Heat Strip and Emergency Heat Repair
Your Backup Heat
Heat strip repair fixes the electric backup heat inside your air handler. Heat strips kick on when the heat pump can't keep up or is in defrost, and they're the only heat when you switch to EM HEAT.
| Heat Strip Problem | What You Notice |
|---|---|
| Broken element | Weak backup heat, cool air during defrost |
| Failed sequencer or relay | Strips won't turn on, or won't turn off |
| Tripped limit switch | Strips cycle off quickly |
| Strips running all the time | High power bill |

Frequently Asked Questions About Heating Repair Near You
Quick Answers
Why Is My Heat Pump Blowing Cold Air?
A heat pump blowing cold air may be in defrost, which is normal for a few minutes. Air that stays cold usually means a reversing valve, refrigerant or outdoor unit problem.
Why Does My Furnace Turn On and Then Off?
A dirty flame sensor is the most common cause. The furnace lights, can't prove the flame and shuts the gas off for safety.
Is It Safe to Use EM HEAT?
Yes, EM HEAT is safe, but it's expensive. Use it only until the heat pump is fixed.
How Fast Can You Fix My Heat?
Many heating repairs are finished the same visit, because common parts ride on the van.
Do You Repair All Brands?
Yes. We repair every major brand of heat pump and furnace.
What Should I Do If I Smell Gas?
Leave the house, don't flip any switches, and call the gas company from outside. Then call us.
Do You Offer After-Hours Heating Repair?
Yes. Call 843-996-8904 for no heat calls after hours.
