Heat Pump Services in Norcross

From the driveway a heat pump passes for an ordinary condenser, yet it runs in both directions, carrying heat out of the building through summer and drawing it in through winter. That two-way design suits Norcross, where cooling season stretches for months and winter mostly stays mild, and it also means the equipment rarely gets an off season. HVAC Norcross repairs, replaces and installs heat pumps in houses and commercial suites, including dual-fuel arrangements that let a gas furnace carry the load on the bitterest nights. Plenty of heat pump calls begin with behavior that is perfectly normal. On cold, wet days frost builds on the outdoor coil, and the unit clears it with a defrost cycle: the fan pauses, a cloud of vapor drifts up and there is a whoosh as the reversing valve shifts. That is routine. What is not routine is a cabinet sealed in ice, cool air from the vents while the thermostat says heat, backup heat strips that never seem to shut off or a system that refuses to swap modes. Those signs point toward a failed defrost board or sensor, a reversing valve that sticks, a low charge, a tired outdoor fan motor or thermostat settings that lean on backup heat too early. With dual-fuel equipment we also confirm that the handoff between heat pump and furnace happens at a sensible outdoor temperature. When replacing makes more sense, we size the new heat pump to the building and its ducts and translate the SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings into plain language.
