What Heating & Heat Pump Service Includes

Tampa Bay homes heat with heat pumps, not furnaces. A heat pump is the same system that cools the house, run in reverse, with electric heat strips in the air handler as backup. Heating repair from Nolan Air covers the reversing valve, defrost control, heat strips and their sequencers, the outdoor fan and compressor in heating mode, the thermostat's heat and emergency-heat settings, and the air handler blower. We also handle heat pump replacement and installation, and we service the small number of gas and electric furnaces in the area.

Common heating symptoms: heater not working, heat pump blowing cold air, no heat at all, heat pump stuck in defrost, thermostat showing "aux heat" or "emergency heat" constantly, a burning smell the first time the heat runs (usually dust on the heat strips, but worth checking), and an outdoor unit iced over.

Why Heating Service Matters in Florida

Heating gets used a few weeks a year in Hillsborough County, which is exactly why it fails when it is needed. Heat strips corrode from sitting idle in humid air, sequencers stick, and reversing valves seize. When a cold front arrives, the heat has not run in nine months and the first call of the season reveals the problem. A heat pump also affects summer performance — a reversing valve that leaks internally reduces cooling capacity too. Having heating mode checked during fall maintenance avoids the January surprise.

How Nolan Air Handles Heating Service

Nolan Air services heat pumps and air handlers from all major manufacturers. Because most Florida heating problems are electrical (strips, sequencers, relays, thermostats), repairs are usually completed the same visit. For replacement, we size the heat pump for cooling first, since that is 90% of its work in Ruskin, and confirm the heat strip kit matches the home's electrical service. Heat pump replacements may qualify for utility rebates; we check the current program requirements for your home and equipment.

Heating & Heat Pump Service FAQs — Ruskin

Why is my heat pump blowing cold air in Ruskin?

It may be in defrost mode (normal, brief), the reversing valve may be stuck, the heat strips may have failed, or refrigerant may be low. A diagnostic tells which.

Do I need a furnace in Hillsborough County?

Almost never. A heat pump with heat strips is the standard here and handles Florida winters. We install furnaces only where gas is already present and the homeowner prefers it.

What is "emergency heat" on my thermostat?

It forces the air handler to use only the electric heat strips, bypassing the heat pump. It is expensive to run and should only be used if the heat pump has failed.

Can you check my heating during an AC tune-up?

Yes. Ask for heating mode to be tested at your fall maintenance visit.
