A heat pump moves heat rather than making it. In winter it pulls heat from outside air and delivers it indoors; in summer it reverses and works as an air conditioner. One piece of equipment covers both seasons, which is why heat pumps come up so often when Eastern Pennsylvania homeowners replace an aging oil or propane furnace.

Diagnosis and repair of uneven heating and cooling, short cycling, weak airflow, unusual noises or odors, and rising energy bills, plus scheduled maintenance that keeps the system efficient and prevents the costly failures that follow neglect.
Heat Pump RepairNew heat pump installs and replacement of systems that are old or no longer running efficiently. We assess your current setup, recommend the right system for the building, and handle the installation from first measurement to startup.
Heat Pump InstallationThese are the symptoms our technicians hear about most often before a heat pump call.
Heat pumps have become a common replacement path in Southeast Pennsylvania for reasons that go beyond the equipment itself.
Heat pump installations also carry the largest available incentive stack. The federal 25C tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act covers qualifying heat pump installations placed in service after January 1, 2023, claimed on IRS Form 5695, and utility rebates are available through PPL Electric Utilities, Met-Ed, and PECO depending on your service territory. Consult your tax advisor to confirm your eligibility. Countryside provides the equipment documentation you will need.
Contact UsHeat pumps are sized the same way we size any cooling equipment: with a Manual J load calculation performed in the home, not a rule of thumb from square footage. Getting that number right matters more on a heat pump than on most systems, because the same equipment has to satisfy both a heating load and a cooling load.
Our EPA Section 608-certified technicians recover refrigerant from the outgoing system in compliance with federal regulations, inspect the existing line set for leaks and sizing, complete the electrical work to code, and pressure-test the refrigerant circuit before charging. After startup we verify airflow, check charge against manufacturer spec, and confirm static pressure sits within duct design limits.
If your building has no ductwork, or has rooms the ducts never reached, a ductless system may fit better. See our mini-split services. For a straight cooling replacement, see our air conditioning services.

That is the main reason people install them. A heat pump transfers heat from outside air to warm the home in winter and reverses the process to cool it in summer, so a single system covers both. Eliminating the need for separate heating and cooling equipment also removes a second set of maintenance and repair costs. Our technicians confirm during the in-home assessment whether one system can carry your building on its own.
Five indicators are worth a call: uneven heating or cooling between rooms, a jump in energy bills without a change in usage, unusual noises or odors, frequent short cycling, and reduced airflow at the vents. Each one points at a different cause, from refrigerant and compressor problems to a dirty filter, a failing blower motor, or a duct issue.
Qualifying heat pump installations placed in service after January 1, 2023 are eligible for the federal 25C tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act, filed using IRS Form 5695 with your annual return. Utility rebates are also available through PPL Electric Utilities, Met-Ed, and PECO depending on your service territory. Eligibility and amounts are set by each program, so confirm current offers before equipment is ordered and consult your tax advisor on your specific situation.
With a Manual J load calculation performed in your home. Manual J accounts for ceiling height, insulation R-value, window area, roof color, orientation, and occupancy rather than working from square footage alone. We review Manual S for equipment selection and Manual D for duct design when ductwork is part of the project. Correct sizing is what keeps the system from short cycling and protects the manufacturer warranty.
