November is here and the cooler weather has arrived as well. As you get ready for the change in season, it\u2019s a good time to evaluate the performance of your heat pump in Brampton, ON. <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s an easy way to determine how well your heat pump did over the summer: give it a report card! Consider its performance over the summer, then give your heat pump an overall grade from \u201cA\u201d to \u201cF\u201d using the tips below. If it hasn\u2019t been the best student, schedule maintenance now to ensure it’s ready for the rest of fall and winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

My Heat Pump Is An \u201cA\u201d Student!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hooray! We\u2019re glad your heat pump gets a gold star for its performance. If it\u2019s still within its estimated service life, then you can expect another excellent and problem-free winter ahead. However, here\u2019s a word of caution: a heat pump that scores an \u201cA\u201d has undoubtedly received regular professional maintenance twice a year, which earns you<\/em> a gold star as well. Keep it up, because the fastest way to a failing grade is to skip this important service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Heat Pump Earns a Solid \u201cB\u201d Grade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not bad! You enjoyed dependable cooling over the summer and nothing major went wrong. That being said, a \u201cB\u201d certainly isn\u2019t an \u201cA,\u201d so what held you back from giving your heat pump the \u201cA\u201d grade? Perhaps you forgot to change the air filter regularly or maybe a breaker tripped once. It doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019s time to call us for repairs, but it pays to be vigilant in the coming months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Heat Pump Gets a \u201cC\u201d for Concerned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh no! If your heat pump is putting the \u201cc\u201d in \u201cconcerned,\u201d that means you know there\u2019s room for improvement. Some signs of an average grade could be that you needed a repair during the summer. Or perhaps your heat pump isn\u2019t cooling down your home as efficiently as it used to. You might be hearing some unusual noises, too. If you\u2019ve been foregoing routine maintenance, this ho-hum grade may be a wake-up call, or else that \u201cC\u201d grade will go down soon. We recommend scheduling a heat pump service to see if your system needs repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Heat Pump is Barely Passing With a \u201cD\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nobody wants a heat pump that is barely passing. Your heat pump hasn\u2019t been working right, and you\u2019ve seen the signs. Maybe it failed completely at some point over the summer and you needed a major repair. Or you felt like you were running it all the time to keep your home cool enough. Your heat pump definitely needs professional attention to see if a major repair or replacement is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Heat Pump Gets an \u201cF\u201d and I\u2019m Freezing!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A complete system failure deserves an \u201cF\u201d grade. If your heat pump failed to cool over the summer and isn\u2019t providing heat now, call us ASAP to schedule service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope this handy guide helps you make choices about your heat pump\u2019s future. If it\u2019s ready to be replaced, taking care of it before the holiday season is ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
