Heat Pump Repair in New Cumberland, PA
Plumsteadville HVAC Pros covers New Cumberland for heat pump repair, 92 miles from the original Plumsteadville shop and a good deal closer than that in practice.
Heat pumps are going into New Cumberland 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.
Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour and a person answers. No menu, no answering service, and no callback queue for a New Cumberland house with no heat.
What we usually find
Defrost control boards and sensors, reversing valves that will not switch, failed outdoor fan motors, run capacitors, and refrigerant charge low enough that auxiliary heat is carrying the house.
Heating and cooling around New Cumberland
Heating in New Cumberland tends to split between gas furnaces in newer housing and hydronic systems in the older stock. Cumberland 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.
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
Every technician working New Cumberland under the Plumsteadville HVAC Pros name follows the same sequence Frank Reilly used on his own in 2014: find the fault, price it, agree it, fix it.

Heat Pump Repair in New Cumberland — questions
Do you cover New Cumberland for heat pump repair?
Yes. New Cumberland in Cumberland County is inside our service area and the 17070 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.
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.
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.
