Signs your heat pump needs repair
Cold air in heat mode
Could be a stuck reversing valve, low refrigerant or a failed defrost control.
Ice that won't clear
Light frost is normal in winter. A solid block of ice is not.
Never shuts off
Running constantly in mild weather means it's losing capacity.
Loud outdoor unit
Rattling, grinding or a fan that won't spin point to a mechanical problem.
Relying on emergency heat
If 'EM heat' or 'AUX' stays on, your bill can spike quickly.

Repair or replace your heat pump?
Heat pumps work year-round here, so they wear faster than in other states.
Repair when…
The unit is under about 10 years old and the problem is a part like a capacitor, motor or control board.
Replace when…
The compressor fails on an older unit, or salt air corrosion has damaged the coil.
Upgrade benefits
Newer variable-speed heat pumps are quieter and handle humidity better.
Florida challenges for heat pump repair
Living on the coast is great, but it's tough on heating and cooling equipment. Here's what we keep in mind on every job.
Short, sudden cold snaps
Our winters are mild, but a few cold nights can come quickly. A system that sat unused for months should be checked before it's needed.
Heat pumps do double duty
Most local homes heat with the same heat pump that cools them, so it works all year and needs care twice a year.
Emergency heat costs
If a heat pump struggles, backup electric heat kicks in and can raise bills fast. Proper service keeps it from running more than it should.
Humidity and corrosion
Moist, salty air affects heating equipment too, especially outdoor heat pump coils and electrical connections.
What affects the cost
We always tell you the price before we start work. These are the main things that affect the cost of a repair.
The part that failed
A capacitor or contactor costs far less than a compressor or coil.
Refrigerant and leaks
Finding and fixing a leak takes more time than a simple top-off, and older refrigerant types cost more.
System age and brand
Parts for older or less common equipment can be harder to find.
Access
Units in tight attics, closets or on rooftops can take longer to work on.

How long do heat pumps last in Florida?
Usually 10–15 years. Because they run nearly all year and face salt air, regular maintenance makes a big difference.
Is it normal for my heat pump to steam?
Yes, during a defrost cycle it can release steam for a few minutes. That's normal.
What is emergency heat?
Backup electric heat strips. They work, but they cost much more to run, so call us if it's always on.
Do you repair all brands?
Yes, we repair all major heat pump brands.
Is there a warranty on repairs?
Yes. Repair parts come with a 1-year parts warranty.

Is it worth repairing an older system?
