How Summerville’s Climate Affects Heat Pumps
Your heat pump faces a demanding, year-round challenge in the Summerville and greater Charleston area. The long, humid summer forces the system to run constantly in air conditioning mode, working tirelessly to remove the tremendous moisture from the air. This process creates significant condensation that, without a clear drain line, can cause water damage and force the unit into a protective shutdown.
Then, unlike in colder climates where systems get an "off-season," our mild winters mean your heat pump continues to work as your primary heat source. This year-round operation leads to more accumulated run-time and faster wear on critical components like fans and compressors.
For homes in coastal communities like Mount Pleasant, this challenge is compounded by the corrosive effect of salt air on outdoor coils and components. These relentless local conditions make professional maintenance necessary for achieving a long, reliable lifespan from your equipment.
How to Avoid Heat Pump Repair
Preventing unexpected breakdowns is a team effort between a professional service provider and your diligent care.
An annual service plan is your system's best defense against failure. During this visit, a proficient technician can spot and resolve minor issues and correct them before they escalate into major problems. This service includes cleaning the coils, testing electrical components, checking refrigerant levels, and lubricating motors—all of which extend the life of your unit and keep it running efficiently.
You can support this professional care and play a vital role in your system's health with a few easy habits:
- Change your air filter. This is the most important task you can perform. A clogged filter starves the system of air, putting immense strain on its components, reducing efficiency, and increasing the potential for breakdowns. You should check it monthly and change it at least every three months.
- Keep the outdoor unit clear. Your outdoor unit needs to breathe. It’s essential to ensure at least two feet of clear space around it, free of leaves, grass clippings, and other debris that can obstruct airflow.
- Pay attention to warning signs. Trust your senses. If you notice new noises or a drop in performance, don't wait. Calling for a check-up early is always smarter and less stressful than needing an emergency service call later.
