Heat pumps are popular in rural Spotsylvania homes because one system handles both heating and cooling. When temperatures dip, a heat pump gets help from electric heat strips inside the indoor unit. Those strips work well, but they use a lot of electricity. A worn heat pump, low refrigerant or a thermostat problem can keep backup heat running far more than it should, and your power bill shows it.
If your Marye home uses a private well, possibly with a separate well house, a heating failure during a hard freeze can put water lines at risk too. That’s one more reason to keep your system in good shape before winter.


A maintenance plan keeps these visits on the calendar.

I met Seth a few years ago when I had another company install a new AC unit improperly. He fixed it and ended up installing a new secondary unit for me a short time later. Ever since then I’ve been a faithful customer and go to Seth for all of our HVAC needs and concerns. I am so thankful to have found a solid company after having countless companies take my money and give me the run around. I cannot recommend Seth or this company enough!! They will take the absolute BEST care of you!!Posted on Google![]()

My heat pump broke in the middle of winter. I called several companies before this one and they all couldn't get to me for a whole month! I called this company and they were able to send someone to take a look at the heat pump the same day. This offered me a lot of relief as I wanted to resolve the broken heat pump as soon as possible so that I didn't have to wear a coat inside my own house or worry about frozen pipes. The technicians were all very respectful of my property and cordial. I ended up getting a new heat pump because we would have had to replace most of the parts of the old one. The price for the new heat pump was fair. Would definitely recommend giving these guys a shot.Posted on Google![]()

In many heat pump homes, a winter bill spike comes from electric backup heat running too much. That can happen when the heat pump is low on refrigerant, the outdoor coil is dirty or the thermostat is calling for emergency heat. In rural Marye homes that rely on a heat pump, a service call often finds the cause and brings costs back down.
Emergency heat turns off the heat pump and runs only the backup heat, usually electric strips. It’s meant for times when the heat pump has failed, not for everyday use. If you’ve had to switch to it, your heat pump likely needs repair. Call us, and switch back to normal heat once the problem is fixed.
It can if the failure happens during a hard freeze. Water lines inside the house, and sometimes the lines or equipment serving a private well, can freeze when the heat is off for long. If your Marye home relies on a well, keeping your heating system reliable is a practical way to protect your plumbing through Virginia winters.
Check the outdoor unit’s label or look at your thermostat. If the thermostat has settings like “emergency heat” or “aux heat,” you likely have a heat pump. A heat pump also runs its outdoor unit in winter, while an air conditioner sits idle. If you’re still not sure, we can tell you during any visit.
