Heat Pump Repair in Breinigsville, PA
We handle heat pump repair throughout Breinigsville and the surrounding 18031 area, every day of the year including holidays.
If your Breinigsville electricity bill jumped this winter with no change in habits, the heat pump is probably leaning on resistance backup heat it should not need. That is diagnosable and usually fixable.
Describe the symptom rather than the part. Working out which component that points at is our job, and it is faster over the phone than you might expect.
The usual suspects
A unit encased in ice means defrost is not working. Cooling fine but not heating points squarely at the reversing valve. Auxiliary heat on a mild day means the heat pump is not pulling its weight, and charge is the first thing to check.
Heating and cooling around Breinigsville
Around Breinigsville the fuel is usually natural gas, though propane turns up wherever the main stops short. What makes Lehigh County distinctive is the age of the buildings: stone farmhouses and pre-war homes that were designed around radiators and later had ductwork threaded through them.
Those retrofits are behind a lot of the comfort complaints we are called about — rooms that never settle, and a system blamed for duct problems.
A heat pump leaning on resistance backup costs real money every day it does it. A Breinigsville electricity bill that has jumped is usually the first evidence of a fault nobody has noticed.

Heat Pump Repair in Breinigsville — questions
Do you cover Breinigsville for heat pump repair?

Do heat pumps work through a Lehigh County winter?
Modern cold-climate models do, with backup for the coldest stretches. Older single-stage units hand over to backup much sooner, which is where the reputation came from.
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.
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.
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.
