What’s included in this visit
Thermostat and the call for heat
We confirm the thermostat is actually calling and the wiring is sound. A surprising number of dead heat pump calls end right here.
Outdoor unit and the defrost cycle
Ice that never clears is the signature Middle Tennessee winter failure. We test the defrost sensor and control board before anything else.
Airflow: filter, blower, ducts
A choked filter or tired blower makes the whole system look broken. We check airflow before the expensive stuff.
Electrical: capacitors and contactors
Humming with no fan, or a compressor that will not start, usually traces to a weak capacitor or pitted contactor.
Refrigerant charge
Low charge cripples both heating and defrosting. We find the leak and repair it, then recharge to spec instead of topping off and hoping.
Reversing valve
The valve that switches the system between heating and cooling. We test the solenoid and valve operation before condemning anything bigger.

- Clean, careful techs. Shoe covers, drop cloths, and a workspace left cleaner than we found it.
Repair or replace? An honest way to decide
| Situation | Our recommendation | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Under ~12 years old, one failed part | Repair | Plenty of life left; repair is the cheaper path |
| Cracked heat exchanger | Replace | A safety issue: cracked exchangers are not repaired |
| 15+ years with frequent breakdowns | Replace | Repair costs stack up fast on an aging unit |
| Failed compressor after 12 years | Evaluate | We test before guessing, then give you both options |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my heat pump covered in ice?
Light frost that melts during defrost cycles is normal in winter. A thick shell of ice that never clears usually means the defrost sensor, control board, or reversing valve is not doing its job.
Is it normal for auxiliary heat to run in winter?
In short bursts during the coldest snaps, yes. If aux heat runs for hours or most days, your heat pump is likely not keeping up on its own, which usually means low refrigerant, a weak compressor, or a defrost problem.
How cold is too cold for a heat pump in Tennessee?
Most modern units heat effectively down to about 25 to 30 degrees, which covers the bulk of a Middle Tennessee winter. Below that, auxiliary heat helps, and bills climb. If yours cannot hold temperature in the 30s, something is wrong beyond normal cold-weather limits.
Should I repair or replace my aging heat pump?
Under about 12 years with a single electrical or sensor failure, repair is the smart move. Past 12 to 15 years with a failed compressor, repeated winter breakdowns, or climbing bills, replacement usually costs less over the next five years.
