When to Replace This Essential Water Heater Component

June 5th, 2023

For the majority of homeowners in our area, tank water heating systems are the tried and true method of heating water. It’s been this way for a very long time, since tankless (or “on-demand”) water heaters have only been around for a few decades. Since the old days, people would heat up a pot or tank of water and use that throughout the day.

Newer tank water heaters are more energy efficient and powerful. Sometimes, it can be easy to forget that it’s working in the first place. This is ultimately a good thing, because they let us focus on the important parts of life. But there’s one component of your tank water heater that shouldn’t be forgotten about.

The Benefits of Going “Tankless”

3 Unique Heat Pump Problems: And Our Solutions!

February 13th, 2023
heat-pumps-outside-home

Have any of our local heat pump owners felt a little left out?

Heat pumps tend to get overshadowed pretty often by furnaces and boilers in the wintertime, primarily because the sole purpose of these systems is to provide powerful heating for your home.

What are common heat pump problems that require repair and how are they fixed?

  • No power / system completely shut down
     The issue may be a mis-set thermostat, blown fuse or breaker, or electrical fault in the unit. A technician can test wiring, replace failed components, and restore power.
  • Heat pump runs continuously (never shuts off)
     This often happens in very cold weather, or when the unit is undersized for the home. A repair specialist can assess capacity mismatch or system inefficiencies.
  • Unit can’t meet thermostat demand
    Causes include blocked vents, clogged air filters, or refrigerant leaks. Solutions involve clearing airflow paths, cleaning or replacing filters, or repairing refrigerant lines under pressure diagnostics.

With heat pumps, they’re a multifaceted system with both heating and cooling options, so they tend to make up fewer calls from troubled homeowners, but they’re still important.

If you’re a heat pump owner in our neck of the woods, then you’re in luck! Heat pumps are popular here due to their incredible efficiency and eco-friendly nature.

However, they can still run into problems in the coldest months of the winter, so you’d better be ready to get them properly diagnosed.

Let’s figure out if you need heating repair in Colorado Springs, CO, or if you’re in good shape for the next few months.
