This is a frequent issue in our area and is often caused by a failing heat pump reversing valve. This crucial component directs refrigerant flow to switch between heating and cooling cycles. Over time, it can become stuck due to wear, debris, or electrical failure. Our technicians at Jones Electric are experts at diagnosing and repairing or replacing reversing valves to restore your system's proper function and your home's comfort.

Thermostat malfunctions are common and can stem from several issues. It could be incorrect calibration, aging components, wiring problems, or even a location receiving direct sunlight or drafts. We'll perform a thorough diagnostic check, which includes testing the thermostat's accuracy, inspecting wiring, and assessing its placement. Often, we can repair the issue, or we can recommend and install a reliable, modern thermostat for precise temperature control and improved energy efficiency.

Key signs include the system blowing cool air when set to heat (or warm air when set to cool), a noticeable hissing or chattering noise from the outdoor unit, or the system being completely stuck in one operating mode. If you notice any of these issues, it's time to call Jones Electric. Prompt service can prevent further strain on the compressor and other components, saving you from more costly repairs down the line.
