Heating and Cooling From a Single System

Heat Pump Service

A heat pump works by transferring heat rather than generating it, which makes it one of the most energy-efficient options for homes in our region. In the summer, it pulls heat out of your home like an air conditioner. In the winter, it reverses the process and pulls heat from the outdoor air into your home. Because Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas have moderate winters with temperatures that rarely stay below freezing for extended periods, heat pumps can serve as a primary heating and cooling system for many homes here.

 

Girdner Heat and Air provides heat pump installation, repair, replacement, and maintenance throughout our two-state service area. We work with all major heat pump brands, including Carrier, Trane, York, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, and Daikin. According to the Department of Energy, heat pumps can reduce electricity use for heating by approximately 50% compared to electric resistance heating like furnaces and baseboard heaters. That translates to real savings on your utility bills every month.

Heat Pump Installation

Choosing the right heat pump starts with understanding your home. We evaluate your square footage, insulation levels, duct system, and local climate data to select a system that provides reliable heating and cooling without wasting energy. Heat pumps come in several configurations, and the right one depends on your home’s specific setup.

 

We install ducted heat pumps that connect to your existing ductwork for whole-home comfort, as well as ductless mini-split heat pumps for homes without ducts, room additions, or supplemental zones. For homeowners who need backup heating during the coldest stretches of winter, we also install dual fuel systems that pair a heat pump with a gas furnace, automatically switching between the two based on outdoor temperature for maximum efficiency. Every installation includes a load calculation, proper refrigerant charge, and a full system test before we leave.

Heat Pump Repair

Heat pumps share many components with air conditioners, but they also have additional parts like a reversing valve, defrost controls, and supplemental heating elements that require specific knowledge to diagnose. If your heat pump is not heating, not cooling, running constantly, short cycling, icing up, or making unusual noises, our technicians can pinpoint the issue and give you a clear repair plan with upfront pricing.

 

We carry common heat pump parts on our trucks so many repairs can be completed the same day you call. Common issues we see include failed reversing valves, defrost board malfunctions, refrigerant leaks, and frozen outdoor coils. If a repair does not make financial sense given the age and condition of your system, we will let you know and help you weigh replacement options with no pressure.

Heat Pump Replacement

If your heat pump is 15 years or older, requires frequent repairs, or no longer keeps your home comfortable, replacing it with a modern high-efficiency unit can significantly reduce your energy costs. Heat pump technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, and newer models maintain heating output at lower outdoor temperatures than older units could handle.

 

We help you compare replacement options and choose a system that balances efficiency, comfort, and budget. Our replacement service includes removal of the old equipment, installation of the new heat pump, refrigerant charging, duct connection and sealing, thermostat setup, and a full performance test. We also offer flexible financing through FTL Finance and Wisetack with payment plans starting at $118 a month, and Wisetack offers 0% interest options on qualifying purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Heat Pump Service

Can a heat pump work as my only heating and cooling system?

For many homes in Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas, yes. Our moderate climate allows heat pumps to serve as the primary system for both heating and cooling. During the occasional deep freeze, a dual fuel setup that pairs the heat pump with a gas furnace provides backup heating so you are never left without warmth.

An air conditioner only cools. A heat pump cools in the summer and heats in the winter by reversing the refrigerant cycle. Both use similar components, but a heat pump includes a reversing valve and defrost controls that allow it to extract heat from outdoor air even when temperatures drop. In cooling mode, a heat pump works exactly like a standard air conditioner.

A well-maintained heat pump typically lasts 15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round for both heating and cooling, they log more operating hours than a system that only runs one season. Regular maintenance is essential to reaching full lifespan. Our maintenance plan includes two tune-ups per year to keep your heat pump performing its best.

A dual fuel system combines a heat pump with a gas furnace. The heat pump handles heating during mild weather when it is most efficient. When temperatures drop below a set point, the system automatically switches to the gas furnace for more powerful heating. This gives you the efficiency of a heat pump with the reliability of a furnace during the coldest days of winter.

Yes. We install, repair, and maintain heat pumps from all major manufacturers, including Carrier, Trane, York, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, Daikin, and Ruud. Whether your system is ducted, ductless, or dual fuel, our technicians have the training and tools to service it.
