Heating Help That Finds the Fault First in Orlando Homes
Heat pump stuck on cool? Furnace tripping the breaker? January bill twice what it should be? Same crew, same visit. Jormechanical Air repairs, replaces, and tunes up heat pumps and furnaces across Orlando, and the technician who finds the fault is the one who explains it to you.
Heat pumps and furnaces are both everyday work for us. We repair what broke, replace air handlers and whole systems that have run their course, and do fall tune-ups so the first cold night isn't a surprise. One visit gets any of them started.
9 in 10
Florida homes that heat with electricity, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Here, heat means strips or a heat pump.
5 to 20 kW
The usual range of heat strip kits. The number on yours sets the breaker size and the January bill.
3,412 BTUs
The heat one kilowatt of heat strip puts out in an hour. Strips are sized and sold by the kilowatt.
7.5 HSPF2
The lowest heating efficiency federal rules have allowed on a new split heat pump since 2023.
Every Heating Service We Offer in Orlando Homes
Whatever heats your house, its service is on this list, and each line tells you what the visit covers. Can't tell a heat pump from a furnace by looking? Read us the label on the outdoor unit when you book, and we'll arrive already knowing.
Heat Pump Repair.
Strips running all night, cold air in heat mode, an outdoor unit locked in ice. Each one is a part, not a mystery. We find it, show you, and fix only that.
Heat Pump Installation & Replacement.
One system, sized to your house, that cools you in August and warms you in January. Standard and economy priced side by side, and the pick is yours.
Heat Pump Maintenance.
A fall check on the parts summer never touched: the heat strips, defrost cycle, and reversing valve. Done in October, the first cold morning is a non-event.
Furnace Repair.
Starts, then quits. Blows cool. Trips the breaker. Behind each of those is usually one failed part, and we test the ignition, elements, blower, and safety switches to find it.
Furnace Installation & Replacement.
More rust than metal? Then a new furnace or air handler beats one more patch. We match it to your outdoor unit and ducts, with electric heat strips inside for most Orlando homes.
Furnace Maintenance.
One visit a year, before the first cold snap. Elements or burners, blower, wiring, and the safety switches all get checked, so a small fault stays a small bill.
Know which one you need? Book it. Not sure? Book a visit anyway, and our crew will name the part or the problem, then tell you straight whether a repair or a new unit is the better money. Whichever it is, you'll know what's wrong before you decide anything.
Heating Prices in Orlando Without the Guesswork
Repairs start with a diagnostic visit, and the price that follows covers the part that failed and nothing that didn't. A relay or thermostat sits at the low end. A compressor or reversing valve sits at the top.
A whole new system is a different conversation, and we'll have those numbers with us. Expect $10,000 to $25,000 for a standard high-efficiency system by size, or $6,000 to $8,000 for an economy system that costs more to run, and Wisetack financing, subject to credit approval, turns either into monthly payments.
Repair or Replace? Six Signs That Settle It
What We Test Before Recommending a Fix or a New Heating System
A stuck relay is a repair. A dead compressor on a 15-year-old heat pump is a replacement. Most heating faults land somewhere between those two, so here's what tips ours one way or the other. The same reasoning shows up on your estimate, with a price beside each choice.
| Fix the part | Price a new system | |
|---|---|---|
| The part that failed | An element, relay or thermostat | The compressor or reversing valve |
| Age of the air handler | Under about 10 years | Past 15, or rusted inside |
| How the house warms | Comfortable within the hour | Strips run for hours, rooms stay cool |
| Winter power bill | About the same each January | Climbing every year |
| Heat stages working | All of them, after the fix | Only the backup strips |
| The cooling side | Cooled fine all summer | Struggled through last summer too |
What Backs Every Heating Job We Do in Orlando
Licensed, Certified, and Covered After We Leave
Florida License CAC1821345 Covers Heating, Up to 500,000 BTUs
An air conditioning company working on your heat sounds odd until you read the license. Florida's Class B certified contractor license covers heating systems up to 500,000 BTUs, far more than any house needs. Ours is CAC1821345, and the state's license search shows it active.
