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
- Never gets the house warm below freezing
- Hissing or bubbling in the lineset
- Auxiliary heat light on all the time
- Unit runs but airflow is weak
- Original community-era equipment reaching end of life
What the repair involves
Repairs commonly involve defrost boards and sensors, reversing valves, contactors and capacitors, fan motors, and refrigerant leaks. We verify charge by measurement, not by feel.
If it's time for new equipment
We'll size for heating, not just cooling, and set up the backup heat and balance point so the system uses the cheapest heat available at any temperature.
