Think of a heat pump as an air conditioner that can work in both directions. 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 Henderson, NV 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
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Watch for these telltale signs:
- The old system needs refrigerant top-offs or major repairs to limp on
- You are electrifying the house or pairing major loads with solar
- Your utility company is offering incentives for heat pumps
- You are tired of temperature swings and want steady, even comfort
- You would like a single system for heating and cooling with one maintenance plan
- Both your air conditioner and furnace are getting old, and one replacement beats two
- Uneven temperatures year-round with the equipment you have now
- High heating bills from electric baseboard, propane, or oil
Don't Wait for a Total Failure
Most HVAC failures start small, a weak capacitor, a squealing blower, a system that runs a little longer each week. Don't wait, call (725) 567-4132 and we'll take a look right away.
