Heat pumps are going into Lancaster properties in real numbers now, and they generate more worried phone calls per unit than anything else we service — mostly because normal cold-weather behaviour looks like a fault to anyone used to a furnace.

Emergency work in Lancaster 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 Lancaster

Around Lancaster 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 Lancaster electricity bill that has jumped is usually the first evidence of a fault nobody has noticed.

What happens when you call

If the honest answer is that the repair is not worth doing, we say so, including when a replacement would pay us considerably better. That is how the Lancaster work has grown by recommendation.

Lancaster sits in Lancaster County, and we cover all of it: the built-up streets near Bausman Farmstead and the outlying properties on unmarked lanes alike.

Heat Pump Repair in Lancaster — questions

Do heat pumps work through a Lancaster 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.

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.

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.
