Jon-Wayne Company is a single-location, locally owned HVAC contractor at 203 Interstate 30 West, Mount Vernon, TX. We are not affiliated with similarly named companies in San Antonio or Missouri.

A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one place to another, from indoors to outdoors or from outdoors to indoors. For homes with no access to natural gas, heat pumps offer an efficient and reliable solution for heating and cooling.

Heat Pump Installation in Mount Vernon, TX

We install Carrier heat pumps sized for your home. Depending on your setup, a heat pump can replace both your air conditioner and your furnace, or pair with a gas furnace as a dual-fuel system for the coldest nights. For rooms without ductwork or for additions, ask about ductless heat pump systems.

We also install Carrier geothermal heat pumps, which draw on the steady temperature of the ground instead of outside air. Geothermal costs more to install than an air-source system and needs room for a ground loop, so we start by talking through whether your property is a fit.

Heat Pump Repair

Because a heat pump handles both heating and cooling, a failure leaves you uncomfortable in any season. We repair heat pumps of all types, and we explain the problem before we fix it. Call (903) 537-4531 to schedule service.

Common heat pump problems we repair:

• Not heating, or blowing cool air in heat mode
• Not cooling in summer
• Thick ice that stays on the outdoor unit
• Turning on and off repeatedly
• Backup (auxiliary) heat running constantly
• Loud or unusual noises
• Electric bills higher than they should be

Heat Pump Maintenance and Tune-Ups

A heat pump works year-round, so it wears faster than equipment that rests half the year. A tune-up each spring and fall lets a technician clean the coils, check the fan and controls, and catch problems before they become a no-heat or no-cool call. A well-maintained system can use 10 to 25 percent less energy than a neglected one.

How Do Heat Pumps Work?

In the winter, a heat pump works like a heater, extracting heat energy from outside and transferring it inside. In the summer, the process reverses, and it removes heat from your home and transfers it outside like an air conditioner. Heat pumps do this so well that many people in warmer climates rely on a heat pump exclusively for year-round comfort. For those living in colder climates, an electric-powered heat pump used together with a gas or oil furnace can lower heating costs.

Heat pumps work with a series of coils drawing energy from air, water, or the ground. In this way, they are very environmentally friendly and are one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool your home. They are efficient because they simply transfer heat rather than burn fuel to create it, which makes them a greener alternative to traditional gas or oil furnaces. You may think you are unfamiliar with them, but they traditionally heat swimming pools and hot tubs, so you have most likely come across one without knowing it.

Different Types of Heat Pumps

There are three types of heat pumps: air-to-air, water source, and geothermal. They collect heat from the air, water, or the ground outside your home and concentrate it for use. Call Jon-Wayne Company to discuss the differences between these types and which one would work best for you and your home.

Are Heat Pumps Expensive?

Installation costs of heat pumps are higher than with a traditional furnace or air conditioner, but the savings over time in annual energy costs make up the difference in five to ten years. Proper operation and maintenance will also save you money, because you will use less energy.

Be sure to ask your HVAC professional for the proper thermostat setting and indoor fan operation. Not following the recommended guidelines can keep the pump from running at its best and can wear down the unit itself. Consistent filter changing or cleaning is necessary for a well-running heat pump, and seasonal cleaning of coils and fans goes a long way in preventing poor energy efficiency. The energy difference between a well-maintained system and a neglected one can be anywhere from 10 to 25 percent.

The right type of heat pump depends on the geography and climate around your Mount Vernon, TX home or business. To talk it through, call (903) 537-4531 or request service online for an evaluation.

Heat Pump FAQs for Mount Vernon Homeowners

Do heat pumps work in Northeast Texas winters?

Yes. Winters here are mild enough that many homes rely on a heat pump for year-round comfort. For the coldest nights, some homeowners pair a heat pump with a gas furnace in a dual-fuel setup. We will tell you which approach fits your home.

Are heat pumps cheaper to run than a furnace and air conditioner?

A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel, so it uses less energy for the same comfort. Installation costs more than a traditional furnace or AC, and the energy savings typically make up the difference in five to ten years, depending on your rates and your home.

What is the difference between a heat pump and an air conditioner?

Both cool your home by moving heat outside. A heat pump can also reverse and bring heat inside in winter, so one system covers heating and cooling.

Why is my heat pump blowing cool air in heat mode?

Some of that is normal. During a defrost cycle the unit briefly sends cool air indoors. If it keeps blowing cool air, the cause may be a thermostat setting, low refrigerant, or a failed component. Call (903) 537-4531 to have it checked.

Is ice on my heat pump a problem?

A thin layer of frost in cold, damp weather is normal, and the unit melts it on its own. Thick ice that stays for hours means something is wrong. Turn the system off and call us.

How long does a heat pump last?

An air-source heat pump typically lasts about 15 years with regular maintenance.

Do you offer financing for a heat pump?

Yes. We offer financing options with quick approvals. Read about financing HVAC equipment, or ask when you request an estimate.
