Think of a heat pump as an air conditioner that can run in reverse. In summer it pulls heat out of your home; in winter a reversing valve flips the refrigerant flow, and the same compressor draws heat from the outdoor air and brings it inside. Because it moves heat instead of creating it, a heat pump can deliver two to three times more heat energy than the electricity it uses, which is a big reason homeowners in Kissimmee, FL are making the switch as older systems wear out. Today's cold-climate models, built around variable-speed inverter compressors, keep producing useful heat well below freezing, far beyond the heat pumps of twenty years ago.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for Heat Pump Installation
Catching these issues early helps you avoid costly problems. These are the signals our technicians see most often:
- Uneven temperatures year-round with the equipment you have now
- Your existing equipment needs refrigerant recharges or big repairs to keep running
- Solar on the roof, or plans for it, and a goal of going all-electric
- Your utility company is offering incentives for heat pumps
- You want one system, one outdoor unit, and one maintenance schedule
- You are tired of temperature swings and want steady, even comfort
- High heating bills from electric baseboard, propane, or oil
- An aging AC and furnace you would rather replace with a single system
Act Before It Gets Worse
Most HVAC failures start small, a weak capacitor, a squealing blower, a system that runs a little longer each week. At the first hint of a problem, call (689) 334-4800 for a fast inspection.
