Prompt and Reliable Heat Pump Repair

Even the most reliable heat pump can experience issues. When your system falters, you need a swift response from technicians who can accurately diagnose and resolve the problem. We specialize in troubleshooting and repairing all makes and models of heat pumps, addressing the common and complex issues that can disrupt your comfort.

Be aware of the warning signs that indicate your heat pump needs professional attention:

• Insufficient Heating or Cooling: The system runs, but the air coming from your vents is lukewarm.
• Unusual Noises: Grinding, squealing, or clanking sounds can signal serious mechanical problems with the fan motor or compressor.
• Short Cycling: The unit turns on and off frequently without completing a full heating or cooling cycle.
• Increased Energy Bills: A sudden, unexplained spike in your utility costs often points to an efficiency problem within the system.
• Ice on the Outdoor Unit: While a light frost can be normal, a heavy buildup of ice on the coils indicates an issue with the defrost cycle or refrigerant levels.
• Constant Operation: The system runs continuously without reaching the set temperature on your thermostat.

Our technicians arrive equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the root cause of the malfunction quickly. Whether it’s a refrigerant leak, a faulty capacitor, a failing compressor, or an electrical issue, we provide a clear explanation of the problem and an upfront plan for the repair. We use high-quality replacement parts to ensure the durability of our work, restoring your system’s performance and reliability.

Proactive Heat Pump Maintenance for Longevity and Efficiency

The single most effective way to protect your investment and prevent unexpected breakdowns is through regular, professional maintenance. A heat pump works hard year-round, and proactive service is essential to keep it running efficiently and extend its operational lifespan. Our comprehensive maintenance tune-ups are designed to address every critical component of your system.

During a maintenance visit, our technicians perform an extensive checklist of tasks. We thoroughly clean the indoor and outdoor coils, as dirty coils restrict airflow and force the system to work harder, wasting energy. We check and tighten all electrical connections, lubricate moving parts like fan motors to reduce friction, and inspect the condensate drain to prevent clogs and water damage.

We also verify the system’s refrigerant charge, as levels that are too low or too high can severely impact performance and damage the compressor. We will change the air filter, test the thermostat’s accuracy, and inspect the entire system for signs of wear and tear. This proactive approach not only helps you avoid the inconvenience of a mid-season breakdown but also ensures your heat pump operates at its maximum energy efficiency, keeping your utility bills as low as possible. Regular maintenance is key to enjoying consistent, worry-free comfort.
