If your heat pump isn’t blowing warm air or your air conditioner won’t cool the house, you’re not alone. In Bognor Regis homeowners face the same hiccups, from cold showers to noisy fans. Knowing the usual culprits saves you time, money, and a lot of frustration.
Most HVAC systems fail because of three simple reasons: lack of maintenance, clogged filters, and worn‑out parts. A dust‑filled filter forces the fan to work harder, which can overheat the motor. Over time, seals and coils start to rust or get blocked, and the system loses efficiency. For heat pumps, a frozen coil or low refrigerant level often means you’ll get a blast of cold air instead of heat.
Our own blog post “Heat Pump Not Blowing Warm Air? Troubleshooting & Common Fixes” explains exactly why a heat pump can go cold and how to check the thermostat, fan, and outdoor unit. Similarly, “Heat Pump Not Cooling? Causes, Troubleshooting, and Fixes” walks you through cleaning the condenser and resetting the system.
First step: turn off the power and inspect the filter. A clean filter can restore airflow in minutes. Next, look at the outdoor unit – clear away leaves, sand, or snow that might be blocking the fins. If you spot ice on the coil, gently melt it with a hair dryer on low while the system runs on fan‑only mode.
For electric ovens that refuse to heat, “Electric Oven Not Heating? Common Problems, Fixes, and Maintenance Tips” shows how to test the element with a multimeter. If the element is bad, swapping it out is straightforward – just follow the steps in “How to Replace an Oven Element Yourself”.
When the problem involves gas, refrigerant, or complex electrical work, stop the DIY attempt. Heat pumps that keep cycling off, water heaters that constantly reset (see “Common Reasons Why You Keep Resetting Your Water Heater”), or any boiler warning signs demand a qualified technician. Our team at Bognor Regis Appliance Repair Experts is Gas Safe certified and can diagnose the issue safely.
Regular upkeep makes a huge difference. Flushing the water heater once a year (read “How Often Should You Flush Your Water Heater?”) prevents sediment buildup that can cause strange noises and reduced efficiency. Scheduling a yearly boiler service (check “Boiler Service Cost Guide 2025”) catches early wear and avoids costly breakdowns.
Bottom line: start with the easy checks – filter, clear debris, reset the thermostat. If those steps don’t bring back comfort, it’s time to call the pros. We offer fast same‑day service for heat pumps, boilers, ovens, and more, so you won’t be left shivering or sweating.
