  • What is a heat pump?

    A heat pump is an air conditioner that uses electricity to transfer heat from one place to another. It’s also called a “heat pump” because it transfers heat using a refrigerant (a gas) instead of water, as in conventional air conditioning systems.

  • How does a heat pump work?

    The heat pump works like a refrigerator. It has two parts: a compressor and an outdoor coil. The compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high-pressure liquid flowing through the outdoor coil.


    As the refrigerant passes through the coil, it absorbs heat from the outside air. When the refrigerant leaves the coil, it becomes cooler and returns to the compressor, where it begins the cycle again.

  • Why do I need a heat pump?

    You can use a heat pump to cool your home during hot weather. A heat pump will keep you comfortable even when temperatures are extremely high. You’ll save money on your energy bills too!

  • When should I call a professional about my heat pump?

    If you notice any unusual noises coming from your heat pump or if there is excessive noise coming from your unit, call our office immediately. We can help diagnose the problem and make sure everything is working before you have to replace anything.

    We offer free estimates for all repairs. Our technicians will come out to your home and give you an estimate based on how extensive the job needs to be.

  • What is a common problem with a heat pump?

    A broken indoor coil is one of the most common problems with heat pumps. Breaks happen when the indoor coil gets damaged due to a leak in the ductwork. Another common problem is a malfunctioning thermostat.

  • How do you diagnose a heat pump problem?

    Our technicians will check the entire system to see what may be causing the issue. They’ll look at the temperature gauge, the fan speed, the blower motor, and other components.

  • How do you know if your heat pump is bad?

    Several signs indicate your heat pump might be faulty. For example, if your heat pump doesn’t function correctly or you hear strange sounds coming from your system, it could mean something is wrong.

  • Can a heat pump compressor be repaired?

    Yes, we can repair a compressor. However, this type of repair usually requires a complete compressor replacement.

  • Do I need to worry about a heat pump warranty?

    Most manufacturers provide warranties on their products. These warranties protect against defects in materials and workmanship. If your heat pump stops working within the warranty period, contact us so we can get it fixed.

  • Is it possible to install a new heat pump myself?

    It depends on the size of your heat pump. If the heat pump is small enough to fit inside your house, you can handle the installation yourself.
