A technician working on an opened heat pump outdoor unit with the fan exposed, at a rural Pennsylvania property.

Defrost cycles, long run times and air that feels cool at the register are all normal. Ice encasing the outdoor unit and auxiliary heat running on a mild day are not. We sort out which is which for Amity homeowners.

Amity is covered overnight and through holidays. The crew dispatched is the nearest one working Berks County, not whoever is free back in Plumsteadville.

What goes wrong

Thermostat configuration is a quiet and expensive fault. A thermostat replaced without setting up heat pump staging will run resistance heat far more than it needs to, and nothing about the system looks broken.

Heating and cooling around Amity

Natural gas covers most of south-eastern Pennsylvania, and in Berks County that means gas furnaces and gas-fired boilers make up the bulk of what we service. The older housing here still holds a remarkable number of hot water and steam systems feeding cast iron radiators — systems worth maintaining rather than tearing out.

Heat pumps are arriving quickly in newer Amity construction, and dual-fuel setups pairing a heat pump with a gas furnace suit this climate well.

A heat pump leaning on resistance backup costs real money every day it does it. A Amity electricity bill that has jumped is usually the first evidence of a fault nobody has noticed.

What happens when you call

We show you what we found. That matters most when the answer is bad news — a condemned system should come with evidence, not just an assertion.

Heat Pump Repair in Amity — questions

Do you cover Amity for heat pump repair?

Yes. Amity in Berks County is inside our service area and the 19518 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.

Is ice on the outdoor unit normal?

Light frost between defrost cycles is. A solid shell of ice over the coil or fan is not — switch to emergency heat and call rather than chipping at it, which damages the coil.

My electricity bill doubled this winter. Is that the heat pump?

Very likely, and it usually means resistance backup is doing work the heat pump should be doing. Low charge, a failed outdoor fan, a stuck reversing valve or a misconfigured thermostat all produce that bill.

Why does my heat pump blow cool-feeling air?

Because it delivers a larger volume of mildly warm air rather than hot blasts. Around body temperature at the register is normal and the house will still reach temperature.

What is the difference between auxiliary and emergency heat?

Auxiliary assists the heat pump automatically. Emergency switches the heat pump off entirely and runs only the backup — expensive, and a stopgap rather than a setting to leave on.
