The Efficiency Advantages of Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are a perfect year-round solution for the moderate climate of the Alabama Gulf Coast. Since they move heat rather than generate it, they offer incredible efficiency benefits for both heating and cooling.
Why Choose a Heat Pump for your Baldwin County Home?
Dual-Functionality: A single system handles both cooling (like an AC) and heating, making it ideal for mild winters.
Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps use far less energy than traditional furnaces, translating to lower utility bills year-round.
Sustainable Comfort: They are an environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home, reducing your carbon footprint.
If you are looking for the ultimate solution for year-round comfort and energy savings, a heat pump installation from Comfort Services is the answer.

Heating & Heat Pump FAQs
You might not think about heating when you’re at the beach, but temperatures do drop in the winter. Here are some of the most common questions we get about heat and heat pumps.
The primary benefit is efficiency and versatility in our mild climate. Traditional furnaces generate heat, which is energy-intensive. A heat pump simply moves heat from the outside air into your home (or vice-versa in summer).
- Since a heat pump handles both heating and cooling, it offers superior year-round energy efficiency and lower overall utility costs compared to running separate systems.
- We install high-performance heat pumps that work effectively even when the temperature drops low overnight in Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Foley or Elberta.
If your heat pump is blowing slightly cool air, it may be in its defrost cycle. During colder temperatures, ice can build up on the outdoor coil. The system temporarily switches to cooling mode to defrost the coil using the reversing valve. This is normal and usually lasts only a few minutes.
If the air is very cold and the cycle is prolonged, it indicates a problem:
- Refrigerant Issue: Low refrigerant impacts both heating and cooling.
- Backup Heat Failure: Your auxiliary electric heat (emergency heat) may not be engaging when needed.
Action: If your home temperature continues to drop, switch the thermostat to "Emergency Heat" and call Comfort Services for 24/7 heating repair.
We recommend an annual furnace tune-up every fall, before you start relying on the unit for the winter season.
Crucial reasons for heating maintenance include:
- Safety: We inspect gas connections, vent systems, and the heat exchanger to prevent dangerous carbon monoxide (CO) leaks.
- Efficiency: We clean and adjust burners and ignitors to ensure efficient fuel consumption, which keeps your heating bills low.
Loud noises often indicate a problem that needs immediate attention.
- Loud Bang: Often caused by delayed ignition. Gas builds up before the unit lights, causing a small "explosion." This can damage your heat exchanger and is a safety concern.
- Rattling/Grinding: Usually a mechanical issue, such as a faulty blower motor or an issue with the heat pump fan blades.
Action: Turn off the unit immediately and schedule a diagnostic service with Comfort Services. Ignoring these noises can lead to much more expensive repairs.
While a modern furnace can last 15-20 years, heat pumps in coastal areas like Orange Beach and Gulf Shores generally have a lifespan closer to 10–15 years.
The constant exposure to salt air, high humidity, and heavy usage year-round (cooling in summer, heating in winter) can accelerate corrosion and wear. Regular, professional maintenance is the single best way to maximize the lifespan of your coastal heat pump system.
