Check your heat pumps, as several major brands have recalled certain heat pump models in Canada because they can switch from air conditioning to heating mode following a power interruption.
The recall affects Daikin, Amana and Goodman brands.
There have been no reports of injury from the models that are being recalled either in Canada or in the United States.
However, Health Canada is concerned that in some circumstances, homes could become dangerously overheated and potentially cause harm to people.
A corrective update is available for the heat pumps. Any unit that has not received the update should be turned off unless there is an immediate need for air conditioning, Health Canada said in the recall notice.
More than 5,500 of the units were sold in Canada between May 2022 and April 2024. The notice also includes a list of models included in the recall which is linked on the text version of our newscast on 941thebreeze.com. https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-recall/daikin-amana-and-goodman-branded-heat-pumps-recalled-due-risk-excessive-heat-exposure
