Heat Pumps Work Hard—We Keep Them Working
Unlike traditional heating and cooling systems, heat pumps serve double duty. They keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter—all with the same equipment. Because they run year-round, they require a bit more attention than a typical seasonal system. If you’ve noticed your heat pump struggling to keep up or sounding off, don’t wait for it to break completely.
Our technicians are trained to work on all major heat pump brands and models. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to pinpoint the problem and fix it right the first time.
Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repair
Wondering if your system is just acting up or if it actually needs professional help? Look out for these common warning signs:
- System isn’t heating or cooling effectively
- Poor airflow or weak output
- Heat pump stuck in one mode (only heating or only cooling)
- Loud or unusual noises during operation
- Ice buildup on the outdoor unit
- Short cycling (frequent starts and stops)
- Thermostat not responding
- Rising energy bills without a change in usage
Any of these symptoms can indicate a mechanical, electrical, or refrigerant issue that should be addressed quickly to avoid further damage or system failure.
