Heating Installation
Heat pumps, when operating in the heating mode for long periods, will begin to form ice on the outdoor coil and reduce the amount of air which can freely flow through the coil. This is normal operating procedure for heat pumps. When this happens the machine will cycle to the defrost mode. The defrost mode will temporarily switch the system to the cooling mode in order to build heat in the outdoor coil to melt the ice. After the ice is melted, the reversing valve is activated and once again heat is produced. Most air handlers will have an electric heating element installed in order to offer heat while the machine is in the defrost mode and to provide supplemental heat when outdoor temperatures drop very low. Emergency heat pump repair is available so your not left in the COLD!
We install many name brands in the business such as Trane, Goodman, Rheem, Ruud, and many more.

Although Heat Pumps are most popular in our area we also install/Replace gas or electric furnaces as well.
When to Consider Heating unit Replacement:
- Your Heating system is 10 to 15 years old or more
- Electricity bills increasingly high typically due to decrease in efficiency
- Repair bills stacking up
Preventative Maintenance Agreements (PMAs) are available to all homeowners regardless of the equipment manufacturer, age of equipment, or who originally installed the system. PMA customers benefit by receiving priority scheduling, waived service call and diagnostic charges during regular business hours, and discounts from 15% to 20% on replacement parts and equipment. During your scheduled central ac maintenance tune-ups our technicians will clean both the indoor evaporator coil and the outdoor condenser coil, check the drain pan and clear the drain lines. They will tighten all electrical connections and measure and document amperage draws and voltage readings, lubricate any moving parts, check and adjust the refrigerant charge (up to 1lb of Freon) and replace all provided filters. The technician will alert the homeowner to potential developing problems with the system and provide a solution before a system failure.
