HEAT PUMP SERVICES

Heat Pump Services

Repair, maintenance, and installation for ducted and ductless heat pump systems.

Reversing Valve Repair

The reversing valve switches the heat pump between heating and cooling modes. When it sticks or fails, the system gets locked in one mode — cooling in winter or heating in summer. We diagnose solenoid, valve, and control board causes.

Defrost Board & Sensor

Heat pumps need to defrost their outdoor coils during cold weather. A failed defrost board or sensor means ice buildup on the outdoor unit, which kills heating performance. We replace defrost timers, boards, and temperature sensors.

Refrigerant & Compressor

Heat pumps use the same refrigerant cycle as air conditioners but run year-round, which means more wear on the compressor and more opportunities for leaks. We handle leak repair, recharge, and compressor replacement for all heat pump brands.

Auxiliary & Emergency Heat

When auxiliary heat runs constantly, your energy bill spikes. We diagnose why the heat pump is not handling the load — low refrigerant, dirty coils, or incorrect thermostat settings — and get the primary heat pump back as the main heat source.

New Heat Pump Installation

Replacing a gas furnace with a heat pump? Adding a heat pump to an existing system? We size the equipment using Manual J calculations, handle permits, and install ducted or ductless systems with proper refrigerant line sizing and electrical upgrades.

Dual-Fuel System Service

Dual-fuel systems pair a heat pump with a gas furnace for maximum efficiency. The heat pump handles mild weather; the furnace takes over in deep cold. We service both components and optimize the switchover temperature for the Bay Area climate.

Heat Pumps in the Bay Area: The Smart Choice

The Bay Area climate is ideal for heat pumps. Mild winters rarely drop below freezing, which means an air-source heat pump can provide efficient heating without auxiliary backup for most of the year. In summer, a heat pump works identically to an air conditioner. One system, year-round comfort, lower energy bills.

California is actively incentivizing heat pump adoption through rebates and building code changes. New construction increasingly requires all-electric HVAC, and many homeowners are choosing to replace aging gas furnaces with heat pumps during their next system upgrade. The federal tax credit (up to $2,000) and local utility rebates make the switch more affordable than ever.

Heat Pump vs. Air Conditioner

An air conditioner only cools. A heat pump heats and cools by reversing the refrigerant cycle. In cooling mode, there is no difference in performance or efficiency. In heating mode, a heat pump is 2–3 times more efficient than a gas furnace because it moves heat rather than creating it. For Bay Area homes, this usually means lower annual energy costs.

Heat Pump Questions

Most heat pump repairs cost $200–$900. Capacitor and contactor replacement runs $150–$300. Defrost board is $250–$500. Reversing valve replacement is $500–$900. Compressor replacement costs $1,500–$2,800. We provide a clear quote before starting work.
Yes — the Bay Area is one of the best climates for heat pumps in the country. Mild winters mean the heat pump operates at peak efficiency almost year-round. Combined with federal tax credits (up to $2,000), utility rebates, and lower operating costs than gas, a heat pump typically pays for itself within 5–8 years.
A ducted heat pump system (replacing a furnace/AC combo) typically costs $8,000–$15,000 installed depending on size and efficiency. A ductless mini-split heat pump runs $4,000–$8,000 for a single-zone and $10,000–$20,000 for multi-zone. Federal and state incentives can reduce cost by $2,000–$5,000. Learn about installation options.
Light frost on the outdoor unit during heating is normal — the defrost cycle should clear it every 30–90 minutes. Heavy ice buildup means the defrost system is not working: failed defrost board, bad sensor, stuck reversing valve, or low refrigerant. Call for service before the ice damages the coil fins.
