A heat pump works all winter in Glenside, 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.

Round-the-clock availability is standard marketing in this trade and usually means a message taken until morning. In Glenside it means somebody answers and somebody comes.

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 Glenside

Natural gas covers most of south-eastern Pennsylvania, and in Montgomery County that means gas furnaces and gas-fired boilers make up the bulk of what we service. The older housing here still holds a remarkable number of hot water and steam systems feeding cast iron radiators — systems worth maintaining rather than tearing out.

Heat pumps are arriving quickly in newer Glenside construction, and dual-fuel setups pairing a heat pump with a gas furnace suit this climate well.

A heat pump leaning on resistance backup costs real money every day it does it. A Glenside electricity bill that has jumped is usually the first evidence of a fault nobody has noticed.

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.

Heat Pump Repair in Glenside — questions

Do you cover Glenside for heat pump repair?

Yes. Glenside in Montgomery County is inside our service area and the 19038 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.

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.

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.
