Heat Pumps in Ellwood City, PA
One efficient system that heats in the winter and cools in the summer. Heat pump installation, repair and dual-fuel systems.
Heating + Cooling in One
Year-Round Comfort From One System
A heat pump looks like an air conditioner, but it works in both directions. In summer it moves heat out of your home; in winter it pulls heat from the outdoor air and brings it inside. Because it moves heat instead of burning fuel, it can heat very efficiently in mild and cool weather.
For the coldest Pennsylvania days, a heat pump can be paired with a gas furnace in a dual-fuel system (Carrier calls it Hybrid Heat). The heat pump handles most of the year, and the furnace takes over when it gets really cold.

- You heat with electric baseboard or oil

Questions
Heat Pump FAQ
Do heat pumps work in Pennsylvania winters?
Yes. Modern heat pumps keep heating well below freezing, and cold-climate models are built for harsher winters. Many homes here pair a heat pump with a gas furnace (dual fuel) so the furnace takes over on the coldest days.
Is it normal for my heat pump to have frost or steam in winter?
A light coating of frost is normal, and the heat pump will run a defrost cycle that can release steam from the outdoor unit. If the unit is covered in thick ice or stays iced over, call for service.
How long does a heat pump last?
Because a heat pump runs year-round, it typically lasts about 12 to 15 years. A tune-up each spring and fall helps it reach the full lifespan.
