Why Is My Heat Pump Running But Not Cooling Properly?

Your heat pump is likely running but not cooling because of airflow restrictions, a dirty coil, low refrigerant, or thermostat settings. In Jacksonville and Saint Johns homes, clogged filters and blocked outdoor units are common. Creeks offers repairs, duct modifications, and a semiannual maintenance plan that includes coil cleaning, drain clearing, electrical checks, and refrigerant pressure checks.

Quick checks:

  • Set thermostat to Cool and lower the setpoint.
  • Replace or clean the filter.
  • Clear debris from the outdoor unit.
  • Ensure supply and return vents are open.
