Quick answers

Do you repair heat pumps and heat strips?

Yes. We diagnose and repair heat pumps, heat strips and air handlers across Port Richey and Pasco County. The residential diagnostic visit is $90, or $195 after hours and on weekends, as our AC repair cost guide shows.

Why does my heat smell like something is burning?

A dusty, slightly scorched smell on the first cool night is usually dust burning off the heat strips, and it should fade within fifteen to thirty minutes. Smoke, a hot plastic smell or a smell that keeps coming back needs a technician, so turn the system off at the thermostat and call us.

How much does a new heat pump cost?

Our reviewed heat pump replacement projects ran $8,600 to $13,500 for 2.5 to 4 ton systems. The equipment series, efficiency and installation work change the price, as our AC installation cost guide explains.

Heat Pump and Heating Service in Port Richey & Pasco County

Most Pasco County homes don't rely on a gas furnace for heat. Instead, they use a heat pump, the same outdoor unit that cools your home all summer, operating in reverse. When temperatures drop too low for the heat pump alone, electric heat strips inside the air handler provide backup heating. If either component fails, you will notice it on the first cold night of the season. Our Port Richey team provides professional heat pump repair and replacement for homes throughout Pasco County, including New Port Richey, Hudson, Holiday, Trinity, and Jasmine Estates.

Every heating call starts with a complete diagnostic inspection. You will understand exactly what failed before you approve a repair. Common problems include a stuck reversing valve, a defective defrost control, a failing capacitor, burned out heat strip elements, and incorrect thermostat wiring or settings. When your system is approaching the end of its life, we compare the repair estimate with the cost of new equipment. Our reviewed heat pump replacement projects ranged from $8,600 to $13,500, depending on system capacity and equipment.

Local know-how

Why Pasco County Homes Need Heat Pump Service

Florida winters are mild, but a cold front can still drop Port Richey temperatures into the 40s overnight. Here's why reliable heating matters for Pasco County homeowners.

Seasonal Reliability

Your heating system may sit unused for most of the year. Household dust collects on the heat strips, and minor problems stay hidden until the first cold night. A professional inspection in the fall identifies these issues before temperatures drop.

Lower Energy Consumption

Electric heat strips consume far more energy than a properly operating heat pump. If your thermostat is stuck on emergency heat, your utility bill will increase quickly. The same thing happens when a failing heat pump leaves the strips doing all the work.

Comfort and Safety

Cold nights are especially difficult for elderly family members, young children, and pets. A home that cannot hold heat is more than an inconvenience. Same day service means you are not waiting out a cold front in an uncomfortable house.

Year Round Operation

Your heat pump provides cooling in the summer and heating in the winter, so it operates nearly every month of the year. That additional run time makes regular maintenance essential. Our two visit maintenance plan inspects both the cooling and heating components.

Our process

How Our Heating Repair Process Works

Diagnostic Inspection

We test the heat pump in heating mode, inspect the reversing valve and defrost controls, and measure the electrical performance of each heat strip.

Written Estimate

We explain what failed and provide a written price before any work begins. If replacement makes more financial sense, we present both options side by side.

Professional Repair

Our technicians carry many common replacement parts, so a lot of heating repairs are completed in a single visit. New heat pumps are properly sized for your home.

Thermostat Verification

We finish by verifying your thermostat settings. If you want an upgrade, we install Honeywell smart thermostats and explain the heating and emergency heat modes.
