If your Lewistown 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.

Lewistown is covered overnight and through holidays. The crew dispatched is the nearest one working Mifflin County, not whoever is free back in Plumsteadville.

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 Lewistown

Heating in Lewistown tends to split between gas furnaces in newer housing and hydronic systems in the older stock. Mifflin County has a good deal of nineteenth-century building still in daily use, and much of it is heated by boilers that reward proper servicing.

Propane is common enough here that tank level and regulator faults are worth ruling out before anything else on a no-heat call.

A heat pump leaning on resistance backup costs real money every day it does it. A Lewistown 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 Lewistown, and the repair price before any work begins. No invoice should ever be a surprise.

Our Heat Pump Repair coverage takes in the whole 17044 area, from the streets around Lewistown Area High School out to the addresses satellite navigation struggles with. Describing a nearby landmark is often faster than an address.

Heat Pump Repair in Lewistown — questions

Do you cover Lewistown for heat pump repair?

Yes. Lewistown in Mifflin County is inside our service area and the 17044 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.

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.

Do heat pumps work through a Mifflin 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.

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.
