Heat Pump Installation and Replacement

Choosing and installing a new heat pump is a significant investment in your home. A properly sized and expertly installed unit can drastically improve your comfort, lower your energy bills, and provide years of reliable service.

We specialize in professional heat pump installation and replacement. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your home’s unique needs, including its size, insulation, and layout. We guide you through selecting the right energy-efficient model that fits your budget and performance expectations. A precise installation is critical; an improperly installed unit can lead to poor performance, higher energy costs, and a shorter lifespan. Our certified technicians ensure every component, from the outdoor unit to the indoor air handler and thermostat, is installed to exact manufacturer specifications for optimal efficiency and reliability. Southern Air ensures every installation meets the highest standards for lasting comfort.

Heat Pump Repair

A malfunctioning heat pump can quickly turn your home from a sanctuary into a source of stress. Southern Air understands the urgency of getting your system back online. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair all makes and models of heat pumps, addressing issues quickly and effectively.

Look for these common signs that your heat pump needs professional repair:

1. Inadequate Heating or Cooling: The system is running, but the air coming from your vents isn't the right temperature.
2. Strange Noises: Grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds often indicate mechanical problems that require immediate attention.
3. Constant Cycling: The unit turns on and off more frequently than usual, signaling issues with the thermostat, airflow, or refrigerant.
4. Ice on the Outdoor Unit: Thick layers of ice, especially during the heating cycle, point to defrost cycle problems or low refrigerant.
5. Unexpectedly High Energy Bills: Sudden spikes in utility costs can indicate inefficient heat pump operation.

When you call Southern Air for a repair, we perform a complete diagnostic to pinpoint the root cause. We then explain our findings clearly and provide straightforward options before any work begins.

Heat Pump Maintenance and Tune-Ups

The single most effective way to extend the life of your heat pump, prevent costly breakdowns, and ensure it runs efficiently is through regular, professional maintenance. Just like your car, your heat pump is a complex machine that benefits from an annual tune-up.

A typical tune-up includes:

1. Inspecting and Cleaning Coils
2. Checking Refrigerant Levels and Pressure
3. Lubricating Motors and Moving Parts
4. Testing Electrical Connections and Components
5. Calibrating the Thermostat
6. Cleaning and Inspecting the Condensate Drain
7. Verifying Proper Airflow

This preventative service improves your system's performance and efficiency while allowing our technicians to identify minor issues before they escalate into major, expensive repairs.
