Heat Pump Repair & Installation in Greensboro, NC
Heat pumps are a natural fit for the Piedmont's mild winters, heating efficiently on most days and cooling all summer. Many homes here already have one.
Request an AC technicianHow they work
A heat pump moves heat into the house in winter and out in summer.
Auxiliary heat
Electric strips or a gas furnace help on the coldest days; the thermostat may show 'aux' or 'emergency heat'.
Defrost cycles
In winter the outdoor unit defrosts and may steam; that's normal.
Ice storms
Ice can build up on the unit; if it doesn't clear after defrost, call for service.
Not heating
Reversing valves, defrost controls and refrigerant leaks are common repairs.
Dual fuel
Pairing a heat pump with a gas furnace switches to gas when it's very cold.
Replacement
New heat pumps are much more efficient than older ones.
Ductless
Mini-split heat pumps suit additions and bonus rooms.

Frequently asked questions
- Why is my heat pump blowing cool air in winter?
- It may be defrosting, or the air simply feels cooler than furnace heat. If the house won't warm up, call for service.
- Should I use emergency heat?
- Only if the heat pump has failed; it costs more to run.
