If your Shaler 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.

Emergency work in Shaler runs at any hour, every day of the year, including holidays. Call (215) 484-0300 and we will tell you honestly how soon we can be there.

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 Shaler

Natural gas is abundant across south-western Pennsylvania, and Shaler is almost entirely gas-heated as a result. The housing stock around Allegheny County leans heavily on mid-century construction, so a large share of what we repair is forced-air furnaces of a similar vintage and layout.

River valley properties bring their own complication: damp basements, corroded flues and condensate lines that need more attention than they usually get.

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

What happens when you call

Every technician working Shaler 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 Shaler — questions

Do you cover Shaler for heat pump repair?

Yes. Shaler in Allegheny County is inside our service area and the 15116 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.

Do heat pumps work through a Allegheny 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.

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.
