Heating & cooling
Signs your heat pump needs repair
- Stuck in heating or stuck in cooling
- The outdoor unit is covered in ice that never clears
- Cool air in heat mode for more than a few minutes
- It runs constantly and never reaches the set temperature
- Auxiliary or emergency heat is on all the time
- Electric bills jump with no change in the weather
- Loud noises at startup or shutdown
Three things to check before you call
- Swap a dirty filter. Low airflow is a common cause of weak heating or cooling.
- Make sure supply vents and return grilles aren't closed or blocked by furniture.
- A light coat of frost that clears on its own is normal in winter. A solid block of ice is not.
Checked those and it’s still acting up? Call or text (573) 797-5242.
What usually causes it
Reversing valve
The heat pump is stuck in one mode and won't switch between heating and cooling.
Defrost control or sensor
Ice builds up on the outdoor unit and never clears, choking off airflow.
Low refrigerant
Weak heating and cooling, long run times, and ice on the coil.
Capacitor or contactor
The outdoor unit won't start, or starts and stops repeatedly.
Auxiliary heat problems
Backup heat that never turns on leaves the house cold on the coldest days. Backup heat that never turns off runs up the electric bill.
Thermostat setup
A thermostat wired or configured for the wrong system type can keep a healthy heat pump from running right.
Heat pumps in Indiana winters
A heat pump moves heat instead of making it, so on the coldest Indiana nights it leans on backup heat to keep up. That's normal. Running on backup heat all the time is not, and it's one of the most expensive problems to ignore.

Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
Is it normal for a heat pump to blow cool air in winter?
For a few minutes, yes. The system reverses briefly to defrost the outdoor coil. If the cool air lasts longer than that, something is wrong.
Why is my heat pump covered in ice?
Light frost that clears on its own is normal. A solid coat of ice usually points to a defrost problem, low refrigerant, or blocked airflow. Turn the system off and call.
Do you offer same-day heat pump repair?
Yes. Same-day service is available seven days a week. The earlier you reach out, the earlier we can get to you.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
Every repair we do carries a 90-day labor warranty. If our work isn't right, we come back and make it right.
