8 Signs You Need Professional Heat Pump Repair
Even the most dependable heat pump needs repair eventually. If you notice any of these issues, schedule a same-day service today:
- Your heat pump has little to no airflow.
- The unit emits musty or burning odors.
- There’s ice on the unit or around its evaporator coils.
- The heat pump cycles on and off too frequently.
- You notice uneven temperatures, hot spots, or cold drafts.
- The heat pump makes grinding or buzzing sounds.
- The unit leaks refrigerant.
- The circuit breaker trips when the heat pump turns on.
After inspection, a Comfort First technician can determine whether the issue is repairable or if heat pump replacement is the best option.
Our general rule of thumb is if the cost of a repair is 50% or more of the cost of a new heat pump, it’s more cost-effective to upgrade.
DIY Heat Pump Troubleshooting
Before calling a Comfort First professional, try these simple steps to see if you can resolve a heat pump issue on your own:
- Check your thermostat: Ensure the fan is set on auto and to the right temperature. Raise or lower it a few degrees to see if the unit will turn on.
- Replace the air filter: A clogged or dirty air filter will restrict your heat pump’s airflow.
- Inspect the outdoor unit: Make sure your heat pump’s outdoor condenser is free of debris, such as leaves, twigs, or dirt.
- Check electrical connections: Double-check that the circuit breaker is on and that your heat pump is receiving power. Reset it if needed.
- Check vents: Ensure your heat pump’s vents aren’t blocked or closed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do heat pumps need regular maintenance?
Yes. Schedule heat pump maintenance twice a year. They help prevent catastrophic breakdowns or costly repairs.
Regular inspections allow technicians to catch minor issues before they become major problems.
How often should I change my heat pump's air filters?
We recommend changing your air filter at least every three months to promote good indoor air quality and optimal performance.
Households with pets or people prone to allergies may benefit from changing the filter monthly.
How long do heat pumps last?
When properly maintained, a heat pump lasts 10 to 15 years. However, its components — like the compressor and coils — naturally degrade over time due to regular use.
