If your Thompsontown 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.

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.

Common faults around Thompsontown

Snow and meltwater are the local complication. An outdoor unit under a roofline that drips will refreeze into a block of ice, and chipping at it damages the coil fins and turns a control repair into a sealed-system repair.

Heating and cooling around Thompsontown

south-central Pennsylvania sits on a fuel boundary. Around Thompsontown 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 Juniata County often run oversized equipment installed when the building was far draughtier than it is now, which causes short cycling and uneven heat.

Refrigerant is not consumed. If a Thompsontown system is low, it is leaking, and topping it up without finding the leak means paying for the same repair next season.

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 Thompsontown work has grown by recommendation.

Our Heat Pump Repair coverage takes in the whole 17094 area, from the streets around State Game Lands Number 171 out to the addresses satellite navigation struggles with. Describing a nearby landmark is often faster than an address.

Heat Pump Repair in Thompsontown — questions

Do you cover Thompsontown for heat pump repair?

Yes. Thompsontown in Juniata County is inside our service area and the 17094 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.

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.

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.
