Common Heat Pump Repairs in Winter

Monday, January 15th, 2018

A heat pump system is a single system that provides both heating and cooling. It’s convenient, but it means you use it quite a bit. At any time of year, problems can come up with a heat pump. But homeowners in our area are often more surprised when issues come up in the winter.

We tend to use our air conditioners for longer than we use our heaters in this part of the country. But if you have a heat pump, it doesn’t matter which setting you use the most often—problems are bound to come up at some point. Cold weather can take a toll on the heat pump, but so can general wear and tear! Here are some of the most common problems we come across.

A Heat Pump Owner’s Guide: What You Should Know

Monday, November 28th, 2016

We strongly recommend heat pumps to homeowners looking for a new whole-house comfort system to keep them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It’s actually an air conditioner with the ability to heat, which is why it’s perfect for a climate like ours. And it operates very efficiently due to the heat exchange process that transfers heat from one place to another.

But because these systems are still not as popular as other types of heating and cooling systems, you may feel unsure of how to keep your heat pump running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Here are our recommendations for maintaining your heat pump throughout the year.

However, in an area like ours, it might seem almost unnecessary to have a heating and cooling system that are separate from one another, especially there is an efficient option available that is both a heater and an air conditioner: the heat pump.

Heat pumps are becoming more and more popular across the country, yet few homeowners are aware of the process that allows a single machine to heat and cool your home.
