Heat Pump Repair in Fountain Hill, PA
Heat Pump Repair for Fountain Hill properties, on call around the clock. Call (215) 484-0300 and describe what the system is doing.
If your Fountain Hill 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 Fountain Hill
Around Fountain Hill 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.
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.
What happens when you call
If the honest answer is that the repair is not worth doing, we say so, including when a replacement would pay us considerably better. That is how the Fountain Hill work has grown by recommendation.
We work the full 18015 area for Heat Pump Repair, and the surrounding towns from the same base, so a call from the edge of Fountain Hill is no harder than one from the middle.

Heat Pump Repair in Fountain Hill — questions
Do you cover Fountain Hill for heat pump repair?
Yes. Fountain Hill in Lehigh County is inside our service area and the 18015 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.
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.
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.
