Heat Pump Repair in Olivehurst for Year Round Comfort
A heat pump does two jobs, so when it fails you can lose both cooling and heating. Reversing valves, defrost controls, outdoor fans, and refrigerant problems are the usual causes. We find the fault and fix it so the system handles both seasons again.
Heat pumps are popular across the valley because our winters are mild enough for them to work efficiently. They do have a few habits that look like problems but are normal, and a few that are real problems.
Normal
- A cloud of steam from the outdoor unit in winter during defrost
- Air from the vents that feels warm, not hot
Worth a call
- Cool air in heat mode for a long time
- Ice that stays on the outdoor coil
- A system that will not switch between heating and cooling

Heat Pump Repair Questions
Is steam from my heat pump in winter normal?
Yes. That is the defrost cycle melting frost off the outdoor coil. It should stop after a few minutes.
