⚠️ Why HVAC Quotes Are Higher in 2026

Many homeowners think contractors suddenly raised prices.

In reality, a lot of the increases are coming from **equipment manufacturers**, not labor.

Manufacturers pushed another round of price increases earlier this year, affecting:

• Equipment
• Parts
• Accessories

If you received a quote in **2025 and waited**, there’s a good chance the pricing has already changed.

It’s one of the biggest reasons homeowners feel like HVAC pricing “jumped overnight.”

Why Ice Storms Are Risky for Heat Pumps:

If you notice it is not staying warm in the house, you might have ice build-up outside.

Ice Damage: Falling icicles or buildup can break the fan motor.

Reduced Airflow: Ice buildup on the coils reduces efficiency and restricts necessary airflow.

Safety Hazard: A heavily frozen unit can become a safety hazard.
If your home is staying warm, the heat pump is likely working properly, even if it has some ice buildup.

Key Tips for Heat Pumps in Ice Storms

Use Emergency Heat only in emergencies: If the unit is heavily iced, switch to "Emergency Heat" or "Auxiliary Heat" on your thermostat. This stops the outdoor fan from striking built-up ice and breaking.

Monitor Defrost Cycles: It is normal for a heat pump to make loud "whooshing" sounds and steam during defrost cycles.

Clear Debris Gently: Remove sleet or snow from around the unit, but do not use sharp tools, which can damage coils.

Protection: Do not cover the top of the unit completely, as this restricts airflow. A, 3-sided, elevated, or sloped, structure can protect it, but it should not directly sit on top.

Check for Damage: If the unit is covered in more than 1+ inches of ice, it is safer to turn it off to avoid damaging the motor.
