The reversing valve is what makes a heat pump different from a standard air conditioner, controlling refrigerant flow direction to provide both heating and cooling from the same equipment. When reversing valves malfunction, heat pumps may fail to switch modes or provide inadequate heating during winter operation.
Our technicians have extensive experience diagnosing reversing valve problems, from simple solenoid failures to complete valve replacement. Reversing valve issues often present as systems that work fine in one mode but struggle in the other, or units that make unusual noises when switching between heating and cooling operation.
Reversing valve replacement requires specialized knowledge of refrigeration systems and precise brazing techniques. Our certified technicians follow manufacturer procedures for safe refrigerant recovery, valve installation, and system recharging to ensure reliable operation and proper warranty coverage.
Heat pumps operating in heating mode can develop ice buildup on outdoor coils when temperatures drop below freezing and humidity levels are high. The defrost control system automatically detects ice formation and temporarily switches the heat pump to cooling mode to melt accumulated ice.
When defrost controls fail, ice buildup reduces airflow across outdoor coils, dramatically decreasing heating capacity and potentially damaging outdoor fan motors or coil fins. Our technicians understand the complex interaction between outdoor temperature sensors, pressure switches, and defrost control boards that manage this critical function.
Modern heat pump defrost systems may use demand defrost controls that monitor actual system performance rather than simple timer-based operation. These intelligent controls require sophisticated diagnostic techniques and specialized replacement procedures when they malfunction.
Most Central Ohio heat pump installations include auxiliary electric heat strips that provide supplemental heating during extremely cold weather or when the heat pump system requires maintenance. These electric resistance heaters operate through sequenced controls that stage heating elements based on thermostat demand.
Auxiliary heat problems can leave homes uncomfortable during the coldest days of winter, when heat pump capacity alone may not meet heating requirements. Our technicians diagnose electric heat strip failures, sequencer problems, and control issues that prevent proper auxiliary heat operation.
When electric heat elements fail, our technicians replace them with OEM components that match the original specifications for safe, reliable operation. The replacement process includes testing electrical connections, verifying proper amp draw, and ensuring sequencer controls operate heating elements in the correct sequence.
Heat pump repair demands sophisticated understanding of refrigeration cycles, electrical controls, and reversing valve operation. Our comprehensive diagnostic approach identifies root causes rather than treating symptoms, ensuring repairs address underlying problems for long-lasting system reliability.
Every heat pump repair begins with thorough system evaluation using professional diagnostic tools that measure refrigerant pressures, electrical voltages, temperature differentials, and component operation. This comprehensive approach ensures we identify all contributing factors affecting your system's performance.
Our extensive experience servicing heat pump systems throughout Central Ohio has given us deep insight into the most frequent issues these advanced systems encounter. Understanding these common problems helps homeowners recognize when professional repair is needed.

Our diagnostic process begins with systematic evaluation of all heat pump components and controls. This thorough approach ensures we identify primary problems as well as secondary issues that could affect system reliability or efficiency.
Heat pump systems incorporate complex electrical controls including reversing valve solenoids, defrost controls, auxiliary heat sequencers, and outdoor fan motors. Our technicians use professional multimeters and amp clamps to test voltage levels, current draw, and control signal operation throughout the electrical system.
Proper airflow is essential for heat pump efficiency and longevity. We measure airflow volumes and pressures throughout the duct system, identifying restrictions that reduce performance and increase operating costs.
Heat pump refrigeration systems operate under different conditions than standard air conditioning units, requiring specialized diagnostic techniques. Our technicians evaluate superheat and subcooling measurements in both heating and cooling modes to assess refrigerant charge accuracy and system performance.
The compressor is the heart of any heat pump system, and comprehensive testing ensures this critical component operates within manufacturer specifications. We measure amp draw, head pressure, suction pressure, and oil levels to evaluate compressor condition and diagnose potential problems before they cause system failure.
