Our Comprehensive Heat Pump Services

We offer a full spectrum of services designed to address every aspect of your heat pump’s life cycle, from routine upkeep to critical repairs.

Professional Heat Pump Repair

When your heat pump malfunctions, you need fast, reliable service. Our skilled technicians are equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to accurately identify the root cause of any issue. We handle all types of repairs, including electrical failures, refrigerant leaks, compressor problems, and reversing valve malfunctions. Our process is transparent: we explain the problem clearly, present you with the best repair options, and perform the work with precision to restore your comfort quickly.

Preventative Heat Pump Maintenance

The most effective way to avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your system is through regular, professional maintenance. An annual or bi-annual tune-up is an investment in your system's health and efficiency. During a maintenance visit, our technicians perform a thorough inspection and cleaning, which prevents minor issues from escalating into major breakdowns. This proactive care ensures your heat pump runs efficiently, saves you money on energy costs, and maintains your manufacturer's warranty.

Common Heat Pump Problems We Solve

If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to schedule a professional service call. Our technicians are experts at resolving these common issues and more.

• Unit Not Heating or Cooling Properly: If your heat pump is running but not changing the temperature, it could be due to low refrigerant, a faulty compressor, or a malfunctioning reversing valve. We can diagnose the specific component failure and perform the necessary repairs.
• Strange Noises: Grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds are not normal. These noises often indicate worn-out motor bearings, loose components, or debris in the unit. Ignoring them can lead to severe damage.
• Frequent Cycling: A heat pump that turns on and off too frequently (short cycling) is a sign of a problem. This could be caused by an oversized system, a clogged filter, or a faulty thermostat, leading to unnecessary wear and wasted energy.
• Frozen Outdoor Unit: While some frost is normal in winter, a thick layer of ice on the outdoor coil indicates a problem with the defrost cycle. This can be caused by low refrigerant, poor airflow, or a faulty sensor, all of which require professional attention.
• Sudden Spike in Energy Bills: A sudden increase in your utility costs is often the first sign that your heat pump is losing efficiency. A professional tune-up can restore its performance by cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring all parts are working correctly.
• Water or Refrigerant Leaks: Any fluid leaking from your indoor or outdoor unit is a serious issue. Water leaks can cause property damage, while refrigerant leaks harm the environment and can lead to a total system failure.

The Benefits of Professional Heat Pump Service

Investing in professional care for your heat pump delivers significant returns in comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind.

• Enhanced Energy Efficiency: A well-maintained heat pump uses less energy to heat and cool your home, leading to direct savings on your monthly utility bills.
• Extended System Lifespan: Regular tune-ups and timely repairs prevent the excessive wear and tear that can shorten your system’s operational life, protecting your investment.
