This is called short cycling, a common issue here that strains your system and hikes energy bills. It's often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, or a faulty thermostat. Our technicians will diagnose the root cause—whether it's a simple fix like cleaning the coils or a more involved repair—to restore proper, efficient operation and protect your equipment.

This usually points to a problem with the heat pump's reversing valve, which switches between heating and cooling modes. When it fails or gets stuck, your system can't produce warm air. Yes, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing reversing valve issues. Our experts will test the valve's operation and electrical components to perform the precise repair needed to restore your home's warmth.

Prevention is key! We recommend a bi-annual professional maintenance check, ideally in spring and fall. This allows us to clean critical components, check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, and ensure the reversing valve is operating smoothly. Combined with regular filter changes, this proactive care can prevent most short cycling and valve issues, saving you from discomfort and costly repairs.
