Expert Heat Pump Services
Heat Pump Repair and Troubleshooting
Heat pumps are an efficient choice for North Carolina’s mild winters, but even the best systems can experience issues such as short cycling, frozen coils, or weak airflow. Our technicians are skilled in identifying the cause of poor performance and restoring your system’s heating capacity quickly.
We service both standard and high-efficiency heat pumps, including dual fuel systems. Whether the issue is electrical, refrigerant-related, or mechanical, we provide clear communication, accurate diagnostics, and high-quality repairs that stand up to cold weather.
Heat Pump Installation and Replacement
If your heat pump is more than 10–15 years old, you may notice reduced efficiency or frequent repairs. Upgrading to a modern, variable-speed system can deliver better comfort and lower utility bills. We handle every step of installation, from sizing and design to testing and final verification.
Each installation follows manufacturer specifications and state code requirements. We ensure proper airflow, refrigerant charge, and thermostat calibration for consistent, efficient heating all season long.

Furnace Installation and Replacement
Replacing an outdated furnace is one of the most effective ways to improve comfort and energy efficiency. We install high-efficiency gas and propane furnaces designed for durability and consistent heating. Each installation is tailored to your home’s square footage, insulation, and duct design for even temperature distribution and reliable performance.

Preventive maintenance keeps your furnace operating efficiently while helping you avoid breakdowns and costly repairs. During a heating tune-up, we:
- Inspect burners and heat exchangers for cracks or corrosion
- Test ignition and safety controls
- Clean and adjust blower components
