Our diagnostic is $69 and is applied toward the repair. Common repairs — capacitors, reversing valves, refrigerant recharges, defrost boards — typically range from $150–$900 depending on parts and labor. We provide a written quote before any work begins.

This is often caused by a faulty reversing valve (which switches between heating and cooling), low refrigerant, a defrost issue, or a failed compressor. Our $69 diagnostic will identify the exact cause.

Heat pumps are designed to run longer than furnaces — especially in cold weather — but if it never cycles off, it may indicate low refrigerant, a dirty filter, a refrigerant leak, or a failing compressor.

Yes — grinding usually indicates a failing motor bearing, and squealing can mean a worn belt or bearing. These should be addressed before they cause more expensive damage. Call us at 425-610-6635.

Some frost on the outdoor unit in winter is normal — the defrost cycle handles it. But if the unit is completely encased in ice, it may indicate a defrost board failure, low refrigerant, or restricted airflow. This needs prompt attention.

Yes — we repair both ducted heat pump systems and ductless mini-split systems from all major brands.

If your heat pump is under 12–15 years old and the repair cost is less than half the replacement cost, repair usually makes sense. We give you an honest assessment — we will never push a replacement you do not need.
