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 Wichita Falls, TX 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:
- Your utility offers rebates that favor heat pump conversions
- Your current system leaves rooms too warm in summer and too cool in winter
- Your AC and furnace are both aging and you would rather replace once, not twice
- High heating bills from electric baseboard, propane, or oil
- You are tired of temperature swings and want steady, even comfort
- You want one system, one outdoor unit, and one maintenance schedule
- An older system that only survives on refrigerant top-offs and major repairs
- Solar on the roof, or plans for it, and a goal of going all-electric
Early Action Saves Money
Left unchecked, even a small fault or temperature swing often signals a system working its way toward a breakdown. Don't wait, call (940) 204-7154 and we'll take a look right away.
