How Our Heat Pump Service Works

Same four steps for every job, from a quick fix to a full install.

Step 1

We figure out what's going on

Tech opens at the thermostat, then works through the indoor unit, outdoor unit, panel, and ducts. Pressures, microfarads, and amp draws read against rated values.

Step 2

We show you the options, you decide

Three written choices on every estimate: Immediate Repair, System Renovation, or System Upgrade. The estimate equals the invoice.

Step 3

We fix it or install it right

Same-day completion when possible. Repairs run full cycles before sign-off. Installs end with permits filed and HERS testing scheduled.

Step 4

You'll know if something comes up

A written report with photos and measurements hits your inbox after every visit. We keep it on file for next time.

Typical Issues We Handle Every Day

From no heating to leaks — we’ve seen it all and fixed it all.

Blue triangle warning icon with an exclamation mark inside on a red rounded square background.
No heat, even when set to heat

What causes it: Reversing valve gone, or refrigerant's low, or a contactor stuck open

How we do it: Our heat pump technician places the valve circuit on the meter, checks pressures off the gauges, and then pulls the problematic part.

Orange triangular warning icon with an exclamation mark inside on a red rounded square background.
The heat pump switches to emergency heat on its own

What causes it: The outdoor sensor reads incorrectly. Or the charge runs too low and the unit falls back to aux heat.

What we do: Sensor readings get pulled, the charge gets weighed, and the root cause gets fixed.

Blue triangle warning icon with an exclamation mark inside on a red rounded square background.
The outdoor unit freezes solid in winter

What causes it: A dead defrost board or a weak outdoor fan won't let the unit thaw.

What we do: Bench the board, replace failed parts, confirm drainage next cycle.

Blue triangle warning icon with an exclamation mark inside on a red rounded square background.
Cool in the morning, stops by the afternoon

What causes it: Compressor losing steam, condenser coil caked with dust, or a refrigerant restriction that shows up once outdoor temps clear 85°F.

What we do: Coil gets a wash. We pull superheat and subcool numbers and pin down which part's failed.

Orange triangular warning icon with an exclamation mark inside on a red rounded square background.
Works in one mode but not the other

What causes it: The solenoid on the reversing valve seized.

What we do: Swap the solenoid (or the valve itself if it won't shift), then run both modes through a full test cycle.

Blue triangle warning icon with an exclamation mark inside on a red rounded square background.
Ice buildup on the indoor unit

What causes it: The filter is packed, the charge is low, or the blower has lost some strength. Coil temp ends up below freezing.

What we do: Thaw it out, swap the filter, get charge or airflow back where they belong.

Blue triangle warning icon with an exclamation mark inside on a red rounded square background.
Weak Airflow from Vents

What causes it: Torn line insulation or low charge.

What we do: New insulation on the lineset, then weigh in refrigerant per spec.

Water is pooling under the indoor unit

What causes it: Either the float switch stopped working or the condensate drain became clogged.

What we do: If there isn't a flood switch, add one, test the float, and flush the line.

Blue triangle warning icon with an exclamation mark inside on a red rounded square background.
Switches between heating and cooling on its own

What causes it: Thermostat acting up, control board going flaky, or a short on the 24V wiring.

What we do: Meter runs across the 24V circuit. We swap the board or thermostat where the fault sits, then verify call signals run clean.

Reversing valve stuck, only heats or only cools

What causes it: The valve body or solenoid coil has failed.

What we do: Our heat pump specialists test coil voltage, check pilot pressure, and then replace the valve.

Blue triangle warning icon with an exclamation mark inside on a red rounded square background.
The remote and thermostat are showing different temperatures

What causes it: A failing thermistor reports the wrong reading to the control board.

What we do: Compare both readings on a calibrated meter, swap the bad sensor.

Clicking or ticking when it switches modes

What causes it: Loose mounts or slipped lineset clips amplify normal valve action.

What we do: Tighten mounts, resecure the lineset, and add isolation pads.

Burning smell on the first heat run of the season

What causes it: Dust burning off the auxiliary heat strip; it clears in ten minutes.

What we do: Confirm the strip, check wiring, and verify nothing touches the element.

The Right Heat Pump Setup Depends on Your Home

No two houses run the same. Our heat pump expert reads ducts, electrical capacity, and square footage before recommending equipment.

No need to take time off work or ask a family member to stay home

Single-Family Homes

Central ducted systems fit most San Jose houses. A Manual J load calculation locks in tonnage so the unit doesn't short-cycle.

Condos & Townhomes

Compact ducted units or ductless setups built for tight mechanical closets. We work with your HOA on outdoor placement, noise specs, and exterior penetrations.

Older Homes Without Ductwork

A lot of pre-1980 San Jose houses were built without ducts. Ductless mini-splits zone the heating and cooling so nobody tears into plaster.

New Construction

We work alongside builders on rough-in timing, panel sizing, and lineset routing. Residential heat pump systems run cleaner when planned during framing.

Rental Properties

Landlord-friendly scheduling, written tenant communication, and full permit docs across every San Jose rental unit.
