There are plenty of heating and cooling options on the market today, so how do you know what to choose? It’s all about the benefits! Matching your needs to the right system is the key to perfect comfort. Heat pump systems are known for these:

• Superior efficiency ratings. Heat pumps hit efficiency ratings that are far and away higher than standard central AC systems, beaten only by geothermal heat pump systems. That means more heating and cooling that will cost you much less!
• Heating and cooling in one. Heat pumps offer excellent heating and cooling both, and operate remarkably well in our California climates.
• Excellent heating and cooling “evenness.” Heat pumps never leave you dealing with unwanted spots of uneven cooling or heating, or areas of the home that don’t get enough “coverage.”
• Smart investment. Heat pumps are typically much longer-lived than their HVAC counterparts, often lasting well over 15 years—even more if you schedule routine maintenance.
• Green, environmentally-friendly HVAC options. By utilizing less energy, and not relying on additional fuels, heat pumps provide distinct advantages in lowering your carbon footprint.

You may need to consider heat pump repair in Sacramento if you notice the following:

• Overfrequency. If your heat pump is cycling on and off too often, or much more often than usual, it may need repairs.
• Unchanged temperature. If your heat pump doesn’t respond to dramatic changes in temperature, it’s a good indication of a larger issue.
• Weak heating and cooling. If your pump seems to be having trouble dealing with its workload, it may lack the appropriate amount of refrigerant.
• Heavy noise. You can expect some small measure of sound to be normal in the operation of the pump. But, if the sound is louder than normal, or the pump is making a noise you’ve never heard before, call Clarke & Rush.
• Spikes in utility costs. This could be any number of issues, some that have nothing to do with your heat pump at all! However, if you’re experiencing higher than usual heating and cooling costs, your unit may lack efficiency due to age.

• Keep up with your filter. The hands-down simplest and (arguably) most important aspect of maintaining your HVAC system is to keep up with filters. Both your heat pump, and the air quality of your home depend on a clean, unobstructed filter. A filter that is old, damaged or dirty drastically impacts the effectiveness of your heat pump. Filters vary in size and MERV Rating, so be sure to know exactly what you need, and how often it needs cleaning/replacing. When applicable, strive to get a high-efficiency cleanable filter, if your unit supports one. These save tons of money and stress, and ensure good, solid work from your heat pump.
• Keep an eye on your drain. The condensate drain plays an integral role in removing the humidity your heat pump collects from the machine. If this drain becomes clogged or damaged, it can spell a drop in efficiency at best, and a complete breakdown at worst. The condensate drain should be checked at least at the beginning of each season, to ensure clear and clean flow.
• Check your ducts. Dirty, dusty and clogged ductwork can choke your  heat pump, drastically reducing efficiency. On top of this, dirty ducts also contribute to a poor air quality, and can be a huge contributor to higher allergy issues and funky, musty home smells. Ductwork cleaning is no small task, but it pays big in the long run.
• Lubricate moving parts. Mechanical parts in your heat pump rely on specific amounts of friction to work properly. If they become too stressed, it can spell a huge repair bill and potential disaster. Belts, motors and components (non-electrical) should be lubricated appropriate yearly.
