Does Your Heat Pump Need a Filter Change?

Monday, November 21st, 2022

For many newcomers to this industry, we need to talk about air filters. Unless you’ve stumbled upon an article about heat pumps recently, or you grew up with your parents or friends showing you the air filter in their furnace, you might not even be aware that your heat pump has a filter to begin with. Don’t worry, we won’t shame anyone. Sometimes things aren’t exactly spelled out in an easy way for homeowners.

Well, let’s get started on the right foot by first talking about air filters–what they do, why they’re there, and why you should definitely replace yours if it’s been a while.

They’re problems that can make strange noises, they can impact your energy bills, and they can even lead your air conditioner to start pumping out lukewarm air. For the price of electricity these days, a malfunctioning air conditioner can make anyone’s blood boil, which is why we want to address one of the most common problems that occur in AC units.

Air conditioners rely on refrigerant in order to cool the space in your home. Without proper amounts of refrigerant, what we would call the “charge” of refrigerant, the system might not be able to adequately cool your home to the proper temperature. And, for customers with heat pumps, these systems can also suffer from refrigerant leaks since they use the same type of cooling, just in reverse to heat a home.

For everyone who is experiencing a refrigerant leak, you can call our team for AC repair in Walker, MI.
