What heat pump repair & installation involves
Heat pump work covers both modes. A unit that cools beautifully can still fail in heating if the reversing valve or defrost board is bad, so we test both.
Heat pump service and installation, including cold-climate systems and defrost problems.
What we usually get called for
- Short cycling in mild weather
- Electric bills far higher than expected
- Outdoor fan not running
- System stuck in defrost
- Thermostat and heat pump not communicating properly
How we repair it
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
If the existing unit can be repaired and run a few more seasons, we'll say so. Replacement is a recommendation, not the default.

- Sometimes, and sometimes a dual-fuel setup is smarter. We'll compare both for your house.
- Why is my electric bill so high?
- Usually backup electric heat running when the heat pump should be handling the load. That's a staging and controls issue.
