Heat Pump Repair in Upper Merion, PA
We handle heat pump repair throughout Upper Merion and the surrounding 19406 area, every day of the year including holidays.
If your Upper Merion 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.
We are 24 miles from Upper Merion at the original shop, but that is not where your technician comes from — teams work out of every part of the state so the response is local.
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 Upper Merion
Around Upper Merion the fuel is usually natural gas, though propane turns up wherever the main stops short. What makes Montgomery County distinctive is the age of the buildings: stone farmhouses and pre-war homes that were designed around radiators and later had ductwork threaded through them.
Those retrofits are behind a lot of the comfort complaints we are called about — rooms that never settle, and a system blamed for duct problems.
Modern cold-climate heat pumps hold useful capacity well below freezing. If yours is struggling in Upper Merion, rule out a fault before concluding the technology is at fault — low charge looks exactly like an undersized system.
What happens when you call
You get the diagnostic charge before anyone is dispatched to Upper Merion, and the repair price before any work begins. No invoice should ever be a surprise.

Heat Pump Repair in Upper Merion — questions
Do you cover Upper Merion for heat pump repair?
Yes. Upper Merion in Montgomery County is inside our service area and the 19406 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.
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.
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.
Do heat pumps work through a Montgomery 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.
