Heat Pump Repair in San Bruno, CA

Because heat pumps run both directions, failures show up differently. Our techs train specifically on these systems, not just general repair.

General HVAC techs are often less confident with heat pumps since the reversing valve, defrost board, and aux heat strips don't exist on a standard split system. We test each component specifically, since a heat pump issue in January often has nothing in common with the same symptom in July.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What San Bruno heat pump owners ask most.

We don't assume, we test both possibilities.

A thin layer of frost comes and goes normally; ice that just sits there and builds up means the defrost logic isn't doing its job.

Nine times out of ten it's a wiring or staging problem between the thermostat and the control board, and we check that connection directly.

These two components simply don't exist on a conventional system.

Not just during summer AC demand.

We verify in both modes since the system runs two ways.

Yes, defrost logic and staging vary meaningfully between manufacturers.

Climate affects wear patterns more than it affects overall lifespan.

Regular tune-ups extend that window meaningfully.
