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
- 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
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?
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.
Questions from Shohola 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.
