Heat pump repair and service
Heat pumps carry both cooling and heating loads, so diagnosis needs to consider thermostat settings, mode changes, outdoor-unit behavior, refrigerant symptoms, airflow, reversing-valve operation, and seasonal performance.
Common customer questions
- Does the heat pump cool but struggle in heating mode, or the reverse?
- Is the system stuck in one mode, short cycling, icing up, or blowing lukewarm air?
- Do you hear unusual outdoor-unit noise or notice higher energy use?
- Are thermostat settings or auxiliary heat behavior confusing?
What to expect
- Step 1: Confirm the thermostat call, selected mode, outdoor-unit response, airflow, and visible coil condition.
- Step 2: Check whether the issue points to controls, refrigerant symptoms, reversing-valve behavior, airflow, or electrical components.
- Step 3: Explain what was found and whether repair, maintenance, or replacement planning is appropriate.
Heat pump service is scheduled based on symptoms, urgency, and availability after contact.
