Your home’s HVAC system works year-round to keep your home comfortable no matter what the weather is like outside. Now that winter is here and temperatures are cooler outside, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the issues your HVAC system is more likely to face in the winter so you can identify and address them more quickly.
One of the most common winter HVAC issues is uneven airflow, resulting in inconsistent heating around your home. It’s hard enough to deal with the cold outside, so no one wants to try to work around cold spots indoors. Oftentimes, uneven airflow is caused by issues with the air filters, most notably dirty filters. When your HVAC’s air filters are dirty, airflow is slowed down or spotty, leading to poor air circulation and heating.
Heat pump issues are another common HVAC problem that homeowners deal with in the winter. Heat pumps are often affected by cold weather conditions. For example, the heat pump’s coils can get blocked by snow or ice, causing your heat pump to malfunction or fail. If you’re having trouble with your heat pump, our technicians here at Hodge Heating & Air Conditioning of Lake Norman Inc. can help make sure it is repaired and ready to keep your home warm again.
