As the scorching summer sun beats down on San Diego, your heat pump becomes your shield, ensuring a cool and comfortable home sanctuary. However, as the years go by, even the most reliable heat pumps can develop issues. Today, we delve into the subtle yet crucial signs that your heat pump might be leaking refrigerant.
Abnormal Freezing:
While a thin layer of frost on your heat pump is normal, large ice chunks are not a good sign. A common indicator of refrigerant leakage is excessive ice buildup on your heat pump. When refrigerant levels drop, the system's pressure decreases, leading certain components to become colder than they should be. Keep an eye out for extra condensation and ice formation – a red flag you shouldn't ignore.
Higher Electricity Bills:
Have you noticed an unwelcome spike in your electricity bills? A heat pump low on refrigerant strains to cool your home efficiently. The additional burden placed on the system drives up energy consumption, adding to your bills. If you sense this anomaly alongside unusual ice buildup, it's time to seek professional assistance.
Audible Hissing or Bubbling:
Refrigerant, being a gas, is prone to leaking through minuscule openings within the ducts or the system itself. This leakage manifests as a distinct hissing or bubbling sound. Although these leaking points may be too tiny to spot visually, our expert technicians possess the tools and skills needed to pinpoint and address leaks efficiently.
