Heat Pump Repair in Paxtang, PA
Plumsteadville HVAC Pros covers Paxtang for heat pump repair, 90 miles from the original Plumsteadville shop and a good deal closer than that in practice.
A heat pump works all winter in Paxtang, which means its outdoor unit has to stay clear of snow and meltwater in a way an air conditioner never does. A good share of our winter calls here start there.
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.
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 Paxtang
Heating in Paxtang tends to split between gas furnaces in newer housing and hydronic systems in the older stock. Dauphin 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
If the honest answer is that the repair is not worth doing, we say so, including when a replacement would pay us considerably better. That is how the Paxtang work has grown by recommendation.

Heat Pump Repair in Paxtang — questions
Do you cover Paxtang for heat pump repair?
Yes. Paxtang in Dauphin County is inside our service area and the 17111 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.
Why does my heat pump blow cool-feeling air?
Because it delivers a larger volume of mildly warm air rather than hot blasts. Around body temperature at the register is normal and the house will still reach temperature.
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.
