Heat Pump Repair in Cohoes, NY

Because heat pumps run both directions, failures show up differently. We're trained specifically for heat pumps, 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. A winter symptom and a summer symptom get tested separately.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions before a Heat Pump Repair visit.

Nine times out of ten this points to a reversing valve stuck in the wrong position, though we still check refrigerant charge since it can mimic the same symptom.

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.

The signal isn't reaching the strips the way it should.

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

Year-round, both heating and cooling mode failures covered.

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

Yes, defrost logic and staging vary meaningfully between manufacturers.
