Heat Pump Repairs & Installations
Heat pump service and full installs sized for Kansas City's swing seasons.
A heat pump has to do two jobs well in a climate that swings from ice storms to humidity, which is exactly why installation quality matters more here than it does further south. Gorman's Heating & Cooling repairs and installs heat pumps across the Kansas City metro, including dual-fuel systems paired with a gas furnace for the coldest stretch of winter.
On repair calls we look at reversing valves that stick in one mode, defrost boards and sensors that leave the outdoor coil iced over, low-charge conditions that quietly kill capacity, failed auxiliary heat strips, and outdoor units that ice up because they were set too low to the ground. Heat pump symptoms are easy to misread, so we confirm the fault with readings rather than assumptions.
On installations we start with the house, not the catalog: a load calculation, a look at the existing duct system and returns, and a conversation about how you actually use the place. An oversized system short-cycles, never dehumidifies, and wears out early. A correctly sized system is quieter, cheaper to run, and lasts longer.
As an Authorized American Standard Dealer we install matched, warrantied heat pump systems, and we can add Nexia or Honeywell controls so the changeover between compressor and backup heat happens where it should. Financing is available, and every install is commissioned with documented charge and airflow readings.
- Outdoor unit stays coated in ice through a cold spell
- Backup heat strips run constantly and the electric bill spikes
- System heats but never cools, or cools but never heats
