A heat pump is an air conditioner that learned to run in reverse: in summer it moves heat out of your house, and in winter a reversing valve flips the refrigerant flow so the same compressor pulls heat from outdoor air and delivers it inside. Because it moves heat rather than generating it, a heat pump routinely delivers two to three times more heat energy than the electricity it consumes, which is why so many Grand Junction, CO homeowners are switching as older equipment ages out. Modern cold-climate models with variable-speed inverter compressors keep producing useful heat far below freezing, a genuine engineering leap over the heat pumps of twenty years ago.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
