Heat Pump Repair Service in Garland, TX
A heat pump handles both cooling in summer and heating in winter by moving heat rather than generating it. When something goes wrong, the system often fails in ways that look different from a standard AC failure — short cycling in heat mode, stuck in one mode, or running constantly without hitting the set temperature. Heat pumps have more components than a straight-cool system, including a reversing valve that has no equivalent in a regular AC. Diagnosing them takes a different approach.

When to Call
When You Need Heat Pump Repair Service
- Your system blows cool air in heating mode and the outdoor unit is coated in ice
- The heat pump runs fine all summer but switched to heat and now nothing works
- Auxiliary heat strips are running constantly even on mild 45-degree Garland nights
- The system switches between heating and cooling on its own without any thermostat input
How It Works
Our Process for Heat Pump Repair Service
- 1
Mode and Thermostat Verification
We confirm the thermostat is configured correctly for a heat pump and not set up for a gas system.
- 2
Reversing Valve Test
We test the reversing valve and solenoid — the component that switches the system between heating and cooling modes.
- 3
Refrigerant and Defrost Check
We check refrigerant charge and test the defrost board, which is a common failure point in heating mode.
- 4
Auxiliary Heat Assessment
We verify the backup heat strips are working and staged correctly so they only run when actually needed.
Garland Context
Why this matters in Garland
Garland winters are usually mild, but freezing nights do happen and heat pumps struggle when temperatures drop below the low 30s without a working defrost cycle. That's when most heat pump calls come in, and we're ready for that pattern.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Heat pump repairs vary widely in cost depending on whether it's an electrical issue, a reversing valve failure, or a refrigerant problem. Some repairs are simple; a reversing valve replacement is a more involved job — we'll tell you what you're looking at upfront.
