Why Washington Homeowners Call Our Team

When your home is too cold or too warm, you need more than a quick fix. You need a company you trust inside your home and around your family. As a family-owned business, we have built our name on long-term relationships rather than one-time service calls. Many customers stay with us for years because they know we remember their system, their home, and their preferences.

Our company is fully licensed and insured, which helps protect you whenever work is performed on your heating system and cooling system. We invest in factory training for our technicians, so they stay current on modern heat pump technology and can also handle older equipment that is still in use across the area. This combination of training and experience helps us track down the true cause of performance issues instead of guessing or swapping parts unnecessarily.

Quality of work matters to us, so we back our labor with a 3-year workmanship warranty. Many qualifying systems also carry a 10-year manufacturers warranty on parts, which we help you understand and use when repairs or replacement components are needed. These protections mean you are not just hoping a repair will last, you have written support for the work we perform.

We know problems rarely wait for regular business hours. That is why we offer 24/7 emergency service in Washington, answer calls after hours, and provide same-day service when our schedule allows. If your heat pump quits on a freezing night or a muggy afternoon, you can reach a real person who will work to get a technician to your door as soon as possible. Free estimates help you make decisions confidently without worrying about paying just to get a quote.

Our recent acquisition of Valley Heating & Air Conditioning has allowed us to expand our capabilities while keeping the same customer-first focus. For Valley customers in Washington, this means continuity of service from a team that understands the local housing stock, local weather, and the systems commonly installed in this area.

Troubleshooting Common Issues: When to Call for Heat Pump Repair in Washington 

Recognizing the early warning signs of a failing system can save you from a total breakdown in the middle of a cold snap. While some issues might seem like minor annoyances, they often point to deeper mechanical struggles within the unit. We always encourage our neighbors to listen to their systems—if it sounds or smells different than usual, it is likely trying to tell you something. Addressing these concerns early through professional heat pump repair Washington services can significantly extend the lifespan of your equipment and keep your monthly utility costs manageable.

There are several key indicators that it is time to reach out for a professional assessment:

🔷 Weak Airflow or Temperature Shifts: If your vents are barely pushing air or the air isn't reaching the temperature set on your thermostat, your system is likely struggling with a failing motor or a refrigerant leak.

🔷 Odd Noises: Banging, shrieking, or persistent clicking are never "normal." These usually indicate loose parts, failing bearings, or electrical issues that need immediate attention.

🔷 Short-Cycling: If your heat pump is turning on and off every few minutes, it is working harder than it needs to, which leads to massive wear and tear and high energy bills.

🔷 Ice Build-up: Seeing a layer of ice on your outdoor unit in the summer is a major red flag usually tied to airflow restrictions or low refrigerant levels.

If you notice any of these symptoms, searching for heat pump repair shouldn't be a source of anxiety. We have spent years diagnosing these exact problems across Washington County, and we know exactly how to handle them. We don't believe in guesswork; we use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the failure and provide a lasting fix. Our goal is to ensure that your heat pump operates at peak efficiency, regardless of how extreme the weather gets outside.

Neglecting these small signs can lead to much more expensive repairs down the road. A small leak today can become a compressor failure tomorrow. We take pride in our ability to catch these issues early, offering a clear and helpful path forward that respects your budget and your time. When you call (724) 932-6862, you are getting a team that values your long-term comfort over a quick profit.

What To Do When Your Heat Pump Fails

It can be stressful when your heat pump suddenly stops working, especially during a cold evening in Washington or a sticky summer weekend. The house feels uncomfortable, and it is easy to worry about safety, frozen pipes, or how long your family will be without heating or cooling. There are a few simple steps you can take while you contact our team.

First, check that your thermostat is set to the correct mode and temperature and that the fan setting matches your usual preference. Sometimes a bumped button or low batteries can create problems that are easy to fix. Next, make sure the equipment has power by checking your electrical panel for a tripped breaker. If the breaker has tripped more than once, it is safer to leave it off and have a technician investigate.

If you hear loud grinding or popping sounds, notice a burning smell, or see smoke, turn the system off right away. Continuing to run a unit with those symptoms can cause further damage. In winter, you may be able to rely on supplemental heat sources for a short time while help is on the way, but always follow manufacturer and safety instructions for any backup heaters you use.

Here are safe steps to take before and while you call us:

• Confirm your thermostat settings and replace batteries if needed
• Check your breaker panel for a tripped breaker to the heat pump
• Look for obvious issues outdoors, such as heavy debris blocking the unit
• Turn off the system if you notice burning smells or harsh mechanical noises
• Call our office so we can guide you and schedule service as soon as possible

When you contact Shearer Heating, A/C & Refrigeration, you reach a real person, even after hours. We provide 24/7 emergency service in Washington and offer same-day appointments when our schedule allows, so you are not left waiting for days without a solution. We also provide free estimates, which helps you understand the likely cost and scope of work before giving us the go-ahead.

Our Heat Pump Repair Processin Washington  

Understanding what will happen during a service visit can make the situation feel far less overwhelming. When you call us, our office team will ask a few questions about your heat pump, what you are experiencing, and where you are located. We use that information to schedule a service window and match your issue with a technician who regularly works on similar systems.

🔹On the day of your appointment, our technician arrives within the agreed window, introduces themselves, and reviews the problem with you in plain language. They perform a thorough inspection of the indoor and outdoor components, electrical connections, and controls. Once the source of the issue has been identified, we explain what we found, what it means in everyday terms, and what options you have to move forward.

🔹Before any repair begins, we provide clear pricing and discuss parts, expected timelines, and how the repair may affect any existing manufacturer coverage. Our trucks are stocked with many common components, so in many cases we can complete the work in a single visit. If a special part is required, we explain the order process and scheduling so you know what to expect.

🔹Throughout the visit, we take care to protect your Washington home by wearing appropriate coverings, working neatly, and cleaning up our workspace when the job is done. Once the repair is complete, we test the system, walk you through any changes, and answer your questions. Our technicians do not rush out the door until you are comfortable with how your system is operating.

We stand behind our work with a 3-year workmanship warranty on labor. Where applicable, we also help you understand and use a 10-year manufacturers warranty on equipment components. Our satisfaction guarantee means we work to address concerns that may arise after the visit, and our goal is to leave you feeling confident enough in our service that you will call us again when you need help in the future.
