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. A winter symptom and a summer symptom get tested separately.
What sets a heat pump specialist apart.
We test solenoids and refrigerant flow directly.
Whether defrost won't start or won't stop, we test the board and sensors.
You can't tell which failed just by watching the thermostat.
We don't treat heat pump calls as a summer specialty and go quiet the rest of the year.
Not a one-size-fits-all approach.

What Irmo 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.
Year-round, both heating and cooling mode failures covered.
Not just the mode it's currently running in.
Yes, defrost logic and staging vary meaningfully between manufacturers.
Not inherently, though the auxiliary heat strips see more use in harsher climates and are worth checking during maintenance.
Most units run reliably for a decade or more with proper maintenance, though usage and climate affect the timeline.
