It’s typical for your heat pump to create some noise as it heats or cools your house. Wintertime can make it especially noisy, since it could go into defrost mode to prevent itself from frosting over.
There are several things you can do to make your heat pump heat and cool more quietly all year-round.
1. Schedule Regular Heat Pump Tune-Ups
Heat pump maintenance is extremely important, as it keeps your manufacturer warranty valid. This keeps your finances in tact if your heat pump develops a big issue during the time it’s under warranty.
It can also help our professionals discover tiny problems that can make your heat pump noisier. And likely help you not experience a costly repair during extreme weather that compromises your comfort.
If little heat pump issues continue to go undetected, they could make your system break down later. By fixing issues like this ahead of time, our technicians can get your heat pump repaired before you truly need to rely on it.
Even more crucial, having a specialist clean and lubricate your heat pump’s moving components may make it more efficient. This could help you save more on your energy bills.
Because your heat pump runs all year, we advise having this work done twice a year, before summer and before winter.
2. Regularly Put in a New Air Filter
Your home’s air remains fresh and clean due to your air filter. When the filter starts to be clogged, it can cause some problems, including short cycling. This makes your heat pump turn on and off more often, consume more energy and might wear it out more rapidly.
Here’s how frequently we advise changing your air filter:
- Flat filter: Once a month
- Pleated filter: Every three months
If you have allergies or pets, you may need to change the filter more regularly.

Here are several noises that mean something’s wrong with your heat pump, how to fix them and when you should get in touch with a professional.
Heat Pump Making High-Pitched Noise
If your heat pump is making sound that is creating a headache, including screeching or squealing, it’s often because of the motor. The bearings could be dirty, or the motor might be wearing out. Regardless, you need to have a specialist check it out.
Heat Pump Making Buzzing Sounds
Buzzing noises are frequently because of electrical pieces, which should be inspected by a certified HVAC technician.
Heat Pump Making Hissing Noise
If your heat pump is hissing, several spots could be the issue. You may have a crack in your air ducts in some area, which means conditioned air is escaping and your residence will be less comfortable as a consequence. A hissing sound might also mean your heat pump is experiencing a refrigerant leak, which is an emergency. Your system relies on refrigerant to transfer heat, and when there isn’t enough fluid, you could risk serious damage to your heat pump. Reach us at 863-216-2923 now for support.
