Heat Pump Acting Weird?

Heat pumps are efficient as hell when they're working right. When they're not, you get a house that won't cool, a heating bill through the roof, and a lot of techs scratching their heads.

Here's the deal with heat pumps—they're not air conditioners with a fancy name. They run year-round, reverse the refrigerant flow to switch between heating and cooling, and have parts most techs only touch a couple times a year. That's a problem when yours breaks.

What we see all the time:

**Summer:** System freezes up, blows lukewarm air, or short-cycles every five minutes. Half the guys out there just dump refrigerant in and hope. We actually check the reversing valve, metering device, and airflow before we touch anything.

**Winter:** Outdoor unit stuck in defrost mode. Aux heat running nonstop—watch that electric bill. System can't keep up below 40 degrees. Nine times out of ten, it's a defrost control, low charge, or the unit was undersized from day one.

**Year-round:** Grinding noise from the outdoor unit. Compressor that sounds like it's working way too hard. Thermostat says one thing, your house says another.

We've been fixing these since the '80s, back when heat pumps were rare in Sacramento. Now half the new builds have them. We know what fails, why it fails, and how to fix it without guessing.
