HEAT PUMPS
Heat pumps. Cool all summer, warm when it counts.
A heat pump cools like an air conditioner and also heats on cooler nights. OBC Air & Heat repairs, services and replaces residential heat pumps across Brevard County, and recommends in writing after a home review.
WHAT TO NOTICE
Start with the details that matter.
Heat pumps can provide both cooling and heating, which makes the system mode, thermostat response and seasonal behavior important details to share. A heat-pump concern can look like weak cooling, a heating issue, unusual run time, humidity changes, water, ice or a system that does not respond. OBC Air & Heat provides a residential path to request service or explore replacement options without guessing at the cause online.
During a heat-pump service visit, OBC reviews the concern, the system mode and the home-comfort pattern you describe. For a replacement request, the home, current equipment type and comfort priorities are reviewed before written pricing or equipment options are discussed.
Cooling or heating that does not match the thermostat setting
A system that seems to run differently after a mode change
Ice, water, unusual sounds or poor airflow
A homeowner planning a heat-pump replacement or new installation
What happens when you request help
Before the visit, you do not need to diagnose the system or take equipment apart. A complete request simply tells OBC Air & Heat what changed, when it started, which rooms are affected and any safe, visible detail you noticed. That information helps the team arrive with a clearer starting point. If the concern involves smoke, sparks, a burning odor or water near electrical components, move away from the equipment and call emergency services before submitting a request.
OBC Air & Heat serves homeowners across Space Coast / Brevard County, including Melbourne, Palm Bay, Viera, Rockledge, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, Indialantic, and nearby residential communities. Availability is confirmed after the request is reviewed.
Home type and access notes
Heat pumps may be installed in single-family homes, condos and manufactured homes. Equipment location, access, ducts and electrical context vary. Let OBC know the property type, the current system type if known and whether the concern involves cooling, heating or both.
When you submit a request, share the home type, city, system type if known and any details you can observe from a safe distance. That helps OBC Air & Heat prepare for the property before a service visit or written-quote review.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Heat Pumps FAQs
Is a heat pump different from central AC?
A heat pump can provide cooling and heating. The equipment and controls need a professional review before a diagnosis or replacement recommendation is made.
Should I change settings repeatedly if it is not working?
Use the thermostat setting once, give the system time to respond and note what happens. Avoid opening equipment, resetting breakers or changing wiring.
Can I request a heat-pump quote?
Yes. Use Get a Quote when planning an upgrade or replacement; request service for an active comfort or safety concern.

Salt air and humidity on the Space Coast
Space Coast systems run most of the year in heavy humidity, and homes near the beach face salt air that is hard on outdoor coils and metal parts. A few homeowner-safe habits help:
- Keep plants, mulch and storm debris clear of the outdoor unit.
- Check the filter monthly, since Florida systems rarely get a break.
- Watch for water near the air handler, which can mean a clogged condensate drain.
- Tell us if you live beachside, so we know to look closely for corrosion at the visit.
