Replacing Central Air with Heat Pumps
Switching to a heat pump system offers numerous advantages over traditional central air units. Here are the key benefits:
Year-Round Comfort
Heat pumps provide consistent comfort all year round, keeping your home cool during the summer and warm during the winter.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Heat pumps can be up to 50% more energy-efficient than conventional HVAC systems because they transfer heat instead of generating it, leading to substantial energy savings.
Cost Savings
The efficiency of heat pumps can lead to lower energy bills. Additionally, their installation is typically less costly and less invasive than traditional ductwork.
Enhanced Air Quality
Heat pumps improve indoor air quality by filtering out dust, mold spores, odors, smoke, and other pollutants, ensuring cleaner and healthier air inside your home.
Better Airflow
By circulating fresh air from outside, heat pumps provide cleaner and quieter airflow compared to traditional HVAC systems.
Effective Dehumidification
Heat pumps help reduce humidity in your home, making the indoor environment more comfortable, especially in humid climates.
Environmentally Friendly
Unlike furnaces, heat pumps do not rely on burning fossil fuels, making them a greener option for heating and cooling your home.
Rebates and Incentives
Heat pumps with high thermal efficiency ratings may qualify for rebates and incentives, potentially offering up to $2,000 in credits per year.
Increased Property Value
The modern, efficient, and versatile nature of heat pump systems can boost your property’s appeal and value, making it more attractive to potential buyers.

Comprehensive Guide to Heat Pump AC Troubleshooting and Common Issues
Heat pumps are essential for maintaining a comfortable indoor climate, but like any system, they can encounter problems. Here’s a comprehensive guide combining troubleshooting tips and solutions for common heat pump issues.
Heat Pump Not Heating
Check the Thermostat:
Set the Temperature: Make sure the thermostat is adjusted to the appropriate temperature and set to the correct mode (heating).
Battery Power: Replace the batteries if the display is off or malfunctioning.
Clogged Air Filter:
Filter Condition: Replace dirty air filters to improve airflow. A clogged filter obstructs airflow, leading to inadequate heating.
Reversing Valve Issues:
Reversing Valve Function: A stuck or broken reversing valve can prevent heating mode. Hire Air Support Cooling and Heating, LLC to assess and replace it if necessary. The reversing valve switches the heat pump between heating and cooling modes.
Thermostat Problems:
Thermostat Settings: Ensure the thermostat is set to heating mode and the fan is on AUTO. If the thermostat is incorrectly calibrated or has poor electrical connections, it may not signal the heat pump to switch to heating mode. Check for calibration issues or faulty wiring.
Call us at (813) 245-4622 for Service.
Heat Pump Not Cooling
Check the Thermostat:
Set the Temperature: Ensure the thermostat is set to the correct temperature and mode (cooling).
Battery Power: Replace the batteries if the display is off or malfunctioning.
Wrong Thermostat Settings:
Thermostat Settings: Ensure the thermostat is set to cooling mode and the fan to AUTO.
Dirty Components:
Examine the Air Filter: A clogged or dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause the AC to malfunction. Clean or replace the filter if it’s dirty.
Clean Coils: Clean indoor and outdoor coils and replace clogged air filters. Dirty coils and filters can obstruct airflow and heat transfer, reducing cooling efficiency.
Low Refrigerant:
Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant levels reduce cooling efficiency. Call Air Support Cooling and Heating, LLC to repair leaks and recharge refrigerant. Refrigerant is crucial for heat transfer; low levels hinder the cooling process.
Call us at (813) 245-4622 for Service.
Heat Pump Running Constantly
Thermostat Settings:
Temperature Adjustment: Lower the thermostat setting several degrees to see if this triggers a cooling cycle.
Set the Thermostat Correctly: Adjust thermostat settings to appropriate temperatures (78°F in summer, 68-72°F in winter). Incorrect settings can cause the heat pump to run constantly.
