Common Heat Pump Problems

A heat pump works hard all year, providing both heating and cooling for your home. Because of this constant use, issues can arise, especially during the extreme temperatures of summer or winter. Identifying the warning signs early can help prevent a small problem from becoming a major failure.

• Blowing Cold Air in Heat Mode: This is a common complaint. It can be caused by the unit's defrost cycle, but if it persists, it may signal low refrigerant, a thermostat issue, or a problem with the reversing valve.
• Unit is Clogged or Frozen: If your outdoor unit is encased in ice, it cannot transfer heat. This is often caused by restricted airflow from dirty filters, or it could be a sign of a refrigerant leak or a faulty defrost control.
• System Won't Turn On: If the system is unresponsive, the first step is to check your thermostat settings and your home's circuit breaker. If those are fine, the issue could be an electrical connection or a safety switch.
• High Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your utility costs is a clear sign the system is struggling. It may be running on its less-efficient auxiliary heat (EM heat) constantly, or it could be low on refrigerant.
• Constant Cycling: If the heat pump turns on and off frequently, it may be a sign of a clogged filter, an incorrect thermostat reading, or an improperly sized unit.

A trained technician can diagnose the true source of the problem. Ignoring these signs often leads to more strain on the system and higher costs, so it is best to get a professional inspection.

The Importance of Licensed HVAC Repairs

Heat pumps involve high-voltage electricity and refrigerant. A mistake can cause injury or damage. A trained, licensed technician follows strict procedures to handle these components correctly, protecting your home and family.

Guesswork leads to more problems. A professional uses diagnostic tools to find the real issue. This prevents you from replacing parts you do not need and ensures the repair is effective for the long term.

Most manufacturer warranties require service by a licensed HVAC contractor. Using a qualified professional ensures your warranty remains valid, protecting your investment in case of a future component failure.

FAQs About Heat Pump Repair in Middle Tennessee

Why is my heat pump blowing cold air?

This is common during the "defrost cycle." However, if it continues, it means the system is struggling. This can be caused by low refrigerant or a problem with the reversing valve. A technician can find the cause.

Why is my outdoor unit frozen?

A light layer of frost is normal, but a block of ice means there is a problem. This is usually caused by a dirty air filter restricting airflow or a low refrigerant charge. Do not run the unit if it is frozen.

What is the "EM Heat" setting?

"EM Heat" stands for Emergency Heat. This activates your system's auxiliary heat strips, which are much less efficient than the heat pump. This setting should only be used if the heat pump itself has failed.

Is it better to repair or replace my heat pump?

We will always provide the most cost-effective, honest solution. If a repair is simple and the unit is still in good shape, we will recommend that. If the unit is old and the repair is costly, a replacement may offer more value.
