Heat Pump Repair in Washington, PA
Plumsteadville HVAC Pros covers Washington for heat pump repair, 89 miles from the original Plumsteadville shop and a good deal closer than that in practice.
If your Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington
south-central Pennsylvania sits on a fuel boundary. Around Washington 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 Dauphin County often run oversized equipment installed when the building was far draughtier than it is now, which causes short cycling and uneven heat.
Modern cold-climate heat pumps hold useful capacity well below freezing. If yours is struggling in Washington, 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 Washington work has grown by recommendation.
Washington sits in Dauphin County, and we cover all of it: the built-up streets near Upper Dauphin Area High School and the outlying properties on unmarked lanes alike.

Heat Pump Repair in Washington — questions
Do you cover Washington for heat pump repair?
Yes. Washington in Dauphin County is inside our service area and the 17023 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.
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.
Do heat pumps work through a Dauphin 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.
