Some Frost Is Normal

In cold, damp weather a heat pump collects frost on the outdoor coil and melts it off every so often in a defrost cycle, which can send a bit of steam off the unit. That's normal. A unit that stays encased in ice, or runs on backup heat all day, needs a technician.

What Changes the Price of a Heat Pump Repair

Every heat pump repair job is quoted after a technician sees the equipment and the house. What moves the price: the age and brand of the system, access (crawl space, attic, garage or closet), parts availability, whether a permit is needed, and whether it's an after-hours call.

Heat Pump Repair Questions

Why is my heat pump blowing cold air?

During defrost it can briefly blow cool air. If it lasts, the cause may be low refrigerant, a failed reversing valve, a bad defrost control or a thermostat setting.

Why does my electric bill jump in a cold snap?

When a heat pump can't keep up, backup electric heat takes over and costs more to run. A heat pump that leans on backup heat in mild weather should be checked.

Do you fix ductless mini-splits?

Yes, including indoor unit error codes, drainage problems and outdoor unit issues.
