When your heat pump isn't working correctly, you need experienced technicians who understand the intricacies of these sophisticated systems. At Lions Heating & Air Conditioning, our 15+ years of experience as Rheem Pro Partners, Bryant Factory Authorized Dealers, and Fujitsu Elite Dealers means we can diagnose and repair heat pump problems quickly and effectively.
Our comprehensive understanding of heat pump technology - from traditional ducted systems to advanced ductless configurations - allows us to tackle any repair challenge. Whether you're experiencing poor heating performance, unusual noises, ice buildup, or complete system failure, our certified technicians have the expertise to restore your comfort efficiently.
Heat pumps are complex systems with multiple components working together to provide year-round comfort. When any component fails or operates inefficiently, the entire system's performance suffers. Our diagnostic approach identifies the root cause rather than just treating symptoms.
Refrigerant leaks are among the most common heat pump problems we encounter. These leaks can develop in various locations - from indoor coils to outdoor units, and anywhere along the refrigerant lines connecting them. Our technicians use advanced leak detection equipment including electronic leak detectors and ultraviolet dyes to pinpoint even the smallest leaks.

Modern heat pumps rely on sophisticated electrical controls and safety systems. When these components fail, symptoms can range from intermittent operation to complete system shutdown. Our electrical troubleshooting process systematically checks all components including contactors, capacitors, control boards, thermostats, and safety switches.
Capacitor failures are particularly common and can cause various symptoms including hard starting, reduced efficiency, and compressor damage if left unaddressed. We carry a comprehensive inventory of capacitors for all major brands and can typically resolve these issues during our initial service visit.
Control board problems require more advanced diagnostic skills. Our technicians understand the complex logic these boards use to coordinate system operation and can identify whether issues stem from board failures, wiring problems, or sensor malfunctions.
The reversing valve is what allows heat pumps to switch between heating and cooling modes. When this component fails, systems may become stuck in one mode or fail to achieve proper temperature control in either mode. Reversing valve issues often manifest as poor heating performance during winter months when homeowners need their systems most.
Heat pumps operating in heating mode during cold weather naturally accumulate frost and ice on outdoor coils. The defrost system is designed to periodically remove this buildup, but when defrost components fail, ice accumulation can severely impact performance or cause complete system shutdown.
Request Heat Pump RepairEffective heat pump repair begins with accurate diagnosis. Our comprehensive diagnostic approach goes beyond obvious symptoms to identify underlying causes and prevent recurring problems.
We use digital manifold gauges and electronic thermometers to measure system performance under actual operating conditions. This includes monitoring suction and discharge pressures, superheat and subcooling temperatures, amp draws on major components, and airflow measurements throughout the system.
Our electrical diagnostic process includes voltage measurements at all major components, amp draw analysis under different operating conditions, and resistance testing of motors and heating elements. We also verify control circuit operation and safety switch functionality to ensure complete system integrity.
Proper airflow is critical for heat pump efficiency and longevity. Our diagnostic process includes ductwork inspection, airflow measurement, and static pressure testing to identify restrictions or leaks that impact system performance.
Major HVAC investments often come at unexpected times - usually when existing equipment fails. Understanding financing options before you need them helps make better decisions when time is limited. We offer financing programs that can make high-efficiency equipment more accessible.
Pennsylvania homeowners have access to various rebate and incentive programs that can significantly reduce the cost of HVAC improvements. However, these programs have specific requirements and deadlines that require careful attention. We work regularly with these programs understand application requirements and can help ensure you receive all available incentives.
Preventive maintenance represents the best investment most homeowners can make in their HVAC systems. After years of emergency service calls, the difference between well-maintained and neglected systems becomes obvious. With our Lions Club program, regular maintenance prevents most emergency failures and extends equipment life significantly.

Learn MoreHeat pump failures don't follow convenient schedules. When your system stops working during extreme weather conditions, you need immediate professional assistance. Our 24/7 emergency service ensures help is available when you need it most.
Our emergency service begins with telephone diagnosis to help you understand your situation and potentially resolve simple issues over the phone. When on-site service is required, our technicians carry comprehensive parts inventories and specialized diagnostic equipment to resolve most problems during the initial visit.
Pennsylvania winters present unique challenges for heat pump operation. Our technicians understand cold weather operating characteristics and can quickly distinguish between normal operation and actual system problems during extreme weather conditions.
Heating and cooling emergencies don't wait for business hours. Our weekend and holiday emergency service provides the same professional expertise and comprehensive repair capabilities available during regular business hours.
One of the most common questions we hear is whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. Our honest assessment process helps homeowners make informed decisions based on their specific situations.
Repair cost versus system value is the primary consideration for most homeowners. Generally, repairs costing less than 50% of the system's current value make economic sense, especially if the system is less than 10-15 years old.
Heat pumps typically provide 15-20 years of reliable service with proper maintenance and timely repairs. Systems approaching this age range require more careful analysis of repair versus replacement decisions.
