Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repair
A struggling heat pump usually gives some warning before it fails. Watch for these signs that it is time to call for repair.
- Weak or no airflow
- Blowing warm air in winter
- Unusual noises or vibrations
- Ice buildup on the outdoor unit
- Short cycling on and off
- Higher than normal energy bills
- The system runs constantly without stopping
Common Heat Pump Issues We Fix
Heat pump problems can come from several different sources, and our technicians are equipped to handle them all. Refrigerant leaks are a common issue, often causing a system to lose its ability to heat or cool properly, and they require a trained technician to locate and repair them safely. Electrical issues, like a faulty capacitor or wiring problem, can also cause your system to stop running or cycle improperly.
Frozen coils are another common concern, especially during Indiana’s cold winter months, and they usually indicate airflow restrictions or refrigerant issues that need addressing. Worn or failing components, such as the compressor or reversing valve, can also cause a heat pump to underperform or stop working altogether. Whatever the issue, our technicians diagnose the root cause rather than just treating the symptoms, so your repair actually solves the problem.
Our Heat Pump Repair Process
When you call Complete Comfort for a heat pump repair, our technicians begin with a full diagnostic to identify the exact cause of the issue. We check refrigerant levels, electrical components, and moving parts to pinpoint the source of the problem rather than guessing.
Once we know what is wrong, we explain our findings in plain language and provide upfront pricing before any repair work begins. Our technicians then complete the necessary repairs using quality parts built to last, and we test the system afterward to confirm it is heating and cooling properly. We do not consider the job finished until your home is comfortable again and your system is running the way it should.

A heat pump breakdown does not always happen at a convenient time, especially during Indiana’s coldest winter nights or most humid summer days. Complete Comfort offers 24/7 emergency repair service, so you are never left waiting when your comfort is at stake. Our technicians respond quickly and come prepared to get your system back up and running as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my heat pump blowing cool air in the winter?
Often it is not a problem at all. Heat pumps deliver air in the 90 to 100 degree range, cooler than the 120-plus a gas furnace puts out, so it can feel lukewarm against your hand even while the house heats properly. A few minutes of genuinely cool air also happens during a defrost cycle. What does point to a real fault is air that stays cold, a system stuck in cooling mode, a failed reversing valve, or low refrigerant charge. If the thermostat setpoint is never reached, it needs diagnosis.
Is ice on my outdoor unit normal?
Some frost during damp Indiana winter weather is expected, and the defrost cycle clears it on its own every so often. A thin coating that disappears within a cycle is normal operation. What is not normal is a coil encased in ice, ice that never clears through multiple cycles, or ice building at the base of the unit from roof runoff or poor drainage. Those point to a defrost control failure, a bad sensor, low charge, or restricted airflow, and running the system that way risks the compressor.
Why does my heat pump keep switching to emergency or auxiliary heat?
Auxiliary heat is supposed to engage during genuinely cold Greenwood mornings when the heat pump alone cannot keep pace. It is not supposed to run in 45-degree weather. When it does, the usual causes are low refrigerant, a dirty outdoor coil, restricted airflow from a clogged filter, a defrost problem, or a balance point set incorrectly in the thermostat. This matters financially, because auxiliary heat is electric resistance heating and it is the fastest way to run up a winter electric bill in central Indiana.
How quickly can you respond to a heat pump emergency?
No-heat and no-cooling calls get moved ahead of routine appointments, and we send the closest available technician. Real arrival time depends on where you are across our Greenwood service area and how many emergencies are already running, which is expected during the first hard freeze in December or a July heat advisory. We give you an honest arrival window when you call and update you if it shifts.
What causes a heat pump to stop heating or cooling entirely?
A complete shutdown usually traces to a tripped breaker, a failed capacitor, a bad contactor, a compressor failure, or a reversing valve stuck between modes. Blown low-voltage fuses and thermostat wiring faults also cut everything off. Check the breaker first, since that is free. If resetting it works briefly and it trips again, stop resetting and call, because repeated trips signal an electrical fault that gets worse and more expensive each time.
How much does heat pump repair cost?
It depends on which component failed. Capacitors, contactors, and sensors sit at the low end. Reversing valves, defrost boards, fan motors, and compressors run considerably higher. We diagnose first, give you the price before any work begins, and you approve it before we start. If your system is under ten years old, have the model and serial ready, because parts may still fall under the manufacturer warranty even when labor does not.
Why is my heat pump making loud noises?
The sounds tell us different things. A clunk or whoosh when switching between heating and cooling is normal reversing valve operation. Ongoing rattling usually means loose panels or debris in the outdoor unit, which is common in fall around Greenwood when leaves and sticks work their way into the cabinet. Screeching or grinding points to failing motor bearings or a compressor problem, and a persistent hum with no fan movement often means a failed capacitor. Metallic scraping means shutting it down immediately.
Should I repair or replace my heat pump?
Age drives the decision. Heat pumps typically last around fifteen years here, since running year round doubles their hours compared to a furnace. Past that mark, a major failure like a compressor or reversing valve is rarely worth repairing. Also factor in how many repairs you have paid for recently and whether the system still uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced and expensive to source. We quote the repair first and lay the numbers side by side.
Can I keep running my heat pump while I wait for a repair?
Depends on the symptom. Reduced performance is generally safe to run. Shut it down at the thermostat and leave it off if you see a fully iced coil, hear grinding or scraping, smell burning or hot electrical odor, or if the breaker trips on every start. Continuing to run a system in those conditions is how a moderate repair turns into a compressor replacement. If you have gas backup, dual fuel homes can usually lean on the furnace in the meantime.
Why did my electric bill spike without the weather changing?
This is one of the more common calls we get from Greenwood homeowners, and it is usually the heat pump quietly relying on auxiliary heat far more than it should. Low refrigerant, a dirty coil, a stuck defrost cycle, or a failing compressor all reduce heating capacity, and the system compensates with expensive backup heat rather than shutting off. The house stays comfortable, so nothing seems wrong until the bill arrives. A diagnostic visit usually pays for itself here.
