Common heat pump service issues we solve in Costa Mesa

Unit freezes up in moderate cold

Defrost control failure or reversing valve stuck. We verify defrost cycle operation with stopwatch + temperature probes.

Excess electric bill in winter

Auxiliary heat engaging too early. We verify balance-point set correctly and reduce aux staging lockout temperature.

Heat pump runs but not hot

Low refrigerant charge (most common), clogged indoor coil, or compressor valve failure. First visit diagnostic.

Reversing valve hissing loudly

Some hum is normal on cycle-over; loud hissing means valve leak or compressor short. Requires charge recovery + replacement.

Aux heat won't engage on cold mornings

Thermostat configured wrong (W1/W2 confusion), aux heat lockout too high, or bad heat-strip relay.

Should I repair or replace my AC unit?
