A heat pump works all winter in Franconia, 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.

Emergency work in Franconia 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.

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 Franconia

Around Franconia the fuel is usually natural gas, though propane turns up wherever the main stops short. What makes Montgomery 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

The technician confirms the fault before quoting it, gives you the price, and starts only once you agree. If something else turns up mid-repair, we stop and ask rather than adding it to the invoice.

Franconia sits in Montgomery County, and we cover all of it: the built-up streets near Franconia Community Park and the outlying properties on unmarked lanes alike.

Heat Pump Repair in Franconia — questions

Do you cover Franconia for heat pump repair?

Yes. Franconia in Montgomery County is inside our service area and the 18969 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.

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.

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.

Do heat pumps work through a Montgomery 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.
