Heat Pump Repair in Crafton, PA
We handle heat pump repair throughout Crafton and the surrounding 15205 area, every day of the year including holidays.
A heat pump works all winter in Crafton, which means its outdoor unit has to stay clear of snow and meltwater in a way an air conditioner never does. A good share of our winter calls here start there.
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.
Common faults around Crafton
Snow and meltwater are the local complication. An outdoor unit under a roofline that drips will refreeze into a block of ice, and chipping at it damages the coil fins and turns a control repair into a sealed-system repair.
Heating and cooling around Crafton
Natural gas is abundant across south-western Pennsylvania, and Crafton is almost entirely gas-heated as a result. The housing stock around Allegheny County leans heavily on mid-century construction, so a large share of what we repair is forced-air furnaces of a similar vintage and layout.
River valley properties bring their own complication: damp basements, corroded flues and condensate lines that need more attention than they usually get.
Ice left on an outdoor unit restricts airflow until the system cannot heat at all, and can damage the fan. Switch to emergency heat and call rather than chipping at it.

Heat Pump Repair in Crafton — questions
Do you cover Crafton for heat pump repair?
Yes. Crafton in Allegheny County is inside our service area and the 15205 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.
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.
Do heat pumps work through a Allegheny 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.
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.
