Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Pump Repair
Empirical answers regarding the process, safety, and recommendations.
Why is my heat pump stuck in cooling mode during winter?
This is almost always caused by a failed reversing valve or a faulty thermostat. The reversing valve directs the flow of refrigerant; if its internal solenoid fails, the system cannot switch between heating and cooling.
Is it normal for my heat pump to freeze over in the winter?
A light layer of frost is normal during very cold weather. However, if the unit is encased in solid ice, your defrost cycle has failed. This requires immediate repair to prevent the compressor from being crushed.
Why does my heat pump run constantly?
Heat pumps are designed to run longer, slower cycles than gas furnaces to maintain efficiency. However, if it never shuts off and the house isn't reaching the set temperature, you likely have a refrigerant leak or a failing compressor.
What does 'AUX' or 'Emergency Heat' mean on my thermostat?
Auxiliary heat turns on automatically when the heat pump cannot extract enough heat from outside (usually near freezing). If your thermostat says 'Emergency Heat' constantly in mild California weather, your primary heat pump has failed.
