F. A. Q
Heat pumps operate differently than standard HVAC systems, which often leads to questions about their behavior and maintenance. We’ve compiled the most common inquiries from Bloomington residents to help you understand your system better.
A small amount of frost is normal, and your unit has a "defrost mode" to handle it. However, if the unit is encased in heavy ice, it may have a faulty defrost control or a refrigerant leak. If you see significant ice buildup, call for professional service immediately to avoid damaging the fan blades or compressor.
Since heat pumps run almost year-round for both heating and cooling, we recommend professional service twice a year, once in the spring before the cooling season and once in the fall before the heating season. This ensures the components aren't overworked by the constant demand.
Yes! When your heat pump enters its defrost cycle in the winter, it temporarily reverses its operation to melt ice off the outdoor coils. This can release a cloud of steam and make a slight "whooshing" sound. It is a normal part of the system's operation and nothing to worry about unless the steam is accompanied by a burning smell.
