FAQ
Why is my heat pump blowing cool air during heating?
This often comes from airflow restrictions, control issues, defrost behavior, or sensor faults.
A proper diagnostic checks airflow first, then electrical and control logic, then a performance run test.
What causes short cycling on a heat pump?
Short cycling can be triggered by airflow problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, or control faults.
It raises wear and can push power bills up fast.
Is ice on the outdoor unit normal?
Light frost can be normal in winter. Heavy ice that stays can point to defrost issues, airflow clearance problems, or sensor faults.
We confirm defrost behavior and outdoor airflow conditions.
How do I know if I should repair or replace the unit?
Age, repair history, performance, and cost of parts matter.
If a repair restores stable output and reliability, repair can make sense.
If issues repeat or costs stack, replacement often protects your budget.
Can a dirty filter cause no heat?
Yes. Low airflow reduces heat transfer and can trigger faults.
Filter checks help, but airflow testing across the system is what stops repeat problems.
Do you repair ductless and ducted heat pumps?
Yes. We service ductless mini-splits, multi-zone systems, and ducted heat pump setups.
The diagnostic approach stays consistent: controls, airflow, electrical, drainage, and performance testing.
