Heat Pump Repair in Hiawassee, GA

Reviews
Heat pumps are the most common system in Hiawassee homes because they handle both our humid summers and mild winters efficiently. When one acts up, it often shows up as a high power bill before anything else. McKinney Heating & Air repairs heat pumps throughout Towns County from our shop in town.
Watch for the Aux Heat Light
If your thermostat shows "aux" or "emergency" heat for long stretches, your heat pump is leaning on its backup electric strips, which cost far more to run. That usually points to a refrigerant, defrost or outdoor unit problem worth fixing quickly.
Normal vs. Not Normal
- Normal: steam from the outdoor unit during defrost, lukewarm air from vents, a whoosh when it changes modes
- Not normal: thick ice that won't clear, cold air in heat mode, constant running without reaching the setpoint
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my power bill so high this winter?
Heavy use of backup heat strips is a common cause. A repair often brings it back down.

Typically 12 to 15 years with regular maintenance.
