Heat Pump Repair in Hillcrest, DC

Heat pumps keep a lot of Hillcrest homes warm in winter and cool in summer, so when one fails you lose both. We repair all major brands and both ducted and ductless systems. We cover Hillcrest from Naylor Road to Alabama Avenue.

Common setups in Hillcrest

Hillcrest homes usually have gas furnaces with central air, and many older homes still have boilers. Some have added heat pumps or mini-splits for upstairs rooms.

Hillcrest homeowners who added heat pumps sometimes kept the gas furnace for backup. The thermostat needs to know when to switch, or both can run inefficiently.

When to call about heat pump repair

• Loud whooshing or grinding from the outdoor unit
• System switches modes on its own
• Indoor fan runs but the outdoor unit stays off
• Short bursts of heat that never warm the room
• Outdoor unit covered in a thick layer of ice

Heat pumps added to Hillcrest homes in recent years are often paired with the existing furnace. Making sure the two share the work correctly saves money every winter.
