Heat Pump Repair

Nothing's more stressful than a system that won't start. You walk to the thermostat, adjust it, and get nothing. No sound, no fan, complete silence. This could be something simple like a tripped breaker or dead thermostat batteries, or a bigger issue with the electrical system or control board.

Whether you're in Georgetown dealing with a cold morning or in Kyle trying to cool down after a hot day, we check the power supply, test the thermostat, and run a full inspection to find the exact cause and get your system powered back on.

The system runs, but the air doesn't match your thermostat setting. It blows cool in winter or warm in summer. Homeowners from Round Rock to Cedar Park often describe it as \"the system is on, but it's not really doing anything.\" This usually points to refrigerant issues, dirty coils, or a reversing valve stuck in one mode.

Central Texas weather swings can expose this problem fast when your heat pump can't switch modes properly. We measure refrigerant levels, clean coils for proper heat transfer, and repair or replace the reversing valve so your system handles both heating and cooling the way it's designed to.

Ice forming on your outdoor unit doesn't require freezing weather. Poor airflow, low refrigerant, or a failed defrost cycle can all cause coils to ice over, even during a mild Austin winter. You might notice frost building up, water pooling when it melts, or your system struggling to keep up. Running a heat pump like this can cause serious compressor damage. We carefully defrost the coils, clean the system, and correct the airflow or refrigerant issue so it doesn't freeze again.

Heat pumps are known for being quiet, so new or loud sounds are a clear warning. Grinding often means worn bearings, buzzing may signal an electrical problem, and rattling could be loose panels or components.

Whether you're in Pflugerville hearing these sounds at night or in Leander noticing them during the day, these noises don't fix themselves. Ignoring them usually leads to bigger, more expensive repairs. Our team tracks down the exact source and makes the needed repair before it spreads to other parts of your HVAC system.

Your heat pump runs for only a few minutes before shutting off, then repeats over and over. Not only is this inefficient, but it leaves homes in Hutto and Wells Branch with uneven heating and cooling while driving up energy costs. Causes range from dirty filters to low refrigeant to thermostat problems. We go step by step to figure out why it's cycling early, then complete repairs so the system runs full cycles again.

One room feels comfortable while another stays stuffy and uncomfortable, no matter what you set the thermostat to. This is especially common in two-story homes across the Austin area where upstairs bedrooms run hot in summer and cold in winter.

This frustrating problem often points to ductwork issues, airflow imbalances, or a heat pump that can't keep up with your home's demands. We assess your system capacity, check ductwork for leaks, and restore proper heating and cooling distribution throughout your house.

A heat pump working harder than it should will drive up your energy costs. Homeowners often notice this first as an unexplained jump in their electric bill, especially during peak summer or winter months when the system runs constantly.

Clogged filters, dirty coils, or worn electrical components are common culprits. Our technicians perform efficiency checks, clean the system, and replace any failing parts so your heat pump uses energy the way it was designed to, keeping your bills steady.
