Does a Heat Pump Use Refrigerant?
Using heat pumps in Chandler, AZ is a reliable and efficient choice to keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They essentially act as all-in-one units, with the same basic system as an air conditioner used to perform heating functions as well as air conditioning functions. Does a heat pump use refrigerant? Absolutely. Indeed, without refrigerant gas, the heat pump couldn’t run, making refrigerant an indispensable part of the unit’s ability to function. Explaining how heat pumps work can help you understand the role that refrigerant plays in the process.
We install heat pumps in Chandler, AZ!
The exact type of refrigerant and the amount uses varies by model, as do the precise details of the heating and cooling process. The general parameters are unchanged, however. The refrigerant starts out as a gas before entering a compression valve that subjects it to a huge amount of heat and pressure. It then releases the gas into a series of compression coils, where the heat is bled off and the gas reverts to a liquid (still under a lot of pressure). From there, it moves through an expansion valve, which releases a set amount into a series of evaporator coils. As it evaporates, it cools the surrounding air: reverting to a gas and return back to the compression valve to start the cycle again.
As you may have noticed, there are two sets of valves/coils: one that heats the surrounding air and one that cools it. In a heat pump, there’s one set of valves/coils inside the house and one set outside. In the summer, the inside set serves as the expansion/evaporator, cooling the air, while the outside set serves as the compressor, warming the air. In the winter time, the two roles are basically swapped, and the inside set warms the air while the outside set cools the air.
The process is very cost efficient – saving you money over a traditional gas furnace – and it works well in areas with mild winters, which is why heat pumps in Chandler, AZ are fairly common.

Daniel came out for a new issue and got it all handled in one visit. Love this company and their techs!












Caleb was professional and clear. He showed me what he found and told me how I could proceed. Thank you Goettl 😊 and thank you Caleb!







He explained, while he saw no immediate problems. what we might expect going forward, given the furnace's age and condition. After I asked about major component vs. whole-unit replacement, he provided a thorough explanation, and pricing, of options for us to consider.
Very good experience with Jef! Highly recommend!











This past week our service technician was Andrew Morgan and he is such a friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled technician. He spent time making sure the job was done correctly and he explained it in terms that I could understand. Not only is our unit functioning even better than before, I also gained knowledge of how the system works.













I highly recommend Goettl as this is the second time l've used them in less than a year. (2 seperate issues)... and I highly recommend them..anytime and anyday.
They have exceeded to top any expectations I could have ever had with any company.


Jerry also noticed our water pressure was low after flushing toilet then trying to wash hands in bathroom sink which were so he suggested a new pressure regulator as we have had a new better water conditioning system installed. We now have the best water pressure even when using a shower and kitchen sink faucet at the same time. Also Jerry is a master plumber and we appreciate his knowledge and experience. Will definitely call Goettl again when a plumber is needed.
Ralph & Kathy Lesmeister



Darean Guerra today. He arrived on time and took the time to explain what he was going to do. He was very knowledgeable which helped me trust what he was doing. He left his work area clean. I am very pleased with his work.




Now we have a new flange, installed correctly, and ready for the new toilet!







The company is installing a tankless heater and the customer service is outstanding.
I recommend Geottl to all!


They made sure my carpet was covered and when they were all through they cleaned up perfectly
I would recommend your company to anyone looking to put in a new air conditioner.
Thank you so much for all you did for me.
Sincerely, June Jones
