What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a type of heating system that uses existing thermal energy to provide a more environmentally friendly heat source. The system draws existing thermal energy from an environmental source, such as the ground, air or water, and then converts into steam to heat your home.
Why Choose a Heat Pump?
While ducted AC systems are unbeatable in terms of pure, unadulterated cooling power, ductless mini-split heat pumps offer an exciting option for older homes without a built-in duct system, as well as open-plan living spaces.

Inadequate Power Supply
The problem could be something as simple as a bad power cord or tripped circuit breaker. This should be checked first.
Internal Buildup
A dirty filter will decrease airflow and strain the motor more. Clean or replace the filter on a regular basis.

Our technicians will find the leak, and repair it so your system is running successfully once again.
Faulty, Overworked or Broken Blower Motor
