Repairs for hilltop Summit homes
Summit sits on a ridge at about 374 feet and is the northernmost city in Union County. Its leafy streets and larger homes shape how a heat pump works here, from wind-exposed yards to houses that run more than one system.
Exposed yards
Winter wind on higher ground can drive snow into an outdoor unit and block its coil.
Heavy leaf fall
Mature street trees drop leaves and seed pods that clog coils and fan guards.
Multiple zones
Larger homes often run several zones, so one cold floor can be a single failed control.

Summit heat pump questions
Why has only one floor of my Summit home lost heat?
With multiple zones or systems, one thermostat, zone damper or control can fail while the rest keep running. Check that floor’s thermostat and filter, then call with what you see.
How do I keep leaves away from my heat pump?
Clear at least a couple of feet around the unit through autumn and rinse the coil gently with the power off. Avoid full winter covers, because a heat pump has to run through the cold months.
