A heat pump is an air conditioner that learned to run in reverse: in summer it moves heat out of your house, and in winter a reversing valve flips the refrigerant flow so the same compressor pulls heat from outdoor air and delivers it inside. Because it moves heat rather than generating it, a heat pump routinely delivers two to three times more heat energy than the electricity it consumes, which is why so many Carson, CA homeowners are switching as older equipment ages out. Modern cold-climate models with variable-speed inverter compressors keep producing useful heat far below freezing, a genuine engineering leap over the heat pumps of twenty years ago.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
Warning Signs for Heat Pump Installation
Spotting the early warning signs lets you act before the problem gets expensive. Watch for these telltale signs:
- Uneven temperatures year-round with the equipment you have now
- You are electrifying the house or pairing major loads with solar
- You want quieter, more consistent comfort than your current system delivers
- The old system needs refrigerant top-offs or major repairs to limp on
- Your AC and furnace are both aging and you would rather replace once, not twice
- You heat with electric resistance, propane, or oil and the bills show it
- Your utility company is offering incentives for heat pumps
- You would like a single system for heating and cooling with one maintenance plan
