There are three main types of heat pumps

• “Air-water.”
• “Air-to-air.”
• “Air-soil” (geothermal).

Air-to-water pumps may not function properly due to hydraulic problems. This type of heat pump has an internal water pump that keeps the water flowing.

Among the reasons for the failure of this component:

• Trivial wear and tear, for example, due to old age.
• Bearing destruction.

One of the causes of failure for heat pumps with an outdoor unit is unprofessional maintenance, in particular lack of cleaning. Do not forget about the service of heat pumps – the outdoor unit must be cleaned of poplar fluff, dirt and dust. Otherwise, the heat exchanger does not have time to release energy, overheats, and the compressor operates under heavy loads. All this can lead to loss of functionality of the entire system.

Common failure for all types of heat pumps

First of all, it is faulty electronics. Boards, sensors and other components may fail. Ruud Heat Pump Repair and Service consists of replacing them completely.

The compressor also often breaks down. The reasons may be the following:

• Voltage fluctuations. To prevent this situation, it is recommended to use a voltage stabilizer.

• The weak point of the compressor is the freon circuit. The freon line connects the outdoor and indoor units and transports liquid and gaseous freon. Under mechanical influence, the copper freon line depressurizes (it can break, fray, or burn out). The compressor stops, oil and gas come out of it, it physically cannot work because it loses the resources needed in the refrigeration process. This is one of the most expensive types of Ruud Heat Pump Repair.

• Mechanical causes of compressor failure are wear and tear, causing failure of capacitors. In the worst cases, Ruud Heat Pump Repair and Service consists of replacing the entire compressor with a control unit.

A geothermal heat pump does not have an outdoor unit – its heat exchanger (probe) is located in the ground. Problems with such equipment may arise due to unprofessional selection of a geothermal field that does not correspond to the heat loss of the building. High consumption for such a pump is not a breakdown, but a problem since it will work with a low COP (heat conversion coefficient). Therefore, the heating project for a private home should be immediately entrusted to the professionals of Ruud Heat Pump Repair.

Also, the geothermal heat pump is characterized by mechanical and electronic failures common to all types. For example, a malfunction of the motor, a fan that distributes warm and cold air, problems with bearings. In these cases, Ruud Heat Pump Repair and Service “ground-water” is no different from repair work for other types.

Types of heat pump maintenance work

One of the popular services that we can offer to clients is consulting.A consultation is useful if you already have a heat pump heating system installed in your home, but it is not working as well as you would like.

During the examination, we analyze engineering systems, find errors during design and installation, reasons for insufficient work, as well as possible breakdowns. We will help you organize an effective heating system in your apartment or house.

Ruud Heat Pump Repair can be grouped into two groups:

• Repair the heat pump directly. It is produced when engines, electronics, compressors, freon lines, etc. malfunction.
• Repair and service of the hydraulic system, i.e. maintenance of the heat pump piping system. Problems may arise with rubber seals, heating elements, taps, fittings, pumps for heated floors or fan coils, with the fan coils themselves, and so on.

Among the repair work, the most common ones in our practice are the replacement of the compressor, electronic boards and sensors.
