Heat Pump Installation and Repair Services

Complete heat pump installation, repair, and maintenance in Gardnerville, Nevada

When you need both heating and cooling from a single system, a heat pump provides year-round climate control without the need for separate equipment. In Gardnerville, heat pumps are an efficient option for residential and commercial properties because they transfer heat instead of generating it, which reduces energy consumption compared to traditional furnaces and air conditioners. RUBICON REFRIGERATION HVAC LLC installs and services heat pump systems that provide both heating and cooling from a single unit.

We install and service heat pump systems that provide both heating and cooling from a single unit. Heat pumps are an efficient option for Nevada's climate and are suitable for residential and commercial properties. Our services include repair, replacement, and performance optimization. After installation, your property will maintain consistent indoor temperatures throughout the year, and you will see lower energy bills compared to using separate heating and cooling systems. The heat pump will switch between heating and cooling modes automatically based on your thermostat settings.

How Heat Pumps Operate Year-Round

Heat pumps work by transferring heat from one location to another rather than burning fuel or using electric resistance coils. During the cooling season in Gardnerville, the system moves heat from inside your property to the outdoors. During the heating season, it reverses the process and extracts heat from the outdoor air, even when temperatures drop below freezing. The reversing valve inside the unit controls which direction the refrigerant flows, allowing the system to switch between heating and cooling modes.

After we install or repair your heat pump, you will notice that the system responds quickly to thermostat changes, maintains even temperatures in all rooms, and operates quietly during both heating and cooling cycles. Your monthly energy bills will decrease compared to using a traditional furnace and air conditioner, especially if the old system relied on electric resistance heating.

We also provide repair services for heat pumps that are not heating or cooling properly. Common issues include refrigerant leaks, malfunctioning reversing valves, dirty coils, and faulty defrost controls. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the outdoor coil, checking refrigerant levels, and testing the defrost cycle to confirm the system operates efficiently during cold weather.

Here Are Some Common Concerns

Heat pumps operate differently than traditional HVAC systems, so property owners often have questions about how they perform in colder weather and whether they are suitable for year-round use. These are the questions we hear most often during consultations and service calls.

Can a heat pump provide enough heat during winter in Gardnerville?
Yes, modern heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently in temperatures well below freezing. They extract heat from the outdoor air even when it feels cold outside. If temperatures drop extremely low, the system may use a backup heating element to maintain indoor comfort.
How does a heat pump compare to a furnace and air conditioner?
A heat pump provides both heating and cooling from a single unit, which reduces installation and maintenance costs. It uses less energy than electric resistance heating and operates more efficiently than older furnace and air conditioner combinations.
What are the most common reasons a heat pump stops working?
Most heat pump failures we see in Gardnerville are caused by low refrigerant levels, dirty coils, faulty reversing valves, or malfunctioning defrost controls. Regular maintenance prevents many of these issues and extends the lifespan of the system.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my heat pump?
We recommend scheduling maintenance twice per year, once before the cooling season and once before the heating season. This allows us to inspect the system when it is not in heavy use and address any issues before they affect performance.
Can you install a heat pump in a property that currently has a furnace?
Yes, we can replace an existing furnace and air conditioner with a heat pump system. We evaluate your ductwork and electrical service to confirm compatibility and make any necessary modifications during installation.