Dirty Filters or Coils:
Examine the Air Filter: A clogged or dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause the AC to malfunction. Clean or replace the filter if it’s dirty.
Debris Removal: Make sure the outdoor unit is free from debris, such as leaves or dirt, that can obstruct airflow. Clean or replace dirty filters and coils. Obstructed airflow forces the system to work harder and run longer.
Refrigerant Leak:
Low Refrigerant Levels: Air Support Cooling and Heating, LLC should address low refrigerant levels. Low refrigerant causes the system to struggle in maintaining the set temperature.
Incorrect Sizing:
Proper Sizing: Ensure the heat pump is the correct size for your home. An improperly sized unit can lead to constant running cycles to meet temperature demands.
Call us at (813) 245-4622 for Service.
Heat Pump Freezing Up
Poor Airflow:
Debris Removal: Make sure the outdoor unit is free from debris, such as leaves or dirt, that can obstruct airflow.
Ventilation: Ensure the area around the unit is clear for proper ventilation.
Faulty Fan:
Fan Condition: Ensure the outdoor fan is working properly. A defective fan reduces airflow and leads to freezing.
Low Refrigerant Levels:
Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant can cause freezing. Call Air Support Cooling and Heating, LLC for service.
Dirty Coils:
Clean Coils: Clean coils to improve heat transfer. Dirty coils can lead to improper heat exchange and freezing.
Ice Detection:
Look for Ice Build-Up: Check the indoor unit and refrigerant lines for ice build-up. If you see ice, turn off the unit and let it thaw before restarting. Note that the outdoor unit may also develop ice build-up on the lines exiting the unit.
Call us at (813) 245-4622 for Service.
Heat Pump Short Cycling
Improper Sizing:
Proper Sizing: An incorrectly sized unit can cause short cycles. Consult Air Support Cooling and Heating, LLC for proper sizing. A heat pump that is too large or small will frequently turn on and off.
Dirty Filters:
Filter Condition: Replace clogged air filters to improve airflow. Restricted airflow causes overheating and short cycling.
Low Refrigerant:
Refrigerant Levels: Address refrigerant leaks with Air Support Cooling and Heating, LLC. Low refrigerant leads to inefficient operation and frequent cycling.
Thermostat Calibration:
Thermostat Calibration: Check and recalibrate the thermostat if necessary. Incorrect calibration can cause the heat pump to short cycle.
Call us at (813) 245-4622 for Service.
Heat Pump Leaking Water
Refrigerant Leak:
Refrigerant Levels: Air Support Cooling and Heating, LLC can address refrigerant leaks causing ice and water build-up. Low refrigerant can lead to icing and subsequent melting.
Condensate Drain Issues:
Drain Condition: Ensure the condensate drain is not clogged, as this can cause water damage and affect the unit’s performance. Replace cracked pans or unclog the drain line. Clogged or damaged drain lines cause water leakage.
Mold Growth:
Mold Issues: Address mold issues promptly to prevent health problems. Mold growth indicates prolonged moisture issues.
Call us at (813) 245-4622 for Service.
Heat Pump Doesn’t Switch Modes
Thermostat Problems:
Thermostat Settings: Ensure proper settings and check for wiring issues. Faulty wiring or incorrect settings can prevent mode switching.
Reversing Valve Issues:
Reversing Valve Function: Air Support Cooling and Heating, LLC can replace faulty reversing valves or check valves. The reversing valve controls the switching between heating and cooling modes.
Call us at (813) 245-4622 for Service.
Listen for Unusual Noises
Noise Inspection: Pay attention to any unusual noises from the indoor or outdoor unit, which could indicate a mechanical issue.
Check the Condensate Drain
Drain Condition: Ensure the condensate drain is not clogged, as this can cause water damage and affect the unit’s performance.
Reset the System
System Reset: Sometimes, resetting the air conditioner can resolve minor issues. Turn off the unit at the thermostat, wait a few minutes, and then turn it back on.
