Is your heat pump unit on but not heating or cooling your home? Your heat pump may have a leak in the refrigerant line, which carries the heat or cold back & forth from your home to the outside. If not addressed quickly & refrigerant levels get too low, your heat pump repair is at risk of becoming a costly replacement. Call the HVAC experts at Essig for a heat pump repair diagnostic today!
If so, your heat pump is experiencing short cycling, and not completing a full heating or cooling cycle. This can lead to serious issues that will wear down the unit quickly & shorten the lifespan of your heat pump.
A cold Reading, PA winter can be miserable when your heat pump isn’t actually heating your home. You may have a problem with the reversing valve, which switches the refrigerant line flow from heating to cooling. Call Essig HVAC technicians for a heat pump repair today, before your heat pump is locked into heating or cooling mode.

Does your home not ever seem to reach a comfortable temperature? When you turn the temperature up all the way, does it still feel cold in your house? This is likely due to a fan motor or thermistor issue within your heat pump system and will require professional repair from a certified technician at Essig.
If your heat pump is running at full blast with a steady airflow and you’re still cold, then your heat pump is acting up and needs to be inspected. The problem could be with the fan or fan motor. There might be some thermostat issues that have to be addressed.
It’s also possible that your heat pump’s electronic control board or PCB assembly is malfunctioning. The thermistor, which signals the main control board when to turn the compressor on or off, could be failing as well.
On average, heat pump repairs cost between $150 and $1,000, depending on the issue at hand. Minor problems, such as a clogged filter or replacing a capacitor, are usually on the lower end, while major repairs, like fixing a compressor, will be much more expensive. If your heat pump isn’t working as it should this fall, call our expert technicians at (610) 215-9512 for a full diagnosis and a transparent repair estimate!
One of the most common heat pump issues is reduced airflow caused by dirty filters or malfunctioning fan motors.
