How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If you use your heat pump for heating and cooling, you should service it twice annually, in the fall and the spring.

What is the life span of a heat pump?

The average life span of a heat pump is 10-15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round to heat and cool your home, they don’t always last as long as a typical heating or cooling system. However, you can extend the life span by ensuring that your unit is routinely maintained by an HVAC professional.

What’s Causing the Blinking Red Light On Your Furnace?

Having a blinking red light on your furnace can be concerning. It is not always a sign of an emergency, but it can indicate that something is wrong with the system. Before you call a professional AC and water heater repair contractor for assistance, take some time to learn what can cause a blinking red light on your furnace so you can determine if it needs immediate action.

Dirty Air Filters

The first thing to check is the air filter. Too much dirt and debris buildup can restrict airflow and cause a blinking red light on your furnace. This is usually an easy fix, which is as simple as replacing the air filter with a new one.

Faulty Blower Motor or Fan Belt

If the air filter is not the cause of your blinking red light, it could be due to a faulty blower motor or fan belt. The blower motor and fan belt work together to circulate warm air throughout your home. If one of the components fails, the furnace may indicate this with a blinking red light.

Thermostat Settings

The thermostat settings could also be the cause of a blinking red light. Make sure that your thermostat is set to the correct temperature and that all settings are properly adjusted. If you cannot find any issues with your thermostat, it may be time to call a professional for help who can give you a fair AC repair cost.

Clogged Drain Line

Another potential cause of a blinking red light on your furnace is a clogged condensate drain line. This component helps remove excess moisture from the system, and when it becomes clogged, it can disrupt your furnace’s normal operation.

Overheating Components

If the furnace is running too hot, it can cause the system to overheat and trigger a blinking red light. This could be due to a lack of airflow or blocked ducts, so check your system thoroughly for potential blockages.

Malfunctioning Control Board or Relay Switch

If none of the above issues are causing the blinking red light, it could be due to a malfunctioning control board or relay switch. The control board helps regulate the operation of your furnace, and if it is not working properly, this can cause a blinking red light on your system.
