#1 Heat Pump Repair in Milton, DE with over 200 local 5-star reviews


Your heat pump is more than a heat source. When you need year-round temperature assurance, call for quality repair!

Living in Milton, DE, means relishing the mild summers that rarely spike above 87 degrees and bearable winters that usually dip no lower than 28 degrees. These lenient temperatures allow residents to opt for heat pumps rather than air conditioners or furnaces that produce stronger controlled indoor climates.

However, if the system’s cry for a heat pump repair goes unnoticed, these moderate outdoor conditions quickly become indoor discomforts. Don’t receive the sting of summer or the cold shoulder of winter. Call Top Flight Heating & Air to keep your system efficient, utilities low, and home pleasant.

When Should You Consider a Home Heat Pump Repair?

In Milton, mild outdoor temperatures allow plenty of warm air to exist in the cooler months, which the system pulls in. After separating and ejecting the cool air, the pump releases the warm air into your living quarters. Similarly, the reversing valve lets warm air out during the summer by separating air rather than creating desired temperatures.

This separation causes heat pumps to burn less than a furnace or AC. But if you’re noticing larger energy bills, your system may be working harder to compensate for an internal issue.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the only sign that you need a heat pump repair. Other indications you need a home heat pump repair include the following:

  • Rattling noises point to loose parts, like bad motor bearings and unsecured screws. Squeaking or grinding sounds indicate shifting or dirt and grime buildup, which causes parts to rub against one another.
  • Limited cool air occurs with dirty filters obstructing airflow, so change or clean your filters each season. A refrigerant leak, frozen evaporator coils, and leaky air ducts restrict both cool and warm air.
  • Hot air means the reversing valve isn’t switching the flow of warm air, and the refrigerant is still flowing to the outdoor coil for evaporation.
  • Short-cycling signals a malfunctioning thermostat.  If your thermostat is set to your desired temperature but turns off before reaching it, there’s possibly a battery or wiring concern. A faulty compressor could also be the cause.
  • Refusing to turn on completely means frayed or detached wires, shortcircuiting, or tripped breakers. It may also point to broken or loose components.

What Do Heat Pump Repair Companies Cover in a Heat Pump System Repair?

Cleaning Blockages

A Milton heat pump system repair begins with a basic check for obstructions and dirt that tends to cause systems to break down prematurely. That includes clearing your filters and air ducts of debris.

They’ll also clean buildup in the outdoor condenser units and on the coils and blower fans in the air handler. While debris in the drain line and pan are also concerning, clearing the stagnant water is more crucial with possible algae, mold, and mildew growth.

Keeping Moving Parts Moving

Heat pump repair companies will also lubricate your blower motor to prevent it from drying out and making screeching noises as it runs. It’ll also prevent it from overheating and giving out, leading to a pricey replacement.

They’ll secure belts by sealing them and tighten bolts and screws around moving parts that shake loose over time. They’ll also check your refrigerant supply to ensure it’s not low. Otherwise, they’ll fill it to keep quality air flowing in and out of your home.

Other Checkpoints

During a heat pump repair, a technician will also:

  • Check the thermostat to ensure an accurate reading
  • Examine the heat sensors
  • Test the reversing valve to see whether it switches on command

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


How Often Should I Call for Heat Pump Repair Service?

Heat pumps work all year round for most Milton residents. As a high-profile heating and cooling unit, call for heat pump repair services at least once a year to ensure readiness for both summer and winter use.

When Do I Replace My Filters?

Filter replacements should occur no less than every three months. If you live in an area with lots of pet or animal dander, pollution, or poor air quality, consider changing them each month for optimal airflow. If you choose to clean your filters, use water, a mild dish soap, and a gentle brush to scrub the impurities off the mesh.

Just bought a house and wanted the Heat Pump serviced before the winter months came in. Called Top Flight and was greeted with a friendly voice and was able to schedule promptly and when my technician arrived he was very gracious and polite. The unit was older about 18 years so I expected some issues, was pleasantly surprised that not bad at all. Gave me options and actually cheaper than I expected. Will definitely call them again when I need service!

Tyler came today to do the preseason check-up. He was right on time - literally to the minute. Polite, attentive. (I have a very new and nervous foster dog and he was very sensitive to her special issues). He checked out the heating equipment for my house; changed the filter; and I have every confidence I am ready for winter.

Tyler and Joseph came by today to do some follow-up work. They were on schedule and on time. They did a great job and I very much appreciate the work they did. Now my house is ready for encapsulation. Once the encapsulation is complete, and with my new AC/Heat system, both will add some great value and comfort to my home. Thanks TFH&A!

It was refreshing to find a local business that is both professional and customer service focused. Staff are very personable and get the job done quickly. No hard up-sell tricks during the service call... something that seems to be the norm with many other companies who force their service personel to try to generate extra income. We were impressed enough to switch all of our HVAC service contracts to Top Flight.
