A heat pump is able to both heat and cool your home, but it’ll sometimes wind up only cooling it. Here are some heat pump issues that could cause your system to blow cold air into your Destin, FL, home while in heating mode.
The Condenser Coil Freezes
It very rarely gets below freezing in our town, but it’s still possible for the outdoor condenser coil to freeze. Generally, that happens when dirt or other debris collects on or around the outdoor coil, interfering with the heat transfer process. This can still happen when the outdoor temperature is above freezing.
The Heat Pump Is Leaking Refrigerant
The refrigerant inside your heat pump allows heat to transfer into and out of your home. If it leaks out, whatever remains won’t be able to transfer heat efficiently, which could result in your heat pump blowing cold air.
Something’s Wrong With the Reversing Valve
The reversing valve helps switch your heat pump between heating and cooling modes. Sometimes, it can break or get stuck, leading to one kind of air or the other coming out of your vents. In that instance, you’ll need a professional to repair your heat pump.
