How Does a Heat Pump Work?
A heat pump is a sophisticated HVAC system with dual functionality. Depending on your comfort needs, this comfort unit can pump heated air inside or outside.
For instance, in cold months, a heat pump will extract heat from the air outside a home and transfer it inside to warm it up. It functions like an air conditioner in the summer, using refrigerant to cool the air in your home.
Heat pumps are popular because they’re a cost-effective and efficient HVAC solution for year-round comfort.
Heat Pump Installation & Replacement
You can streamline your HVAC system by installing a heat pump and replacing your air conditioner and furnace with one unit.
Benefits of a heat pump instead of an AC and furnace combo include:
- Optimal use of space
- Enhanced heating and cooling efficiency
- Simplified maintenance and repairs
- Lower utility costs
- And more

Signs You Need Heat Pump Repair
Watch for performance issues and schedule heat pump service as soon as you notice abnormalities in your unit’s function.
The most common signs you need a heat pump repair include:
- Inadequate heating or cooling: You might notice your heat pump isn’t providing enough hot or cold air. Poor performance is likely caused by a broken or failing component.
- Weird sounds: A heat pump that’s struggling to operate may make grinding, banging, or squealing noises.
- Higher energy bills: When your heat pump is poorly maintained or damaged, it’ll work harder to get your home to the desired temperature, which leads to more expensive utility costs.
- Frequent short-cycling: If your heat pump turns on and off quickly without reaching the temperature setting, you need fast service.
- Odd smells: If you notice weird odors, like musty or burning smells, this can mean that your heat pump has overheating components or electrical issues.
Heat Pump Maintenance
Even if you only have one system, you still need twice-annual tune-ups if you rely on your heat pump year-round. We recommend scheduling maintenance in the fall and spring to ensure your HVAC unit will operate reliably in the winter and summer ahead.
Routine tune-ups are a preventative measure to spot potential defects and weaknesses in a heat pump system.
Common maintenance tasks include:
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Cleaning or replacing air filters
- Inspecting electrical components
- Lubricating moving parts
- Verifying thermostat functionality
- And more
We offer the Carefree Maintenance Plan to make heating and cooling tune-ups as easy as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is dual-fuel heating?
Dual-fuel heating is when you have a heat pump and a furnace. The heat pump is used regularly for both heating and cooling, but a furnace is on standby in case temperatures drop significantly.
How long do heat pumps last?
Heat pumps can last for 10 to 15 years with annual maintenance and prompt repairs.
What happens if your heat pump’s reversing valve is stuck?
A reversing valve being stuck means that your heat pump is locked into either heating or cooling mode.
When this happens, your heat pump can have inefficient operation, inconsistent temperatures, and sometimes even total system failure.
Schedule heat pump repair with a trusted HVAC service company to restore your unit.
What’s included in heat pump maintenance?
Heat pump maintenance includes cleaning, inspecting, testing, and repairing the unit.
The purpose of maintenance is either to rectify a current issue or identify and solve potential issues.
