ducts by the air handler isn’t heated as much as is necessary to warm your house.

The problem is relatively easy to fix, though you should also have your repair technician check for leaks, and the possible cause for the low refrigerant in the first place.

 Not Running at All

The final problem is one you should be able to notice quite easily. If the heat pump isn’t working at all but the air handler and blower are working fine, then the device will simply blow cold air from outside or possibly even just recycled cold air from inside. In either case, the heat pump isn’t running, which means it can’t heat the air and therefore, you’re just getting the outside temperature inside. 

This can be caused by a number of problems so it’s important to call Quality Air Heating and Air Conditioning to inspect it immediately.
