Avoid Mid-Winter Breakdowns

Imagine it’s the middle of a freezing Greeley winter. Snow covers the ground, and your heat pump suddenly stops working. Your home grows colder by the minute, and you’re scrambling for emergency repairs. This situation happens far too often to homeowners who skip seasonal maintenance.

At Affordable Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., we’ve proudly served Northern Colorado since 1992. Our certified HVAC professionals provide thorough, preventative heat pump tune-ups that keep your system running efficiently, reliably, and safely.

Don’t wait for a breakdown—call our team to schedule your seasonal tune-up today.

Key Warning Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Service

Weak or No Airflow

Restricted airflow is often caused by clogged filters or blocked vents, which can quickly lead to decreased comfort and energy efficiency. If the airflow feels weak or inconsistent, begin by replacing or cleaning your filters. For more complex issues, a licensed technician should inspect your ductwork and overall system.

Book a service with our team today.

Short Cycling

If your heat pump keeps turning on and off in short bursts, it may be facing thermostat malfunctions or refrigerant level problems. This frequent cycling adds unnecessary stress to your system and can shorten its lifespan significantly.

Call us now to schedule an inspection.

Rising Energy Bills

An unexplained increase in your energy bills might be a red flag that your heat pump isn’t operating efficiently. Neglected maintenance or aging components can reduce performance, but a seasonal tune-up can restore efficiency and help lower costs.

Ice on the Outdoor Unit

Ice buildup on your outdoor unit is a sign that your defrost cycle may not be working correctly or that the coils are dirty. Running the system in this condition can cause internal damage. Turn the unit off and contact a technician right away.

Schedule an inspection as soon as possible.

Unusual Smells

Strange odors coming from your heat pump should never be ignored. Musty smells may indicate mold or mildew growth, while burning odors could signal electrical issues. In either case, shut off your unit and have it professionally inspected for safety.
