An average homeowner is not an HVAC expert. And there’s no need to be. Everyone specializes; no one is an expert at everything. But that means that when something goes wrong—say, for example, your heat pump isn’t working—you’ll need to call in someone who is qualified to repair it.
Or will you?
It would be a shame to wait for a technician if the problem was so simple that you could remedy it yourself. But, since you’re not an expert, how would you know?
Follow this handy checklist if you’re having heat pump problems. You just might discover that you don’t need a repair technician after all.
