Heat Pump Repair in East Hempfield, PA
Heat Pump Repair in East Hempfield, Lancaster County, at any hour. The 17601 area is worked by the nearest crew rather than dispatched from across the state.

Emergency work in East Hempfield runs at any hour, every day of the year, including holidays. Call (215) 484-0300 and we will tell you honestly how soon we can be there.
Common faults around East Hempfield
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 East Hempfield
Around East Hempfield the fuel is usually natural gas, though propane turns up wherever the main stops short. What makes Lancaster 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.
Refrigerant is not consumed. If a East Hempfield system is low, it is leaking, and topping it up without finding the leak means paying for the same repair next season.

Heat Pump Repair in East Hempfield — questions
Do you cover East Hempfield for heat pump repair?
Yes. East Hempfield in Lancaster County is inside our service area and the 17601 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.
Do heat pumps work through a Lancaster 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.
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.
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.
