Think of a heat pump as an air conditioner that can run in reverse. In summer it pulls heat out of your home; in winter a reversing valve flips the refrigerant flow, and the same compressor draws heat from the outdoor air and brings it inside. Because it moves heat instead of creating it, a heat pump can deliver two to three times more heat energy than the electricity it uses, which is a big reason homeowners in Fullerton, CA are making the switch as older systems wear out. Today's cold-climate models, built around variable-speed inverter compressors, keep producing useful heat well below freezing, far beyond the heat pumps of twenty years ago.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.
Signs You Need Heat Pump Installation in Fullerton
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Keep an eye out for the following clues:

- You want one system, one outdoor unit, and one maintenance schedule
- Your existing equipment needs refrigerant recharges or big repairs to keep running
- Your utility offers rebates that favor heat pump conversions
- Rooms run hot in summer and cold in winter on the existing equipment
- An aging AC and furnace you would rather replace with a single system
- You are moving toward an all-electric home or adding solar panels
