If your Intercourse 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 Intercourse 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 Intercourse

Around Intercourse 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.

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

What happens when you call

You get the diagnostic charge before anyone is dispatched to Intercourse, and the repair price before any work begins. No invoice should ever be a surprise.

Heat Pump Repair in Intercourse — questions

Do you cover Intercourse for heat pump repair?

Yes. Intercourse in Lancaster County is inside our service area and the 17534 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.

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.
