Most Central Florida homes rely on a heat pump to cool all summer and heat on the cooler winter nights. Because a heat pump runs in both seasons, it needs a technician who understands reversing valves, defrost controls and backup heat as well as cooling.
Common heat pump problems we fix
- No heat or cool air in heating mode
- Stuck reversing valve
- Defrost board or sensor failures
- Auxiliary heat running too often and raising bills
- Outdoor unit icing up in winter
Heat pump replacement
Modern variable-speed heat pumps are quieter, control humidity better and use far less energy than older single-stage units. We size each system with a load calculation and help you compare efficiency levels.
Heat Pumps questions
Is a heat pump a good choice in Florida?
Yes. Florida’s mild winters make heat pumps an efficient way to both cool and heat most homes.
Why is my heat pump blowing cool air in heat mode?
It may be in a defrost cycle, or it could be a reversing valve, refrigerant or control problem. If it lasts more than a few minutes, call for service.
How long do heat pumps last?
With regular maintenance, most heat pumps last 10–15 years in Florida’s climate.
