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.
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
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.
Repair or replace?
If the existing unit can be repaired and run a few more seasons, we'll say so. Replacement is a recommendation, not the default.
Questions from Saw Creek homeowners
- Do heat pumps work in cold weather here?
- Cold-climate models do, well below freezing, with backup heat for the coldest stretches. Older units struggle sooner.
- Why is my outdoor unit icy?
- A little frost is normal and defrost clears it. Ice that stays means a defrost fault, low charge, or airflow trouble.
