Cool, Efficient Comfort With Expert AC & Heat Pump Services
Your home should be your sanctuary from West Virginia's sweltering summers, not another place to sweat. Since 1970, Grogg's technicians have been rescuing overheated homeowners across West Virginia and Pennsylvania with cooling solutions that actually last. We understand that when temperatures climb, you need more than temporary fixes—you need a cooling partner who treats your comfort as seriously as you do.
For simple check ups, regular AC maintenance costs $75 to $200. Extended service contracts range in price from $150 to $500 and cover the whole HVAC system, including both heating and cooling. An HVAC specialist will cost $50 to $150 per hour for repairs that are not part of a normal service.
Cleaning the condenser and completing a series of tests to ensure your system is operating correctly are normally included in a service appointment. They'll also look for additional concerns that need to be addressed. Evaporator coil and duct cleaning aren't normally included in standard AC tuneups.
The majority of HVAC specialists believe that your unit should be maintained twice a year. Once in the spring to ensure that you keep cool during the summer, and once in the autumn to ensure that your heating system is in good working order. There are several benefits to having your air conditioner serviced on a regular basis, not the least of which is that it will save you money. You might not realize there's a problem until it's much worse and more expensive to correct if you don't get the unit serviced.
One of the most significant advantages of heat pumps is that they provide both cooling and heating in one system. In the summer, it provides high-efficiency cooling, and in the winter, it provides effective heating. A reversing valve in the heat pump changes the flow of refrigerant to warm your house. Heat pumps are also less expensive to operate than combustion-based systems. The larger the long-term energy savings, the more energy-efficient the systems are. And finally, heat pumps are less maintenance-intensive than traditional heating systems. Some system details must be examined on a regular basis, once a year, and this may be done easily by yourself. A professional installation, on the other hand, must inspect the system every three to five years.
Dealing with problems related to the refrigerant system, including leaks or low levels, is the most typical heat pump repair. Leaks in the refrigerant might result in less efficient heating or cooling of the system, which is essential for heat transfer. To restore ideal heat pump operation, HVAC specialists identify the leak's source, fix any damaged parts, and recharge the refrigerant. Frequent maintenance ensures effective operation by preventing typical heat pump issues like refrigerant leakage.
Routine maintenance tasks for a heat pump include:
- Regular filter replacement: Clean filters ensure efficient airflow.
- Coil cleaning: Keep indoor and outdoor coils free of dirt and debris to maintain efficiency.
- Check refrigerant levels: Ensure proper refrigerant charge for optimal heat transfer.
- Inspect ductwork: Check for leaks, gaps, or blockages to maximize airflow.
- Lubricate moving parts: Lubricate motors, bearings, and other moving components to reduce friction and wear.
- Test thermostat: Verify accurate temperature control for comfort and efficiency.
Scheduled maintenance ensures optimal heat pump performance and longevity.

What Is SEER?
For efficiency and performance, when looking for a new system you will probably hear the term SEER. A Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating tells how efficient the cooling is in a heat pump or air conditioner. The higher the number, the higher the unit efficiency.
An additional rating for heat pumps is called the Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. Heat pumps are similar to a conventional air conditioner, providing cooling in the same way. However, they are also capable of heating your home, and the HSPF will measure that heating efficiency. An easy way to save up to 60% on energy usage when warming your home is by switching from a furnace and AC combo to a heat pump.
Our available air conditioners and heat pumps come in various efficiency ratings depending on your preferred cost/performance balance.
