Jacksonville Heat Pump Repair

If your heat pump runs continuously, it may be struggling to reach the desired temperature due to low refrigerant, dirty coils, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Constant operation can also point to an undersized system or airflow restrictions. Our technicians can diagnose the issue and restore proper cycling to prevent energy waste and wear.

Unusual noises like humming or buzzing could indicate electrical problems, such as a failing capacitor or contactor. These components can interfere with your system’s ability to start or run efficiently. It’s best to turn off the unit and call a professional to prevent further damage.

This is often a sign that the reversing valve is stuck or malfunctioning. Since this valve controls the flow of refrigerant, any issue with it can prevent the system from changing modes. Our team can inspect and replace the valve to restore full system functionality.

Yes, clogged or dirty filters can significantly reduce airflow and strain your system, leading to overheating or short cycling. Over time, this can cause unnecessary wear on internal components and reduce your system’s efficiency. Regular filter changes are one of the simplest ways to avoid repairs.

A frozen outdoor coil during winter can mean the defrost cycle isn’t working properly or that airflow is restricted. This can lead to reduced efficiency and further system strain. We’ll inspect the defrost control board and ensure the coils are clean and draining properly.

Yes, during the defrost cycle in winter, your heat pump may release steam as it melts accumulated frost. This is completely normal and part of the system’s self-regulating process. However, if the steam lasts too long or is accompanied by noise, it may signal a problem.

If your system has stopped responding, you can try resetting the thermostat or turning the breaker off and back on. Sometimes, a simple reset can clear minor glitches. If the issue continues, though, it’s important to have a technician check for deeper mechanical or electrical problems.

The best way to avoid repairs is with consistent seasonal maintenance, including cleaning coils, inspecting electrical parts, and checking refrigerant levels. Promptly addressing small performance issues can also prevent them from becoming major problems. Our maintenance plans help keep your system in peak condition all year long.
