Heat Pump Repair & Installation
in Suffolk County, NY

A heat pump has to heat the house in a Long Island winter, not just cool it in July. I repair and service heat pumps, and I install new systems when a replacement or a first-time install is the right fit.

Heat pump repair when the house still feels cold

If your heat pump is running but the house feels cool, the outdoor unit is icing up, or the system is short cycling, it may need service before the next stretch of cold weather. I’ll diagnose the problem, explain what I find, and get the system heating again when a repair is the right call.

I also service ductless mini splits — including units that heat and cool a single room, an addition, or a part of the house the main system doesn’t reach. If your mini split isn’t keeping up, I can take a look at that too.

Installing a heat pump the right way

When I install a heat pump, I size it for the home and set it up to heat in cold weather, not just to look efficient on paper. That includes looking at the existing ductwork or, for a ductless system, where the indoor heads should go so the space actually feels comfortable. When an inverter or variable-speed system is the right fit, I’ll walk you through it.

I’ll walk you through the options without unnecessary upselling. A heat pump is a good fit for some houses and not for others. If a gas furnace replacement or a boiler is the better path for your home, I’ll say so.

I install Rheem, Amana, Trane, Lennox, Goodman and other quality brands for ducted heat pumps. For ductless mini splits, I primarily install Daikin, and also Mitsubishi, with MrCool or Gree as entry-level options. Financing is available — ask when you call.

FAQ

Do you service heat pumps in winter?
Yes. I repair and service heat pumps so they heat properly in cold weather, including units that are icing up, short cycling, or blowing cool air.
Is a heat pump a good idea for my house?
It depends on the home, the existing system, and how you use the space. I’ll look at what you have and give you an honest recommendation. I won’t push a heat pump if a furnace or boiler is the better fit.
Do you install ductless mini splits too?
Yes. I install, repair, and maintain ductless mini split systems for heating and cooling, including rooms or additions the main system doesn’t reach.
What are your hours?
24 hours Monday through Friday, Saturday 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Sunday closed. I have weekday emergency availability during those weekday hours. I don’t offer 24/7 coverage.
