HVAC Services Topeka KS | Call Penry's Heating Refrig & Appliance

Given Topeka's variable seasons and potential for dust, we generally recommend checking your filter monthly and replacing standard 1-inch filters every 1-3 months. If you have pets, allergies, or run your system frequently, you may need to change it more often. A clean filter is crucial for preventing strain on your system, improving air quality, and avoiding higher energy bills.

The most common signs are your system struggling to switch between heating and cooling modes, blowing lukewarm air in either mode, or getting stuck in one setting. You might also hear a hissing noise. Since this valve is critical for a heat pump's operation, we recommend calling us for a professional diagnosis to confirm the issue and discuss repair or replacement options.
