Heat pump repair is a unique challenge. The dual-function system paired with Alberta’s temperamental climate can make optimizing your home comfort system more difficult to maneuver. That’s why you need repair technicians that are not only experienced, but specialize in heat pump repair and service, and know exactly what it takes to get each component working together flawlessly.
In this blog, we’ll go over what to look for when choosing the best heat pump repair company in Alberta, red flags to avoid and why Action Furnace should always be your first call.
Key Considerations When Choosing A Heat Pump Repair Company
HVAC companies are a dime a dozen in Alberta, so how do you know which one you can count on?
Certification & Training
Look for technicians that are specifically trained in the intricacies of heat pump technology and parts. While a heat pump operates as a two in one solution for heating and cooling, it’s not quite the same as an air conditioner or a furnace.
It’s also important to have a technician who is well versed in the different types of heat pumps. For example, in Alberta air-source, ground-source and cold-climate heat pumps all require unique installation and service tasks and have different components.
Here are the most common heat pump issues we’ve come across, no matter the type of equipment:
- Inconsistent heating and/or cooling
- Ever increasing utility bills
- Turning on and off repeatedly, also known as cycling
- Condensation or ice build-up on crucial components
Having a technician who understands the local climate is important as well. A local Calgary, Red Deer or Edmonton based company will employ local technicians who have years of experience dealing with our finicky summer weather and frigid winter temperatures.
Warranty on Parts & Labour
Having a comprehensive warranty on equipment and workmanship can go a long way to ensure peace of mind. Look for companies who stand behind their work, and who work with manufacturers that have reliable equipment.
Red Flags to Avoid
Here are some of the biggest red flags to be aware of when choosing a heat pump repair service provider.
Avoid companies that immediately push for a replacement without proper diagnosis, and companies that aren’t transparent. Ensure they provide pricing, timelines and recommendations either in person or in writing.
