Heat Pump Repair in Kempton, PA
Heat Pump Repair for Kempton properties, on call around the clock. Call (215) 484-0300 and describe what the system is doing.
If your Kempton 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 Kempton house with no heat.
What goes wrong
Thermostat configuration is a quiet and expensive fault. A thermostat replaced without setting up heat pump staging will run resistance heat far more than it needs to, and nothing about the system looks broken.
Heating and cooling around Kempton
Around Kempton the fuel is usually natural gas, though propane turns up wherever the main stops short. What makes Berks 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.

Heat Pump Repair in Kempton — questions
Do you cover Kempton for heat pump repair?
Yes. Kempton in Berks County is inside our service area and the 19529 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.
