COMMON HEAT PUMP PROBLEMS
Heat Pump Symptoms & What They Mean
Here are the problems we see most often in Upstate SC, what they usually point to, and how we fix them.
Not Heating / Blowing Cool in Heat Mode
Could be a failed reversing valve, thermostat/sensor issues, low refrigerant, or outdoor unit not running. We test controls and verify charge.
Outdoor Unit Iced Over
Defrost control faults, low refrigerant, or airflow problems. We diagnose the defrost board/sensor, check charge, and clear the coil safely.
Runs Constantly / High Power Bills
Undersized unit, poor charge, dirty coils/filters, or AUX heat overuse. We correct airflow/charge and recalibrate controls.
Won't Cool in Summer
Dirty outdoor coil, weak capacitor, failing contactor, or low refrigerant. We clean, test, and replace worn components.
Clicks On/Off (Short Cycling)
Restrictive filters, thermostat placement, control board faults, or safety trips. We stabilize operation to protect the compressor.
Loud or New Noises
Fan/blower bearings, vibration, or icing contact. We isolate the source and replace failing parts before bigger damage occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions
The diagnostic fee starts at $60, and we'll apply it toward the repair if you choose to move forward. Once we've identified the issue, we'll give you a straightforward flat-rate quote before any work begins — no surprises and no pressure.
Yes—during defrost, the outdoor unit can steam for a minute or two. If it's constant or there's ice build-up, it needs service.
Defrost failures, low refrigerant, or airflow issues are common causes. Don't chip ice—call us. We'll correct the root cause and protect the compressor.
AUX heat should assist only in very cold temps or during defrost. If it runs constantly, you may have control, sensor, or sizing/efficiency issues. We can fix that and help lower bills.
If your system is 12–15+ years and the repair exceeds 25–30% of replacement, upgrading can be smarter. We'll lay out costs, lifespan, and efficiency savings so you can decide confidently.
