If you’re experiencing problems with your heat pump running endlessly in Aberdeen, NC, it could indicate an underlying issue. Understanding the common reasons for constant operation is crucial to troubleshooting and resolving the issue before it becomes a major problem. Here are some reasons why your heat pump may be running constantly and how to correct the problem.
Thermostat Issues
Your HVAC system will not shut off if you set your thermostat to “On” rather than “Auto,” even if it has already achieved the desired temperature. Set your thermostat to “Auto” to prevent this from happening.
Your thermostat might not be able to effectively gauge the temperature in your room if it is next to a drafty window, air vent or door. These locations can cause your HVAC system to run even when it is unnecessary. To address this, position your thermostat in a central spot away from drafts.
Power Supply Issues
Make sure that the circuit breaker is correctly sized and not overloaded and that the voltage supply matches the requirements of your heat pump. Faulty wiring, such as loose or frayed connections, can cause it to malfunction. It’s a good idea to have a professional electrician evaluate the wiring and take advantage of our electrical repair services.
Blocked Airflow
Obstructed air vents or registers can impede airflow throughout your home, causing your heat pump to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. Dirty coils can also restrict airflow and make your heat pump work overtime. Remember to change your air filters regularly and have your coils cleaned to maintain good indoor air quality.
