If your heat pump isn’t cooling as expected, don’t panic—the solution might be simpler than you think! Before reaching out for professional assistance, follow these troubleshooting steps to see if you can resolve the issue on your own.
Step 1: Check the Thermostat Settings
- Make sure the system switch is set to COOL or AUTO.
- Ensure the temperature is set below the current room temperature.
- Set the fan to ON for continuous airflow or AUTO if you want the blower to operate only when cooling.
Step 2: Lower the Thermostat
- Set the thermostat to its lowest temperature and see if the heat pump turns on.
Step 3: Inspect the Air Filter
- If airflow seems weak, check the air filter. A dirty filter can restrict airflow, so replace it if necessary.
Step 4: Ensure All Vents Are Open
- Make sure all air vents (registers) are open and not blocked by furniture or other objects.
Step 5: Check the Power Switches
- Confirm that the power disconnect switches near both the indoor and outdoor units are turned on.
Step 6: Inspect the Circuit Breaker
- Check the fuse or breaker at the electrical panel for both indoor and outdoor units to ensure nothing has tripped.
