If you need immediate assistance with your heat pump, call us or schedule an appointment online. Read on to learn the clear signs you need heat pump repair and our process for repairing these unique systems.
Signs You Need Heat Pump Repair
Heat pumps are reliable, but they can develop issues over time. Knowing the warning signs helps you call for service before the problem becomes a costly breakdown. Obviously, you should call us for repairs if your heat pump stops working. Other signs your heat pump should be repaired include:
- System runs constantly or in short cycles
- Airflow in your home feels weak or is not adequately heated/cooled
- You notice ice buildup on your heat pump
- You hear strange noises such as grinding, rattling, or buzzing
If you’ve noticed any of these problems, don’t ignore them. These signs may indicate a thermostat failure, refrigerant leak, clogged filter, electrical component damage, or other issues that require professional attention. Scheduling prompt repairs will protect your comfort and budget.
Our Heat Pump Repair Process
Every repair call begins with a thorough system evaluation. During this evaluation, our certified technicians check thermostat operation, electrical connections, airflow, refrigerant levels, and system controls to pinpoint the issue(s). Once diagnosed, we’ll explain your options clearly so you can make the right choice for your home.
Common repair solutions include:
- Replacing worn electrical parts, such as capacitors or contactors
- Repairing refrigerant leaks or recharging refrigerant
- Fixing blower motor or fan issues
- Clearing ice buildup and addressing defrost cycle problems
- Correcting thermostat calibration or replacement
Our goal is always to provide long-lasting heat pump system repair so you can depend on your equipment season after season.

Repair or Replace? We’ll Help You Decide
In some cases, replacing a heat pump makes more sense than repairing it. If this applies to you, our technicians will tell you. Typically, older heat pumps or heat pumps that are frequently breaking down should be replaced rather than repaired. Should you decide to upgrade, you can request a free replacement estimate and explore flexible financing options to fit your budget.
