Heat Pump Services in Northern Virginia and Washington D.C.
Heat pumps are the multi-taskers of the HVAC industry. They’re the only appliances that can keep you comfortable in both winter and summer. During winter, they extract heat from outside and transfer it indoors. In summer, they reverse that action to cool your home with the help of a coolant. A refrigerant line adds to their cooling power. A heat pump is a perfect solution to reduce your upfront costs and require indoor climate control throughout the year. We also offer flexible financing options for our repair services and new installations.
Same Day and 24/7 Heat Pump Repair Available
Heat pumps rely on several components to achieve their effects. They use refrigerant lines, filters, compressors, evaporators, and condensers. These parts need to be carefully maintained through regular cleanings, lubrication, and repairs. Your heat pump needs routine maintenance twice a year, before summer and at the start of winter. Regular maintenance will lengthen its service life and prevent components from overheating. Our team performs comprehensive tune-ups designed to avoid future breakdowns.
A heat pump in peak condition functions quietly and produces dry air. If you’re picking up unusual noises, scents, or temperature changes, it’s time to schedule a repair. Your heat pump needs attention if it’s producing:
- Signs of rust
- Skyrocketing electricity bills
- Unusual noise
- Short-cycling
- Signs of refrigerant leakage

Heat Pump Replacement & Installation Throughout Northern Virginia
The average heat pump lasts 15 years, but heavy usage or poor maintenance habits can reduce that period to 10 years. For that reason, preventative maintenance is the best and cheapest way to stretch out its service life. If your unit is experiencing frequent breakdowns and is older than 10 years, it might be cost-effective to replace it instead of requesting a repair. If your unit’s SEER rating is chewing up your funds, a new product can reduce your running costs. United Air Temp has provided home comfort to DC residents since 1931. Few HVAC companies can offer that level of experience and expertise, so when you order a United replacement, you give yourself the best chance of satisfying HVAC ownership.

FAQs
Can my heat pump replace an air conditioner?
Heat pumps are essentially air conditioners that work in reverse. They’re just as effective as air conditioners.
Do all heat pumps rely on outdoor heat?
Heat pumps can take heat from both the ground and air. The former is a constant heat source, so it translates into improved efficacy.
What's a ductless system?
Ductless units don’t rely on air pipes to transmit heat. Instead, they rely on blown air.
