If your Middlesex 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.

Describe the symptom rather than the part. Working out which component that points at is our job, and it is faster over the phone than you might expect.

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 Middlesex

south-central Pennsylvania sits on a fuel boundary. Around Middlesex natural gas serves the built-up areas while propane and oil cover the farms and the properties between them, so we stock for all three.

Agricultural buildings and farmhouses in Cumberland County often run oversized equipment installed when the building was far draughtier than it is now, which causes short cycling and uneven heat.

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

What happens when you call

Heat Pump Repair in Middlesex — questions

Do you cover Middlesex for heat pump repair?

Yes. Middlesex in Cumberland County is inside our service area and the 17015 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.

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.

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.

Do heat pumps work through a Cumberland 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.
