Heat Pumps in Columbia: what's different
Heat Pumps work in Columbia follows the local climate. Heat pumps fit hot-humid climates well because winters are mild, but the long cooling season means the outdoor unit works most of the year and needs its coil kept clean.
Heat pumps are standard, with crawl space homes common in older neighborhoods like Shandon and Rosewood. Many Columbia homes are single-story brick or frame houses from the 1950s to the 1980s, with crawl space ductwork and heat pumps or gas furnaces. Newer subdivisions in Northeast Columbia and Harbison have two-story homes, often with two systems. Older crawl space ducts are frequently uninsulated or disconnected, which wastes cooling during long summers.
The heat pumps services Columbia homeowners ask for most are heat Pump Repair. Reversing valve, defrost and auxiliary heat problems.
The City of Columbia issues mechanical permits inside city limits, and Richland and Lexington counties handle surrounding areas. Because summers are long and intense, schedule AC service in March and check filters monthly from May through September.
