Frequently Asked Questions
Heat Pump Repair

During a defrost cycle a heat pump briefly blows cool air, which is normal on frosty days. If it continues, the usual causes are a faulty reversing valve, low refrigerant from a leak, a frozen outdoor coil or a thermostat set incorrectly. Our technicians repair reversing valves, refrigerant leaks and frozen coils.

Yes, with limits. Modern heat pumps keep heating well below freezing, although their capacity and efficiency drop as temperatures fall. In North Shore winters many homes pair a heat pump with a furnace or backup heat for the coldest days. During a repair visit we check that your backup heat and defrost controls are working correctly.

Twice a year, in spring and fall, because a heat pump both heats and cools. Each visit includes cleaning or replacing filters, checking refrigerant levels, cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils, tightening electrical connections, verifying thermostat function and testing the defrost cycle.

In mild weather a heat pump typically runs 10 to 15 minutes per cycle. In cold weather it runs longer, sometimes almost continuously, because it moves heat gradually rather than burning fuel. Very short, frequent cycles are not normal and can point to a thermostat, refrigerant or electrical problem worth a service call.

Yes. Our technicians are trained on all major heat pump brands and models, including the Rheem heat pumps we install. We repair refrigerant leaks, electrical problems such as failed capacitors and faulty wiring, reversing valve failures, compressor issues and frozen coils.
