1. Heat Pump Repair & Service
Heat pumps are incredibly popular in Tacoma because they handle both heating and cooling. However, our moist climate can lead to specific issues:
- Defrost Cycle Failures: If your outdoor unit is encased in ice, your defrost board or sensor might be out.
- Refrigerant Leaks: Low refrigerant prevents the system from moving heat effectively into your home.
- Inverter Issues: Modern high-efficiency heat pumps use complex electronics that require a specialist to repair.
Pro Tip: If your heat pump is constantly running in "Emergency Heat" or "Auxiliary" mode, your energy bills will skyrocket. Call us for a diagnostic to get your system back to peak efficiency.
2. Furnace Repair: Gas & Electric
For those extra-chilly nights, many Tacoma homeowners rely on the powerful heat of a furnace. Common signs you need a furnace repair include:
- Strange Noises: Banging, whistling, or rattling often points to a failing blower motor or cracked heat exchanger.
- Yellow Pilot Light: On gas furnaces, the flame should always be blue. A yellow flame can indicate a carbon monoxide risk.
- Short Cycling: If your furnace turns on and off every few minutes, it may be overheating due to a clogged filter or a faulty limit switch.
3. Air Handlers: The Silent Workhorse
If you have a heat pump or a high-velocity system, you likely have an
air handler inside. This unit is responsible for circulating the conditioned air throughout your ducts. We frequently see issues with:
- Blower Motor Failure: If you hear the system hum but no air is coming from the vents, the motor may be seized.
- Clogged Condensate Lines: In our humid environment, algae can grow in the drain lines, causing water to back up and shut down your system.
