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.
Common problems and warning signs
- 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.
When replacement makes sense
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.

- 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.
