Common Indicators Your Heat Pump Needs Professional Repair

Heat pumps operate differently than standard AC units, and their failure symptoms can be unique. Because they use a reversing valve to switch between heating and cooling, a mechanical or electrical failure in this single component can leave you without the climate control you need. Identifying these warning signs early can prevent a minor electrical issue from spiraling into a major compressor failure.

Watch for these common signs that your heat pump requires expert attention:

• System Stuck in One Mode: If your heat pump refuses to switch from cooling to heating (or vice versa), the reversing valve or the solenoid that controls it is likely failed. This requires professional mechanical repair.
• Excessive Ice Buildup on Outdoor Coils: While some frost is normal in winter, a thick layer of ice indicates a failure in the defrost cycle. This is often caused by a faulty defrost board, sensor, or refrigerant leak.
• Strange Grinding or Hissing Noises: Hissing often points to a refrigerant leak, while grinding or metal-on-metal sounds usually indicate a failing blower motor or compressor issues that need immediate attention.
• A Sudden Surge in Energy Costs: If your utility bills spike, your heat pump may be relying too heavily on "auxiliary heat" or "emergency heat" strips, which are far less efficient than the standard heat pump cycle.
• Reduced Airflow or Inconsistent Temps: Weak airflow or "hot spots" in your home can signal a failing capacitor, a dirty coil, or an issue with the indoor air handler that prevents the system from distributing air correctly.
