From Strange Noises to Poor Heating, These Are Heat Pump Problems We’re Always Solving
Your heat pump heating and cooling system is known for being energy efficient and reliable, which is probably why you chose it—or maybe it came with the house! Either way, it’s a solid system that usually does a good job keeping things comfortable.
Still, parts wear down, airflow gets restricted, and components can fail over time. The good news is that many of these problems are repairable and can give your system years of life back. For most of the issues below, calling sooner usually means an easier repair and a lower bill.
Heat Pump Not Turning On
You set the thermostat, wait for the heat, and nothing happens. No airflow. No sound. A heat pump that won’t turn on can be dealing with an electrical issue, a control problem, or trouble in the outdoor unit. Sometimes the system shuts itself down to prevent further damage. We’ll track down what stopped it, fix it safely, and get the system running again.
Heat pump systems are designed to deliver far more heat than the electricity they consume. This performance is measured using HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) or the newer HSPF2 rating. Most modern air source heat pumps installed today achieve HSPF2 ratings of 7.5–9+, meaning they can deliver 200–300% efficiency under typical winter conditions.
You’re getting two to three units of heat for every unit of electricity used—something no combustion-based system can do.
Heat Pump Not Heating
A heat pump blowing cold air instead of warm air usually isn’t operating in heating mode correctly. Refrigerant leaks, damaged refrigerant lines, or a failing reversing valve can all cause this. Problems with the outdoor unit can also limit heat output. We’ll get the system back in the correct mode and stop cold air from coming through your vents.
Heat Pump Not Reaching the Right Temperature
The system runs, but the house never quite gets comfortable. This often points to airflow trouble, dirty air filters, or a lack of proper airflow through the system. Low refrigerant can also keep the heat pump from keeping up, driving up energy consumption in the process. We’ll restore airflow, correct the issue, and help the system reach the temperature you set.
Heat Pump Heating Unevenly
Some rooms feel fine, others stay chilly no matter how long the system runs. Uneven heating usually comes from airflow problems, clogged air filters, or an outdoor unit that’s struggling to keep up. Refrigerant leaks can also reduce heat output across the house. We find where the heat is being lost and balance the system so comfort feels even again.
Heat Pump Running All the Time
If your heat pump never seems to shut off, it’s working harder than it should. Low refrigerant, airflow restrictions, or performance issues can lead to increased energy bills and higher energy consumption. Constant run time adds wear and raises the risk of further damage. We’ll identify what’s forcing the system to overwork and bring it back to a healthier cycle.
Heat Pump Making Unusual Noises
A heat pump shouldn’t clank, buzz, or grind while it’s running. Unusual noises can come from loose parts, failing motors, refrigerant issues, or trouble inside the outdoor unit. Ignoring those sounds often turns a small repair into a bigger one. We’ll find the source and fix it before it causes more damage.
How Much Does a Heat Pump Repair Cost?
This is usually the first thing people want to know, and we get it—you want a number before you commit to anything. The cost of heat pump repair depends on what’s wrong, which parts are involved, and the overall condition of your heat pump system. Smaller repairs that restore heat pump performance can be very manageable, while more involved repairs may cost more. When it makes sense, we also offer financing options to help spread things out.
We don’t guess, and we don’t surprise you. Our technicians explain what’s happening, walk you through the repair, and give you an upfront estimate before any work starts. The only way to get an accurate price is to have a professional take a look and diagnose the issue properly.
Here’s a general range of common heat pump heating repairs, from typically most expensive to least:
- Compressor Replacement
- Coil Replacement
- Refrigerant Recharge
- Blower Motor Repair
- Thermostat Replacement

Is a Heat Pump Replacement the Better Decision?
Some repairs are easy to say yes to. A part fails, we fix it, and your heat is back on. Other times, the repair opens a bigger conversation, especially when the heat pump requires major work or expensive replacement parts. That’s usually when heat pump replacement comes up, and we know that decision carries weight. Our role is to help you look at the situation clearly, without pressure, and figure out what’s best for you.
Here’s what we look at together before recommending a new heat pump installation:
- System Age: Most heat pump systems last about 12–15 years. As they get older, repairs tend to be more frequent and less effective at restoring long-term reliability.
- Cost of Necessary Repairs: A small fix is one thing. Major repairs involving compressors, coils, or other high-cost parts can push repair costs close to replacement territory.
- Current Performance: If heat pump performance has dropped—long run times, uneven heating, or rising energy use—it’s often a sign the system is wearing out overall.
- Likelihood of Future Breakdowns: Some repairs truly solve the problem. Others only delay the next issue. Knowing which situation you’re in helps avoid repeated service calls.
- Comfort and Efficiency Going Forward: A new heat pump installation can deliver more consistent heating, better efficiency, and fewer surprises over the next several years.
At Clear the Air, we’re always honest with you. We’ll explain what your system needs, what repairs will realistically accomplish, and when replacement makes more sense. Sometimes the answer is clear. Other times, it’s a conversation. Either way, you’ll have the facts to decide with confidence.
Many Heat Pump Repairs Can Be Avoided With Regular Maintenance
Most heat pump repairs don’t start as big failures. They start with the system working a little harder than it should, heating taking longer, or the unit running more often. Over time, that extra wear chips away at heat pump performance and energy efficiency, until a simple issue turns into an HVAC repair. Regular heat pump maintenance is what helps stop that slide.
A heat pump tune-up gives us the chance to clean things up, check how the system is heating, and fix small problems before they grow. It’s the key to lower utility bills and an extended system lifespan.
The Clear Advantage Membership covers factory-fresh tune-ups for your heating and cooling systems, priority service—even nights, weekends, and holidays—and guaranteed faster emergency response. Members also get discounted service fees, repair savings, and extended warranties on our work. On top of that, your membership payments can be credited toward future system upgrades, and the plan can even transfer with you if you move within our service area.

Frequently Asked Questions
What heat pump troubleshooting can I do at home?
You can start with a few basic checks. Make sure the thermostat is set to heat and hasn’t been switched accidentally, check that the breaker hasn’t tripped, and replace a dirty air filter if needed. Also look outside to be sure the outdoor unit isn’t blocked by debris. If those steps don’t help, it’s time to call for service.
Do you offer emergency heat pump repair?
Yes. If your heat pump stops heating and the house is getting cold, we offer emergency heat pump repair. We’ll work to get a technician out quickly, find the problem, and restore heat as soon as possible.
How do I know if the issue is with my heat pump or my thermostat?
If the system doesn’t turn on at all, runs at odd times, or doesn’t respond to temperature changes, the thermostat could be the issue. If the system runs but doesn’t heat well, blows cold air, or makes noise, the problem is more likely with the heat pump itself. We test both to be sure.
Is it worth repairing an older heat pump?
Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn’t. The answer depends on the age of the system, how often it’s needed repairs, and the cost of the current work. We’ll explain what the repair would accomplish and help you decide if it makes sense to move forward.
How quickly will my heat pump unit warm up my home again once repaired?
Most systems begin warming the home shortly after the repair is completed. Heat pumps warm gradually, so the temperature may rise over a short period rather than all at once. We test the system before leaving to make sure heat is being delivered properly.
