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 Elizabethtown homeowners.

Emergency work in Elizabethtown 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.

What we usually find

Defrost control boards and sensors, reversing valves that will not switch, failed outdoor fan motors, run capacitors, and refrigerant charge low enough that auxiliary heat is carrying the house.

Heating and cooling around Elizabethtown

Around Elizabethtown 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 Elizabethtown system is low, it is leaking, and topping it up without finding the leak means paying for the same repair next season.

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.

Our Heat Pump Repair coverage takes in the whole 17022 area, from the streets around Elizabethtown College out to the addresses satellite navigation struggles with. Describing a nearby landmark is often faster than an address.

Heat Pump Repair in Elizabethtown — questions

Do you cover Elizabethtown for heat pump repair?

Yes. Elizabethtown in Lancaster County is inside our service area and the 17022 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.
