Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling from one system, and they're increasingly common in Massachusetts homes. Stardust HVAC repairs, installs, and replaces heat pumps for homes and businesses in Lawrence and the surrounding area.
Heat Pump Repair
Common heat pump problems include not heating or cooling, excessive ice on the outdoor unit, a system stuck in one mode, short cycling, or unusual noises. Causes can include defrost control issues, reversing valve problems, refrigerant-side issues, or electrical failures.
Heat Pump Installation
Heat pumps come in ducted and ductless configurations. Ducted heat pumps can use existing ductwork, while ductless systems are a good fit for homes without ducts. We'll help you choose a cold-climate model suited to New England winters and size it correctly for your home.
Heat Pump Replacement
If your heat pump is older or struggling to keep up, a newer model may offer better performance in cold weather. We'll compare repair and replacement options with you.
Heat Pumps With Backup Heat
Some homes pair a heat pump with an existing furnace or boiler. This setup lets the heat pump handle most of the load while the existing system covers the coldest days. We can discuss whether this approach makes sense for your home.

Heat Pump Services FAQs
Do heat pumps work in Massachusetts winters?
Cold-climate heat pumps are designed to operate in low temperatures. Some homes also keep a backup heating system.
Is it normal for my heat pump to have frost on it?
Light frost is normal and should clear in defrost cycles. Heavy ice that doesn't clear needs service.
Can a heat pump replace my air conditioner?
Yes. A heat pump provides cooling like an air conditioner and also provides heat.
