Efficient Heating and Air Conditioning

In a mild climate, a heat pump system may be your best option for effective and efficient heat.

What is a heat pump?

A heat pump is simply an air conditioner that can switch to become a heating unit. When air conditioners process refrigerants such as Freon, they create a tremendous amount of heat. The heat pump simply reverses part of the process to extract and distribute that heat throughout your Bucks County, Montgomery County or Philadelphia, PA area home.

Heat pumps are generally very energy efficient for central heating in climates where the temperature is somewhat mild. However, if the outside temperature falls below 37°F, which it tends to do in Bucks County, Montgomery County and Philadelphia, PA, heat pumps need to run constantly to maintain warmth, which is why our heat pump repair company is here to provide assistance.

Heat Pump Ice Build Up

The coils within the heat pump's outdoor component may collect ice. To function properly, the heat pump has to melt this ice every once in a while so that it doesn't build up and damage the unit. To do this, the heat pump automatically switches back to air conditioner mode. But you won't feel it, because when the unit switches to AC mode, electric heating strips are activated within the unit to keep warm air flowing. Our heat pump repair contractors make sure that when the ice is melted, everything goes back to normal.
