Heat Pump Problems We Repair in Heating Season
Not heating, or cool air from the vents
A heat pump that runs but never warms the house is usually low on refrigerant from a leak, or the outdoor unit has stopped doing its share because the fan or the compressor start components failed. A thermostat or control fault can also hold it in the wrong mode. We test the charge, the outdoor unit and the controls, then fix the fault we find.
Stuck in defrost, or an outdoor unit buried in ice
A light frost on the outdoor coil that clears on its own is normal in a Berks County winter. A unit that stays iced over, or keeps dropping into defrost, points to a failed defrost sensor or control board, a bad outdoor fan motor or a low charge. Do not chip the ice off the coil. Shut the system off and call us.
Auxiliary heat running constantly
Backup heat that never drops out means the heat pump stage is not carrying the load. The causes are the same ones behind a no-heat call: low refrigerant, a stuck reversing valve or an outdoor unit that has quit. It usually shows up first as a jump in the electric bill, because the backup strips cost more to run than the heat pump does.
Will not switch between heating and cooling
If the system cools when it should heat, or will not change over at all, the reversing valve or its solenoid has failed, or the control wiring that tells it to shift is open. Both are repairs we make at the outdoor unit, and both are quick to confirm once we are on site.
What a Heat Pump Service Visit Covers
On a repair call we work through the same points as a maintenance visit: refrigerant levels, indoor and outdoor coils, electrical connections, the thermostat and the ductwork, then a performance test in both heating and cooling modes. That order finds the fault and catches the second problem that would have brought us back in January. You get a plain explanation before any repair starts.
Heat Pump Brands We Repair
We repair ducted heat pumps from all major brands, whoever installed them. When replacement makes more sense, we install AirEase and Bosch heat pumps sized for your home.
FAQ: Ducted Heat Pump Repair and Maintenance
Q: How often should I have my ducted heat pump system serviced?
A: Because a heat pump runs year-round for both heating and cooling, we recommend professional maintenance twice a year - spring and fall. Regular service protects efficiency, catches wear early, and extends equipment life. Ask Art Smith And Son about our maintenance plan for priority scheduling and discounts.
Q: Why is my heat pump not heating or cooling effectively?
A: Weak performance often points to low refrigerant, a dirty filter or coil, a faulty reversing valve, or a frozen outdoor unit. Some causes are simple, others need a technician. Art Smith And Son diagnoses the issue and restores comfort, servicing all major heat pump brands across Berks County.
Q: What's the average lifespan of a ducted heat pump system?
A: A well-maintained ducted heat pump typically lasts 12-15 years. Since it operates year-round, regular maintenance and timely repairs are key to reaching that range. When yours nears the end, we'll help you plan a replacement on your timeline, with financing available.
Q: My heat pump is making strange noises. What could be wrong?
A: Grinding, squealing, rattling, or clicking can signal a failing motor, loose component, or debris in the unit, while buzzing may indicate an electrical issue. Don't ignore it - small problems grow. Art Smith And Son's Fleetwood technicians inspect and repair the cause before it leads to a breakdown.
Q: Do you repair all heat pump brands?
A: Yes. Art Smith And Son repairs and maintains heat pumps from all major manufacturers, no matter who installed the system. Our technicians carry the experience and parts to service Bosch, AirEase, and other leading brands. We serve Fleetwood and all of Berks County, Mon-Fri with same-day options.
