Heat Pump Repair in Imperial, PA
Heat Pump Repair in Imperial, Allegheny County, at any hour. The 15126 area is worked by the nearest crew rather than dispatched from across the state.
If your Imperial 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.
Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour and a person answers. No menu, no answering service, and no callback queue for a Imperial house with no heat.
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 Imperial
Natural gas is abundant across south-western Pennsylvania, and Imperial is almost entirely gas-heated as a result. The housing stock around Allegheny County leans heavily on mid-century construction, so a large share of what we repair is forced-air furnaces of a similar vintage and layout.
River valley properties bring their own complication: damp basements, corroded flues and condensate lines that need more attention than they usually get.
A heat pump leaning on resistance backup costs real money every day it does it. A Imperial electricity bill that has jumped is usually the first evidence of a fault nobody has noticed.

Heat Pump Repair in Imperial — questions
Do you cover Imperial for heat pump repair?
Yes. Imperial in Allegheny County is inside our service area and the 15126 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.
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.
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.
