Heat Pump Repair in Upper Darby, PA
Heat Pump Repair for Upper Darby properties, on call around the clock. Call (215) 484-0300 and describe what the system is doing.
Heat pumps are going into Upper Darby properties in real numbers now, and they generate more worried phone calls per unit than anything else we service — mostly because normal cold-weather behaviour looks like a fault to anyone used to a furnace.
Round-the-clock availability is standard marketing in this trade and usually means a message taken until morning. In Upper Darby it means somebody answers and somebody comes.
The usual suspects
A unit encased in ice means defrost is not working. Cooling fine but not heating points squarely at the reversing valve. Auxiliary heat on a mild day means the heat pump is not pulling its weight, and charge is the first thing to check.
Heating and cooling around Upper Darby
Natural gas covers most of south-eastern Pennsylvania, and in Delaware County that means gas furnaces and gas-fired boilers make up the bulk of what we service. The older housing here still holds a remarkable number of hot water and steam systems feeding cast iron radiators — systems worth maintaining rather than tearing out.
Heat pumps are arriving quickly in newer Upper Darby construction, and dual-fuel setups pairing a heat pump with a gas furnace suit this climate well.
Refrigerant is not consumed. If a Upper Darby system is low, it is leaking, and topping it up without finding the leak means paying for the same repair next season.

Heat Pump Repair in Upper Darby — questions
Do you cover Upper Darby for heat pump repair?
Yes. Upper Darby in Delaware County is inside our service area and the 19026 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.
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.
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.
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.
