Professional Heat Pump Repairs

When your heat pump no longer works efficiently or stops working altogether, you need a quick, long-term fix. With decades of industry experience, Guthrie & Sons can repair all brands of heat pumps.

Our NATE-certified technicians will first locate the problem with your heat pump before determining the next steps. Rest assured that we have the tools and knowledge to get this system back on track. Once we’re done, your home will be at the perfect temperature again.

Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repair

The sooner you notice something isn’t right with your heat pump, the sooner you can schedule repairs and restore your home comfort.

Here are four signs that your heat pump needs repair:

  • Lack of heating or cooling: If your system isn’t properly heating or cooling your home, there may be a problem with the reversing valve. A faulty valve means less control of the refrigerant flow and, in turn, less effectiveness.
  • Higher energy costs: Did your energy bill suddenly spike even though your usage stayed the same? The culprit may be a failing heat pump that’s working harder than normal to maintain your desired temperature.
  • Odd sounds: Unusual noises like clicking, rattling, or banging typically indicate a worn-out or damaged part. Scheduling prompt repairs is critical, as delaying a fix only worsens things.
  • Frost or ice: While a small amount of ice on your heat pump may seem trivial, constant ice throughout the year is concerning and warrants a professional repair.

Why is my heat pump blowing cold air in heating mode?

If your heat pump is blowing cold air in heating mode, check that your thermostat is set to heat. If the setting is correct, have an expert look for damaged ductwork or dirty air filters.

Can I perform heat pump repairs myself?

While you may be tempted to handle this task yourself, it’s best to play it safe and leave it to a professional. Remember that some DIY repair attempts can cause shock or electrocution.

What should I do if my heat pump freezes up?

Ensure the defrost cycle is operating normally. If the problem continues, ask an HVAC technician to assess your heat pump and fix the defrost system.

Anthony was very professional and communicative. He was easy to work with in setting up my hear pump installation project. I really appreciated the fact that he wasn't pushing a "hard sell" as some representatives from other companies did. When I had questions an needed quote options he was super-responsive and helpful. Great experience!When Carson, Isaiah, and Israel came your to perform the work, they were punctual, friendly, and respectful. When I expressed concerns or had questions, they addressed them immediately and effectively. Their work was outstanding, the job looks great and the system works well. I have already recommended Guthrie & Sons to other people.Thanks, again, for everything.

We’ve worked with a few Heating and Air company’s in the past at this was far and away the best we’ve worked with. The technician was very professional and friendly, quick with the work but took his time to explain and answer questions. Reasonable pricing and was impress how organized the whole process was. Hands down the best experience with any company in this field!

Good Service. Zach has been here before and we are grateful for his exceptional customer service! He ensures that every piece of equipment is thoroughly checked in the attic and working. Zach wiped down the access door and it is spotless. I appreciate his friendliness and superior service!

The removal of the old direct Heating and ducting went without a hitch. The installation of the new air conditioning and heating unit went very smoothly and I was impressed with every one of the workers. They were friendly and very knowledgeable. They were well equipped to deal with any process problems. I give five stars for this group.As part of the installation contract, Guthrie and Sons sent a worker named Wayne to replace the filter and check our air conditioning condenser. He was friendly and knowledgeable and even slipped on the covers over his shoes as he came through the house. The work was performed very quickly. Another five star performance by Guthrie and Sons.Zack visited today for yearly maintenance. Filter changed out and the unit is working optimally. We'll done.Daniel, this morning, replaced the filter and verified the furnace is in working order and providing proper heat throughout our home. Another skilled and friendly 5 star visit.

Your technician, Jonathan Santana was awesome. My husband was not home and Jonathan was very understanding. Even though there was a mix up with the service connection from Rheem, Jonathan assisted without hesitation. His help made my follow up conversation with Rheem much more productive. Please thank Jonathan for me.Best regards, Lisa
