What heat pump repair & installation involves
In this climate, heat pump setup means getting the balance point and backup heat staging right — otherwise electric strips run when they don't need to and bills spike.
Heat pump service and installation, including cold-climate systems and defrost problems.
Signs you need service
- Heat pump blows cool air in heating mode
- Outdoor unit iced over and staying that way
- Electric backup heat running constantly
- Loud shudder when the system switches modes
- Cools fine in summer, no heat in winter
The repair itself
We check backup heat staging as part of every heat pump repair — an incorrectly wired strip heater is an expensive thing to leave alone.
Repair or replace?
Modern cold-climate heat pumps hold real capacity well below freezing, which is a genuine change from equipment installed 15 years ago. If yours is that old, replacement is worth pricing.
