Heat pump issue?
Filed Under HVAC
DanGolfer asked:
Last night my wife heard a pop sound come from our heat pump. She throught she heard water running. When I went outside to check I could hear air like a deflating tire that went on for about 7 minutes. We thought the heat pump had gone and made arrangements to sleep elsewhere. We put the thermostat on auxillary heat and we stayed warm all night. My unit is a Payne about 10 years old. Any ideas what happened?

heat pumps have relays and the like to make them work. If the unit has not been service recently, consider having it done. They just have to be checked out by a certified technician to insure they are working properly and to try to prevent a failure when they are needed most
if you heard a pop could be your capacitor if you heard a pop and a loud hiss you blew a pin on your comp call a tech
