It took 3 visits/repairs to figure out what was wrong with my hot water heater but they waived the labor for the 3rd repair. I appreciated that.

We hired Riverway Plumbing to install a pressure reducing valve. Due to a previous plumber’s mistake it was a bit more involved than we originally thought but Evan went above and beyond to help us out. Thank You Evan.

Amazing! I ❤️ Riverway! Brandon came out on a Sunday and fixed the pipe that blew out. I was frantic because when the pipe broke it sprayed all over the bathroom. He really saved the day, he was professional, and super nice.

Riverway always does such great work. The capacitor went out on our air conditioner and they had someone out the same day and the repair took maybe 15 minutes. They’re always kind and courteous. We’ve had them out three times for various issues and we keep calling them because they take such good care of us and stand by their work.

F. A. Q

Expert Answers to Your Heat Pump Questions

Heat pumps operate differently than standard HVAC systems, which often leads to questions about their behavior and maintenance. We’ve compiled the most common inquiries from Bloomington residents to help you understand your system better.

A small amount of frost is normal, and your unit has a "defrost mode" to handle it. However, if the unit is encased in heavy ice, it may have a faulty defrost control or a refrigerant leak. If you see significant ice buildup, call for professional service immediately to avoid damaging the fan blades or compressor.

Since heat pumps run almost year-round for both heating and cooling, we recommend professional service twice a year, once in the spring before the cooling season and once in the fall before the heating season. This ensures the components aren't overworked by the constant demand.

Yes! When your heat pump enters its defrost cycle in the winter, it temporarily reverses its operation to melt ice off the outdoor coils. This can release a cloud of steam and make a slight "whooshing" sound. It is a normal part of the system's operation and nothing to worry about unless the steam is accompanied by a burning smell.

Common signs include poor heating or cooling, unusual noises, ice buildup, frequent cycling, higher energy bills, weak airflow, or inconsistent indoor temperatures. A professional inspection can determine the cause of the problem.

Yes. Many heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in a single system, making them an efficient alternative to separate heating and air conditioning equipment for many homes.
