Heat Pump Repair
The usual complaints, weak airflow, a system stuck on auxiliary heat, ice on the outdoor unit, or cooling that never quite dries the air, each point at different components. We diagnose before pricing, explain the finding in plain terms, and check the coil corrosion salt air inflicts on every outdoor unit in this region as standard practice.
Installation Sized by Measurement
Heat pump sizing has less forgiveness than furnace sizing: too big shortcycles and leaves humidity behind, too small leans on backup heat all winter. We run the load calculation on the actual house. Homes with gas service worth using can pair the heat pump with a furnace in a dual fuel hybrid system, and rooms beyond the ductwork take mini-splits on their own controls.
Running Costs and Longevity
A heat pump runs year-round duty, which makes its maintenance interval matter more than any other equipment in the house. Twice-yearly service through a maintenance plan covers both seasons, and a smart thermostat configured correctly for heat pump staging keeps auxiliary heat from quietly inflating winter bills.
Heating excellence guaranteed.

FAQs
Do heat pumps work in Hampton Roads winters?
Yes, comfortably. Winters here sit well inside modern heat pump capability, and backup heat covers the rare hard snap.
Why is my heat pump running constantly in winter?
Longer run times are normal heat pump behavior in cold weather, but constant running with poor output points at charge, airflow, or a defrost problem worth diagnosing.
Is ice on my heat pump normal?
Light frost is normal and the defrost cycle clears it. Sheets of ice are not; they point at airflow, charge, or a defrost fault worth diagnosing before components suffer.
Why does my auxiliary heat run so much?
Staging settings, a thermostat configured wrong for heat pump operation, or an undersized system. Whatever the cause, auxiliary heat is the expensive way to make heat, and the fix pays for itself.
How long do heat pumps last this close to the coast?
Less time than the same unit inland if nobody manages the salt exposure, about the same if someone does. Coil care on scheduled visits is what moves that number.

My technician was right on time and very efficient.
