Is your heat pump unit on but not heating or cooling your Reading, PA home? Your heat pump may have a leak in the refrigerant line, which carries the heat or cold back & forth from your home to the outside. If not addressed quickly & refrigerant levels get too low, your heat pump repair is at risk of becoming a costly replacement. Call the HVAC experts at Essig for a heat pump repair diagnostic today!
If so, your heat pump is experiencing short cycling & not completing a full heating or cooling cycle. This can lead to serious issues that will wear down the unit quickly & shorten the lifespan of your heat pump.

One very common issue with heat pumps is reduced efficiency caused by dirty air filters or blocked coils. These problems can lead to poor airflow, higher energy bills, and inadequate heating or cooling. Regular pump maintenance, such as cleaning filters and inspecting the system, will help avoid these issues. If you notice unusual noises, reduced airflow, or inconsistent temperatures, contact (610) 215-9512 to inspect and service your heat pump before the problem worsens!
The average heat pump lasts about 10 to 15 years with the proper maintenance. Factors such as frequency of use, Reading, PA weather conditions, and maintenance all play a key role in determining longevity. Scheduling regular tune-ups will help extend the lifespan of your heat pump and ensure it operates efficiently for years to come. If your pump is over a decade old and is in need of frequent repairs, it’s time to consider an upgrade!
While some basic upkeep like cleaning or replacing filters can be done by homeowners, comprehensive maintenance should always be left to Essig professionals.
