How Do Heat Pumps Work?
Heat pumps are like air conditioners in that they use refrigerant to provide home comfort.
When set to cooling mode, your heat pump will use refrigerant to absorb heat from indoor air and transfer it outside.
When in heating mode, it removes the heat from the air outside your home to warm the interior.
Because a heat pump doesn’t generate heat like a furnace or boiler, it’s significantly more energy-efficient and safe.
Heat Pump Installation & Replacement
You can expect your heat pump to last 10 to 15 years with normal use and routine maintenance. Blue Bear Plumbing, Heating & Air provides expert heat pump installation and will test your system to ensure proper heating and cooling function.
If you already rely on a heat pump for your home comfort, consider a replacement if your system:
- Is over 10 years old
- Needs frequent or costly repairs
- Generates higher utility costs
Heat Pump Repair
Blue Bear Plumbing, Heating & Air can identify and resolve your heat pump issue, whether it’s normal wear and tear or a complete breakdown. We offer comprehensive heat pump repairs, including emergency 24/7 repairs. Signs your system may need to be repaired include:
- The system producing warm air when it’s set to cool
- The system producing cool air when it’s set to heat

- Refrigerant leaks
Heat Pump Maintenance
The best way to keep your heat pump running reliably is to schedule routine maintenance.

- Identify and address small issues before they impact your comfort
- Reduce the risk of breakdowns
- Improve energy efficiency
- Maximize the unit’s lifespan

Geothermal Heat Pump Installation & Repair
Geothermal systems collect and transfer heat from the ground, while air-source heat pumps transfer heat from the air. Both are highly effective, energy-efficient processes that can heat your home in the winter and keep it cool in the summer. While each system is different, it’s not uncommon for geothermal heat pumps to deliver efficiencies ranging from 300% to 600%.
Our trained and certified technicians can provide a full range of services, including:
- Geothermal heat pump installation: We can install either a horizontal or vertical ground loop, ductwork, and the heat pump wire and then connect every aspect of your system. We carefully plan every stage of the process, secure the necessary permits, and use the latest techniques and technologies to complete the installation quickly and with minimal disruption to your home and schedule.
- Geothermal heat pump replacement: These systems can last anywhere from 20 to 25 years, and underground systems can even last 25 to 50 years. When your system ages out or no longer functions properly, we’ll help you identify and install the most suitable replacement.
- Geothermal heat pump repair: We can repair leaks, replace broken or damaged fan blades, remove scale buildup, replace broken or stuck valves, replace motors, and more. We use only high-quality components with a proven track record of reliability.
- Geothermal heat pump maintenance: Our technicians can change air filters, inspect and clean condensation pans and drains, repair damaged ductwork, reprogram thermostats, inspect the ground loop, and more.
