Heat Pump Repair in New Britain, PA
Heat Pump Repair for New Britain properties, on call around the clock. Call (215) 484-0300 and describe what the system is doing.
If your New Britain 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.
Round-the-clock availability is standard marketing in this trade and usually means a message taken until morning. In New Britain it means somebody answers and somebody comes.
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 New Britain
Around New Britain the fuel is usually natural gas, though propane turns up wherever the main stops short. What makes Bucks 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.
What happens when you call
You get the diagnostic charge before anyone is dispatched to New Britain, and the repair price before any work begins. No invoice should ever be a surprise.
We work the full 18914 area for Heat Pump Repair, and the surrounding towns from the same base, so a call from the edge of New Britain is no harder than one from the middle.

Heat Pump Repair in New Britain — questions
Do you cover New Britain for heat pump repair?
Yes. New Britain in Bucks County is inside our service area and the 18914 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.
Do heat pumps work through a Bucks 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.
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.
