Heat Pumps

Heat Pump Services in Tupelo, MS

Heat pumps are a strong fit for Northeast Mississippi because our winters are mild enough that a heat pump can carry most of the heating load efficiently while providing cooling from the same equipment. We repair, install, and maintain heat pumps in both heating and cooling modes.

Heat Pumps service in Tupelo, Mississippi

Heat Pumps services we provide

A heat pump is an air conditioner that can run backward. In summer it moves heat out of the house. In winter it moves heat from outdoor air into the house, and it switches between the two with a reversing valve. That extra mode means there are components a straight cooling system does not have: the reversing valve, the defrost board and sensor, and the backup heat.

Because a heat pump runs year round, it accumulates far more operating hours than a cooling only system. Maintenance matters more here, and both modes have to be tested rather than just the one that happens to be in season.

Normal heat pump behavior that worries homeowners

  • Supply air in heating mode feels cooler than gas heat. A heat pump delivers a larger volume of moderately warm air rather than short bursts of hot air
  • Steam rising from the outdoor unit after a defrost cycle is normal, not a fire
  • Light frost on the outdoor coil in cold, damp weather is normal. A solid block of ice that does not clear is not
  • The outdoor unit runs in winter. That is how the system produces heat

Frequently asked questions

Are heat pumps a good choice in Mississippi?

Yes. Heat pumps perform efficiently in mild winters, and Northeast Mississippi rarely stays cold long enough to push a properly sized heat pump into heavy reliance on backup heat. One system also handles both heating and cooling, which simplifies maintenance.

How long do heat pumps last?

Typically 12 to 15 years. Because a heat pump runs in both seasons it logs more hours than a cooling only system, so consistent maintenance has a larger effect on its service life.

How often should a heat pump be serviced?

Twice a year is the standard recommendation, once before cooling season and once before heating season, because both operating modes and the defrost cycle need to be verified.
