Preventing Heat Pump Problems After Repair
After your Greenfield, IN heat pump repair has finished most people ask us how to avoid the next one. And to be honest, a lot of these calls trace back to a skipped tune-up. Because heat pumps work year round you need to get heat pump maintenance twice a year instead of once like we usually recommend for furnace and AC units. It also helps to avoid deep thermostat setbacks because when the system has to make up a big temperature swing it leans on aux heat to get there.
But eventually there comes a time where repairs stop making sense. After 12 to 15 years if there’s still repeated failures or parts giving out then replacement is usually the better call and we’ll tell you instead of selling you on repeated repairs. Systems still running R-22 refrigerant are especially important to replace because it’s been phased out and is expensive to source. Check out our heat pump installation page to learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my heat pump blowing cool air when it's set to heat?
Sometimes the heat pump can be on heat mode but since it’s below body temperature it feels cool to the touch. If the house is holding temperature then there isn’t cause for concern, but if it isn’t then you may be dealing with a stuck reversing valve or low refrigerant.
Why is my heat pump stuck in cooling mode?
This can point to the reversing valve or the solenoid that controls it. It’s not a DIY fix and will need a technician with refrigerant certification.
How much does heat pump repair cost?
This depends on what failed. Capacitors, contactors and sensors sit on the lower end while compressor and reversing valve work runs higher. We’ll give you a full quote before any work begins.

Yes. We are Greenfield, IN 24/7 heat pump repair providers with after hours and weekend availability across our entire service area.
