A technician working on an opened heat pump outdoor unit with the fan exposed, at a rural Pennsylvania property.

Defrost cycles, long run times and air that feels cool at the register are all normal. Ice encasing the outdoor unit and auxiliary heat running on a mild day are not. We sort out which is which for Wilson homeowners.

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.

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 Wilson

Around Wilson the fuel is usually natural gas, though propane turns up wherever the main stops short. What makes Northampton 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.

Ice left on an outdoor unit restricts airflow until the system cannot heat at all, and can damage the fan. Switch to emergency heat and call rather than chipping at it.

Heat Pump Repair in Wilson — questions

Do you cover Wilson for heat pump repair?

Yes. Wilson in Northampton County is inside our service area and the 18042 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.

Do heat pumps work through a Northampton 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.
