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
- 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
How we repair it
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.
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.
Questions from Walpack 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.
