Heat pumps deliver efficient heating and cooling year-round—but when performance drops, comfort and efficiency suffer. Meyer’s Heating, Cooling, & Plumbing specializes in heat pump diagnostics and repair to restore dependable comfort, lower energy waste, and extend system life.
Unlike traditional systems that generate heat, a heat pump transfers it. In the winter, it extracts heat from the outside air and brings it indoors. In the summer, it works in reverse, cooling your home by moving heat outside. Here are a few signs that your heat pump may require repair:
Heat pump blows cool air in heat mode (or warm air in cool mode)
Ice buildup on the outdoor unit (beyond normal defrost cycles)
High electric bills or longer run times
Short cycling, tripped breakers, or frequent resets
Weak airflow, unusual noises, or new vibrations
Thermostat setpoint not being reached
System Evaluation: Check refrigerant charge, reversing valve, defrost board, sensors, and electrical components.
Airflow & Duct Review: Verify clean filters, proper blower speeds, and duct static pressure.
Precision Repair: Replace faulty components, correct charge, and recalibrate controls.
Defrost & Controls Verification: Ensure proper defrost timing and thermostat communication.
Performance Test: Confirm temperature split, amperage draw, and reliable switchover between modes.

A heat pump is an all-in-one system that provides both heating and cooling. In the summer, it pulls heat out of your home like an air conditioner. In the winter, it reverses the process, drawing heat from the outside air (even when it’s cold) and moving it indoors to keep you warm.
With proper maintenance, most heat pumps last 12 to 15 years. Regular tune-ups, timely repairs, and changing filters can extend the system’s lifespan and help it run more efficiently.
