How heat pump repair works
What a heat pump repair job looks like in West Linn.
Heat pumps are more complex than furnaces, and most repair shops don't train their techs deeply on the variable-speed inverter side. We do. Common faults: refrigerant leak, frozen outdoor coil from a stuck defrost cycle, failed reversing valve, or inverter board faults that throw manufacturer-specific codes.
We pull fault codes with manufacturer tools, verify refrigerant pressures by mode, test the defrost sequence, and check electrical at the contactor. Real diagnostics — not guess-and-replace.
Common parts ride with the truck: capacitors, contactors, defrost boards, reversing-valve solenoids. After the fix, we run the system through both heat AND cool mode and verify defrost works before we leave.
Heat Pump Repair questions West Linn homeowners ask
- Yes — we cover every ZIP in West Linn (97068) and the surrounding Clackamas County area. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed on every job.
- We're 10 minutes from our Oregon City shop, so trucks are rolling through West Linn most days of the week. Same-day diagnosis on most heat pump repair calls.
- Long outdoor-to-indoor line-set runs on hillside homes that need careful refrigerant charge calculation.
- Heat pumps build a small ice layer in heating mode. That's normal, and a defrost cycle melts it every 30–90 minutes. If the unit is fully encased in ice, the defrost cycle isn't running.
- Aux heat is normal during very cold weather (below ~30°F). But if it's running on a 45°F day, something is wrong: usually low refrigerant, a stuck reversing valve, or an undersized system.
