Heat Pump FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

A heat pump both cools in summer and heats in winter using a reversible refrigerant cycle. An air conditioning system only cools. Heat pumps are especially efficient in milder climates like ours, and they provide backup heating without relying on expensive electric resistance. Modern heat pumps like American Standard and Gree models now heat effectively even in cold snaps.

Heat pump pricing depends on system size (tonnage), brand, efficiency rating, and ductwork requirements. We provide upfront quotes with no surprises. Financing can make the investment more manageable — ask us about Wisetack financing during your assessment.

Yes. If your existing ductwork is in good condition, we can install a compatible heat pump and connect to the ducts you have. We inspect ductwork before installation and flag any issues like leaks or undersizing that could affect performance.

First, check that your thermostat is set to Heat mode and the temperature setting is above the current room temperature. If heat still isn’t working, call us for a diagnostic visit — the issue might be a refrigerant leak, a faulty reversing valve, or a sensor problem. Don’t wait; a broken heat pump means no heating or cooling comfort.

We recommend a professional maintenance tune-up once a year (or twice if you use heating heavily). Maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing controls, lubricating motors, and replacing filters. Regular service prevents breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently.

Modern heat pump models, including our American Standard and Gree systems, are designed to heat effectively down to very cold temperatures. Auxiliary electric heat (emergency heat) kicks in automatically on the coldest days to maintain comfort. This is normal operation, not a sign of a problem.

Yes. New American Standard and Gree heat pump installations include manufacturer warranties on compressors (typically 5–10 years) and parts (typically 1–5 years). Our installation labor also carries a warranty. Maintenance plans don’t extend manufacturer warranty, but regular tune-ups help you maintain warranty eligibility.

Absolutely. A heat pump can work alongside your existing furnace as a dual-fuel system. In mild weather, the heat pump runs efficiently; in very cold weather, the furnace provides backup heat. This hybrid approach maximizes comfort and efficiency. Talk to us about whether a dual-fuel setup makes sense for your home and budget.

We specialize in American Standard (as a Premier Dealer) and Gree (as a Select Dealer) heat pumps. We also service and repair other quality brands like Ameristar, GrandAire, and Tempstar. If you’re unsure whether we work on your specific system, call us — we’re honest about what we can and can’t handle.

Yes. Our maintenance plan includes annual or bi-annual professional tune-ups, priority scheduling for repairs, discounted service calls, and early detection of problems. Plan members often avoid emergency repairs and extend system life. Ask us for current plan options and pricing when you call.
