What Is A Heat Pump?
A heat pump is an innovative unit that both heats and cools your home. Instead of creating heat by combusting natural gas or heating electric elements, a heat pump simply moves heat from one place to another.
In the winter, they gather heat from outside and move it into your home. In the summer, they draw heat from your home and move it outside, leaving your home nice and cool. At Waldrop, we can help you choose the best solution for your home from these types of heat pumps:
- Air source heat pumps – This type of heat pump absorbs heat from the outside air to heat your home. They can extract heat from the air as long as the outside temperatures is no lower than 5°F.
- Geothermal heat pumps – Also called ground source heat pumps, these units draw heat from deep underground. They are extremely energy efficient and can reduce your heating and cooling bills by 70% or more.
- Mini-split heat pumps – Mini-split heat pumps provide a duct-free solution for heating and cooling. This is ideal if you’re building an addition onto your home or converting a basement, garage, or attic into a livable space.

Our heating experts will evaluate your home to size your heat pump so that you get the ideal balance of performance and efficiency. We’ll install your new heat pump and calibrate it for your home, testing it thoroughly before we leave.
HEAT PUMP REPAIR
When your heat pump stops working, call in the NATE-certified technicians at Waldrop for high-quality heat pump repair. We’ll be there quickly to diagnose the problem and restore comfort to your home.
Don’t wait for your heat pump to break down to call for repair – reach out to us if you notice that it’s acting strange or isn’t performing as well as normal. These signs often occur right before a heat pump stops working altogether, so having your heat pump repaired before that happens can prevent the hassle and expense of a total breakdown.
HEAT PUMP MAINTENANCE
Your heat pump works hard year round, doing the job of both a furnace and an air conditioner. Routine heat pump maintenance is essential to keep it running well and prevent major problems. Proper maintenance also extends the life of your heat pump to provide you with extra years on your investment.
Your heat pump needs maintenance once per year if it is a supplemental system, and twice per year if it is your primary HVAC system. At Waldrop, we offer multiple maintenance plans to save you money and simplify heat pump maintenance as much as possible.

Heat Pump FAQs
With proper maintenance, a heat pump should last about 15 years. However, the total service life of your heat pump depends on the demands placed on it throughout its lifetime.
Since a heat pump both heats and cools, it needs two ratings. SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures the efficiency of a heat pump in cooling mode, while HSPF (Heating Season Performance Factor) measures its efficiency in heating mode. The higher these numbers, the more efficient the heat pump is.
Emergency and auxiliary heating are two different options for when a heat pump is unable to adequately heat your home. In the event of a malfunction, users manually activate emergency heat mode from the thermostat, which provides 100% of the heat using electric coils. Auxiliary heat automatically kicks in to support the heat pump when outside temperatures are too low to draw all the heat it needs.
Your heat pump gives off warning signs when it needs to be replaced. Signs indicating it’s time for a heat pump replacement include poor airflow, strange smells or noises, and frequent repairs.
