Heat Pump Repair in Thompson, PA
Plumsteadville HVAC Pros covers Thompson for heat pump repair, 104 miles from the original Plumsteadville shop and a good deal closer than that in practice.
If your Thompson 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.
Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour and a person answers. No menu, no answering service, and no callback queue for a Thompson 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 Thompson
Oil heat is still common across north-eastern Pennsylvania, and Thompson is no exception. Oil-fired furnaces and boilers need their own annual service — nozzle, electrodes, filter, pump pressure and draft — and they fail differently from gas equipment.
We carry oil parts as standard rather than treating them as a special order, alongside gas and propane components for the properties in Susquehanna County that have converted.
Modern cold-climate heat pumps hold useful capacity well below freezing. If yours is struggling in Thompson, rule out a fault before concluding the technology is at fault — low charge looks exactly like an undersized system.
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 Thompson work has grown by recommendation.

Heat Pump Repair in Thompson — questions
Do you cover Thompson for heat pump repair?
Yes. Thompson in Susquehanna County is inside our service area and the 18465 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 Susquehanna 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.
