Heating & Heat Pump Service in Putnam County, FL

Flat quote before we start

North-central Florida winters are mild until the week they aren't โ€” and a hard freeze always seems to arrive the night your heat pump decides to quit. Freddie's services heat pumps, strip heat, and furnaces across Putnam County so you're not left cold when the temperature drops into the 20s.

Most homes around here run a heat pump with electric strip heat for backup. When the heat quits, it's often the reversing valve, a bad defrost control, a failed strip-heat element, or the same capacitor and contactor faults that plague the cooling side. I test to find it instead of throwing parts at it.

Because heat pumps sit idle most of the year, problems hide until you need them. A unit that cooled fine all summer can fail on its first cold night when the reversing valve tries to switch. A quick check before winter catches the weak spots while it's still a small repair.

Whatever it is, you get the same deal as everything else I do: I find the fault, I give you one flat price to fix it, and you decide before I turn a wrench. No upsell to a system you don't need.

Ignore a struggling heat pump and you'll ride the emergency strip heat straight into a shocking power bill โ€” or lose heat entirely on the coldest night. Call or text (386) 546-8626 and get it sorted before the freeze.

Heating & Heat Pump Service โ€” common questions

Do you service heat pumps and electric heat
Yes. Most Putnam County homes run a heat pump with electric strip-heat backup, and I service both โ€” reversing valves, defrost controls, strip-heat elements, and the electrical faults that take heat down. I diagnose it and quote the repair flat.
Why is my heat pump blowing cold air in heat mode
It could be a stuck reversing valve, a bad defrost control, or the backup heat not engaging. Sometimes the unit is just in a normal defrost cycle. If it stays cold, it needs testing โ€” I'll find the cause and tell you the fix before any work starts.
My power bill spikes in winter โ€” is my heat the problem
Often, yes. When a heat pump can't keep up or has failed, the system falls back on electric strip heat, which is far more expensive to run. Getting the heat pump working right usually brings the bill back down. A check-up will tell us what's going on.
