Pittston, PA 18640
One system that cools your home in July and heats it in January, at two to three times the efficiency of electric resistance heat — that's the heat pump case in plain terms. Our licensed Pittston contractors size cold-climate systems properly, configure balance points for dual-fuel setups, and back installations with real commissioning, not just a swap-and-go. Around Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, oil heat and converted coal systems are still everywhere, and technicians need to actually know them.
Pittston's Wyoming Valley perch between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre is anthracite heritage in housing form — compact, sturdy, and heated by systems long since converted from coal. Oil remains common, and winters are unforgiving.
We dispatch throughout Pittston — covering 18640 — with priority routing for urgent calls.
Heat pump pricing spans a wide range: a standard-efficiency unit replacing a central AC sits near AC-replacement cost, while cold-climate variable-speed systems cost more but qualify for federal tax credits worth up to $2,000 under Section 25C, plus periodic Pennsylvania utility rebates. Dual-fuel setups let you keep your furnace for the deepest cold and run the heat pump the rest of the season — often the best economics in Pennsylvania.
From rowhomes and radiators to new construction, our pros work on this region's housing every day.

It depends on your electric and gas rates. At typical Pennsylvania prices, heat pumps clearly beat oil, propane, and electric baseboard on operating cost; against natural gas it's closer, which is why many Pittston homeowners choose dual-fuel — the heat pump handles mild and moderate weather, the furnace takes the coldest snaps.
Aux heat should engage during defrost and extreme cold. If it runs constantly in ordinary winter weather, suspect an undersized or under-charged heat pump, a faulty outdoor sensor, or thermostat staging set wrong. Because aux strips cost several times more per hour to run, this is worth fixing quickly.
In most cases, yes — a heat pump uses the same ductwork and a similar footprint, cooling identically in summer while adding efficient heating. If your AC is due for replacement anyway, the incremental cost of choosing a heat pump is often modest, especially after tax credits.
Typically 12–15 years, similar to a central AC, because they run year-round. Annual maintenance — coil cleaning, refrigerant verification, defrost testing — meaningfully extends that in Pennsylvania's four-season climate.
A smart thermostat with remote monitoring and low-temperature alerts is the essential first step, set no lower than 50–55°F. Pair it with annual heating maintenance before the season and, ideally, a temperature/leak sensor that notifies your phone. A furnace failure in an empty cabin becomes a five-figure pipe disaster within a day or two.