EPA 608 Certified to Handle Your Heat Pump's Refrigerant
A heat pump burns nothing. It moves heat indoors with refrigerant, the same charge it cools with, and only an EPA 608-certified technician may open that circuit. Ours are certified, so your heat pump's charge is set right and set legally.
One Year of Labor on Installs, 90 Days on Repairs
Install a system in October, and its first cold morning is its first test. Our labor warranty runs a full year from install day, so that whole first winter sits inside it. A repair carries its own 90-day warranty, and the manufacturer's parts warranty runs alongside both.
What Happens Between Your Call and Warm Vents
Repair, replacement, or tune-up, the visit runs in this order.
1. Tell us how the heat's been acting
Ring us or book online, then say what the heat's doing, whether it's slow to warm, smelling hot, or quit outright. Add the system's rough age, and we'll set a day that fits your week, six days out of seven.
2. We find the fault, or measure for a new system
On a repair, our crew tests until the failed part is in hand. On a replacement, we measure the house, check where the air handler sits, and confirm what your panel can carry, since that sets the size.
3. You choose from priced options
Your quote lands by text or email. A repair gets one price; a new system gets the full price on each option, standard and economy, where both fit. Say yes, and we book the day.
4. The visit ends with heat at the vents
Repair or install, we don't leave until you feel heat at the vents. On a new system, you also see how the thermostat runs it, and you'll have the warranty terms in hand.
Book Your Heating Visit Before the First Cold Snap
One Call Sets the Visit, and the Visit Sets Everything Else
Call or book online, tell us how old the system is and how it's been heating, and you'll get a time you can plan around, usually within the same week. We arrive knowing what to look at, so the visit stays short, and the estimate comes out exact.
Have This Ready When You Call
The system's rough age, the brand on the outdoor unit, and what the heat did last winter. A couple of minutes of that saves a second visit. If you've had a recent repair, mention it too, since it changes what we look for.
Heat Back On Before We Pack Up
A repair with the part on the truck finishes that visit. A replacement usually starts in the morning and has heat running by afternoon, so a day without it means a sweater, not a hotel.

Heat Pump and Furnace Questions Orlando Homeowners Ask
Monday to Friday: 7:30 am–5:30 pmSaturday: 7:30 am–2 pmSunday: Closed
Why is my heat pump running constantly in winter?
In Orlando's mild winters, it should cycle off every so often, so nonstop running points to a fault. A clogged filter, a low refrigerant charge, or backup strips stuck on are the usual causes. Change the filter first, and if it keeps running, book a visit.
What temperature do heat pumps stop working in Florida?
They don't stop; they slow down. As outdoor air cools, a heat pump pulls less heat from it, and somewhere in the 30s the backup strips step in to cover the gap. Orlando sees only a handful of nights that cold each year.
Why is my electric bill so high in winter with a heat pump?
Almost always the backup heat strips. Each kilowatt of strip burns a kilowatt-hour every hour it runs, so a 10-kilowatt kit draws several times what the heat pump does. If the strips run more than a few cold mornings, something in the heat pump needs a look.
Do I really need a furnace in Florida?
Most Central Florida homes don't have one and never miss it. A heat pump with backup strips covers the few cold weeks a year on its own. If your house already has a furnace, keeping it serviced costs far less than switching, and we service those too.
Why does my heat smell like burning the first time I turn it on?
Dust. It settles on the heat strips or heat exchanger all summer, then burns off in the first few minutes of heat. Open a window, and it clears. A smell that lasts past the first hour, or smells electrical, means turn it off and call.
How long do heat strips last?
Often as long as the air handler around them, 15 years or more, because they only run a few weeks a year here. Elements tend to fail one at a time, so the first sign is a house that warms slowly. A failed kit gets swapped as a unit.
