Heat Pump Repair in Palmdale, PA
Plumsteadville HVAC Pros covers Palmdale for heat pump repair, 78 miles from the original Plumsteadville shop and a good deal closer than that in practice.
Defrost cycles, long run times and air that feels cool at the register are all normal. Ice encasing the outdoor unit and auxiliary heat running on a mild day are not. We sort out which is which for Palmdale homeowners.
Palmdale is covered overnight and through holidays. The crew dispatched is the nearest one working Dauphin County, not whoever is free back in Plumsteadville.
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 Palmdale
south-central Pennsylvania sits on a fuel boundary. Around Palmdale 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 Dauphin County often run oversized equipment installed when the building was far draughtier than it is now, which causes short cycling and uneven heat.
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 Palmdale 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.
We work the full 17033 area for Heat Pump Repair, and the surrounding towns from the same base, so a call from the edge of Palmdale is no harder than one from the middle.

Heat Pump Repair in Palmdale — questions
Do you cover Palmdale for heat pump repair?
Yes. Palmdale in Dauphin County is inside our service area and the 17033 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 Dauphin 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.
