Family-owned since day one
Heat pumps are one of the most efficient ways to heat and cool a Florida home. Instead of burning fuel, a heat pump moves heat: out of your home in the summer and into it on cool winter nights. That’s why most homes in Clearwater and the Tampa Bay area rely on one.
Poulin Cooling A/C and Refrigeration repairs, installs, and maintains heat pumps for homes and businesses across Pinellas County. Most heat pumps provide about 15 years of reliable service with proper maintenance. When yours needs attention, our technicians find the real problem and help you decide whether a repair or a new system makes more sense.
Built for Florida
A heat pump handles both cooling and heating, which makes it a natural fit for our mild winters and long, humid summers.
The same outdoor unit cools in summer and heats in winter, with no separate furnace.
Moving heat takes far less energy than creating it, which helps keep bills down.
Modern high-SEER2 heat pumps use less electricity to keep your home comfortable.
Like an AC, a heat pump pulls moisture out of the air during Florida’s sticky months.
Heat pumps run on electricity, so there’s no gas, no flame, and no carbon monoxide risk.
Today’s variable-speed and inverter models run quietly and hold steady temperatures.
Mini-split heat pumps heat and cool rooms, additions, and garages without ductwork.
With regular maintenance, most heat pumps last about 15 years.
Many high-efficiency heat pumps qualify for tax credits or rebates that offset the cost.
Everything your heat pump needs
From a quick repair to a brand-new system, our licensed technicians handle every part of your heat pump’s life.
Blowing cool air in heat mode, ice on the outdoor unit, or aux heat that never shuts off? We diagnose the real cause, from capacitors and defrost controls to reversing valves and refrigerant leaks. Learn more about heat pump & heating repair.
When it’s time for a new system, we size it correctly for your home and install high-efficiency equipment from trusted manufacturers. Estimates on new heat pumps are free. See our heat pump installation services.
A tune-up cleans the coils, checks refrigerant and electrical parts, clears the drain line, and tests heating and cooling, so small problems get caught early. Learn about heat pump maintenance.
Mini-splits are heat pumps without ductwork, ideal for additions, garages, and rooms that never get comfortable. We install and service all major brands. See ductless mini-splits.
Electric heat strips in your air handler provide backup heat on the coldest mornings. We repair burned-out elements, sequencers, and relays, and service the blower and coil inside the air handler.
A thermostat that isn’t set up for a heat pump can cause no heat or constant aux heat. We repair, reprogram, and replace thermostats, including smart thermostats.

FAQ
Answers to the questions Clearwater homeowners ask us most about heat pumps.
Still have questions?
Talk to a real person on our team. We’re happy to help you figure out what’s going on.
A heat pump is a heating and cooling system that moves heat instead of creating it. In summer it pulls heat out of your home like an air conditioner. In winter it reverses and brings heat inside. Most Florida homes use a heat pump for both.
Yes. Our winters are mild, which is when heat pumps work most efficiently. On the coldest mornings, electric heat strips in the air handler give it a boost.
They cool the same way. The difference is that a heat pump has a reversing valve, so it can also run in reverse and heat your home. An air conditioner only cools.
Most heat pumps provide about 15 years of reliable service with proper maintenance. Salt air, heavy use, and skipped tune-ups can shorten that.
Because a heat pump runs year-round in Florida, we recommend a tune-up twice a year: once before summer and once before winter. Our maintenance plans include both visits.
During cold, damp weather your heat pump runs a short defrost cycle, and the air can feel cool for a few minutes. That’s normal. If it lasts longer, see our heat pump repair page or give us a call.
Many high-efficiency heat pumps do. Eligibility depends on the equipment and current programs, and we’ll help you understand what applies when we give you an estimate.
Yes, estimates on new heat pumps and other new systems are free. Repairs start with a diagnostic visit so we can find the problem and give you an accurate price.
Yes. Our technicians service all major makes and models. We’re also a Ruud Pro Partner and an LG Pro Dealer.
