Heat pump works in two different modes such that it can work in the summer as an air conditioning unit. And when the weather turns cold, it can work as a heater. Usually, the heat pump is seen working more in the winter or the house owners make it work as a heater.

So when it is not heating your home in the cold season, then there could be several reasons behind it. Want to know what those reasons are? Well! Read the blog below as here the AC repair Boca Raton service has mentioned all those reasons.

It Is Not Right for Your Home

Sometimes what happens is the unit is not of the right size and it is delivering cool air rather than warm air. So the heating system is not of the right size for your home, or it is not correct. For this, you need to consult with the HVAC professionals to figure out which size of heating unit will be right for you. However, heat pump is not just ideal, but you need a HVAC system, which works better for your home.

Blocked Outdoor Unit

It is always a good idea to clear off snow from the outdoor unit in order to draw heat from the outdoor air. Because if snow builds up against the cabinet, the unit will not pull the heat at all. Besides this, if the moisture sets inside the cabinet, then corrosion will damage the unit completely.  

Reversing Valve is Broken

This valve is responsible for switching between the heating and cooling modes and the valve also controls which direction the refrigerant will move after leaving the compressor. So if the valve gets stuck, this will pause the switching work of the unit and hence you won’t be able to get heat from your unit. Most probably due to the broken reverse valve. Once you notice this issue, it is recommended to consult a professional.

Hope you have now got an idea of why your heat pump is not rendering heat in the winter. Even now if you are confused, then get your unit checked from a technician.
