FAQs

What are the indicators of a heat pump with low refrigerant?

There are numerous indicators that a heat pump has reduced refrigerant levels.

Here is a closer look at some of these reasons so you can have a better idea about what you may be dealing with:

• Diminished cooling capacity: Your heat pump may not be able to cool the air effectively, leading to reduced cooling performance.
• Higher energy bills: When a heat pump is not functioning efficiently, it may run for more extended periods of time, leading to higher energy bills.
• Hissing or bubbling noises: Low refrigerant levels can cause the refrigerant to boil and create hissing or bubbling noises in the outdoor unit.
• Frost on the outdoor unit: The outdoor coils can become too cold, and frost can form on the unit.
• Poor airflow: The airflow through the heat pump may become restricted, leading to reduced airflow and a decrease in performance.

Do these signs look familiar to you? If the answer is yes, then we recommend reaching out to the team at Boonstra Heating and Air Conditioning to schedule a repair appointment with one of our technicians today!

What are the indicators of an overcharged heat pump?

There are several signs that may indicate that a heat pump has too much refrigerant or is overcharged:

• Reduced cooling capacity: If the refrigerant level is too high, it can lead to reduced cooling performance.
• Poor airflow: An overcharged heat pump may have restricted airflow, leading to reduced performance.
• High-pressure readings: High refrigerant levels can cause high-pressure readings in the refrigerant system, which can be indicated by a high-pressure gauge on the outdoor unit.
• Reduced energy efficiency: An overcharged heat pump may run less efficiently, leading to higher energy bills.
• Shorter system lifespan: Overcharging the refrigerant can cause excessive wear and tear on the heat pump components, potentially reducing the lifespan of the system.

Can I refuel my heat pump on my own?

No, we do not advise that homeowners attempt to refuel their heat pumps by themselves. As there are risks for mistakes and potential fires, you can put yourself and your home in harm’s way leading to severe injuries and damages. Therefore, if you are having any difficulties with your home’s heat pump, we recommend reaching out to the professional HVAC technician team at Boonstra Heating and Air Conditioning in Guelph, Ontario, for assistance!

When the heat is on, why does my heat pump blast chilly air?

Whenever a heat pump starts blowing cool air while it is supposed to be heating, it is most likely in defrost configuration. Heat pumps employ coolant to transfer heat from your home’s exterior unit to the one that is installed indoors, which can lead to the outdoor coils freezing in severely cold weather. As such, to avoid this, your heat pump will occasionally begin a defrost mode to dissolve any ice formation, which may lead to cool air being blown indoors. This is a standard heat pump feature which should only last a couple of minutes. However, if the cool air persists for an extended period of time, it may indicate an issue with the defrost control, which will need to be repaired by a certified and experienced HVAC technician.
