You may have noticed last spring and summer that you experienced issues with your HVAC unit. A specialist in air conditioning and heating repair in Egg Harbor Township NJ may have told you that it could be a result from snow and ice damage that occurred in the winter before it. Now that we're in the midst of fall and winter is encroaching, it's time to take preventative measures so that your units stay working properly all year round.
Snow and ice building up on the outside of an HVAC system does not necessarily mean you're in an emergency situation. In fact, heat pumps might develop ice on the outside on their own, because they operate by a refrigerant that absorbs the atmosphere's temperature. When there's too much ice built up on the unit, however, the unit will try to warm itself up first, and use backup heat to heat your home. This will cause the system to run sluggishly.
Make sure to have a professional come and check out your unit once every couple of months to ensure that everything is working properly and you don't end up uncomfortably hot or cold in your own home.
