Heat Pump Repair in Henrico, VA

Heat pumps in Henrico fail differently than a furnace or straight AC — a stuck reversing valve, an incomplete defrost cycle, or auxiliary heat that won't kick in all need specific diagnostic steps. We're trained specifically for heat pumps, not just general repair.

Heat pumps trip up techs who mostly work on standard equipment. A winter symptom and a summer symptom get tested separately.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What Henrico heat pump owners ask most.

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.

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

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

Not just during summer AC demand.

Not just the mode it's currently running in.

We train on the specific brands common in Henrico, VA.
