Heat pump repair in Columbia

A heat pump in Columbia cools all summer and heats most of the winter, so it logs more hours than a straight air conditioner. The calls we see are icing that never clears, short cycling, lukewarm air, backup heat running in mild weather and noisy reversing valves. Light frost and a short steamy defrost cycle on a cold morning are normal; a solid block of ice is not.

If the outdoor coil is iced solid, switch the thermostat to emergency heat and call. We will check the defrost controls, refrigerant charge, outdoor fan and reversing valve and tell you whether repair or replacement is the better spend.

Keep leaves, mulch and snow off the outdoor unit and change the filter on schedule. Because a heat pump works in both seasons, a check in spring and again in fall catches weak capacitors, dirty coils and defrost problems before they turn into a no-heat or no-cool night.

Heating a Columbia house

Columbia gets the same winter cold snaps as the rest of Middle Tennessee, plus the occasional ice storm. Older homes near downtown may still run gas furnaces in a crawl space or closet, newer neighborhoods lean on heat pumps, and the farms and rural lots around the city often run all-electric systems. We service all three from the Garden Street shop. Ice storms can also knock out power for hours; if the whole street is dark, check our outage maps page before assuming the equipment failed.

Questions from Columbia homeowners

Should my heat pump have frost on it?

Light frost with a periodic defrost cycle is normal in cold, damp weather. Solid ice that does not clear is not.

Can you replace a heat pump?

Yes. Estimates are free and new unit changeouts take the published 5% offer.

Why is my backup heat running so much?

In mild weather it usually points to a refrigerant, defrost or thermostat problem. Call and we will test it.
