A heat pump moves heat into your home in winter and out of it in summer. Because it works year round, it wears differently than a standard air conditioner, and problems like a stuck reversing valve or a failed defrost board show up in ways that can be confusing.
Repair or replace?
If your heat pump is under about ten years old, repair is usually the better value. Past that, we will walk you through the numbers on both options, including what a newer, more efficient system would cost to run. The decision is yours, and we will not pressure you either way.
Signs you should call
- Ice that stays on the outdoor unit for hours
- The system cannot keep the house warm on cold nights
- The emergency or auxiliary heat light stays on
