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
- 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
Because heat pumps run year-round, wear items go sooner than on an AC-only system. Most of those parts are stocked and repaired in one visit.
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.
