A heat pump is an air conditioner that learned to run in reverse: in summer it moves heat out of your house, and in winter a reversing valve flips the refrigerant flow so the same compressor pulls heat from outdoor air and delivers it inside. Because it moves heat rather than generating it, a heat pump routinely delivers two to three times more heat energy than the electricity it consumes, which is why so many Spokane, WA homeowners are switching as older equipment ages out. Modern cold-climate models with variable-speed inverter compressors keep producing useful heat far below freezing, a genuine engineering leap over the units that gave the technology its old reputation.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
Signs You Need Heat Pump Installation in Spokane
The sooner you notice these red flags, the easier and cheaper the fix. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call a professional:
- The old system needs refrigerant top-offs or major repairs to limp on
- Both your air conditioner and furnace are getting old, and one replacement beats two
- You would like a single system for heating and cooling with one maintenance plan
- You are electrifying the house or pairing major loads with solar
- You heat with electric resistance, propane, or oil and the bills show it
- You want steady, even comfort instead of blast-and-coast temperature swings
- Rooms run hot in summer and cold in winter on the existing equipment
- Your utility company is offering incentives for heat pumps
