Common Heat Pump Repairs in Wood Dale
Most Wood Dale heat pump calls come in one of two seasons: the first hot week of summer and the first cold snap of fall. In winter, the usual complaints are an outdoor unit caked in ice, cool air from the vents or a heat pump that runs nonstop. In summer, it is weak cooling or an outdoor unit that will not start. Capacitors, contactors, defrost controls and reversing valves cause most of them.
Our Heat Pump Repair Process in Wood Dale
We diagnose in the failing mode, measure before replacing anything and explain what we find. Most heat pump repairs are electrical or control parts we carry on the truck. Refrigerant leaks are found with a nitrogen pressure test, and you get a written price for each step.
Is Your Wood Dale Heat Pump Worth Fixing?
Heat pumps here typically last 12 to 15 years. If yours is younger and the problem is electrical or a defrost control, repair it. If it is older and needs a compressor, coil or reversing valve, compare it with a new system first. Remaining warranty can change the answer, so we check it.

Common Wood Dale Heat Pump Questions
How much is a heat pump service call in Wood Dale?
The diagnostic is $75, or $99 evenings, weekends and holidays, and it is waived when you approve the repair. Most repairs that follow cost $275 to $765.
Why is my heat pump blowing cool air in heating mode?
Heat pump air feels cooler than furnace air, but noticeably cold air can mean a stuck reversing valve, a defrost problem, low refrigerant or backup heat that is not coming on. We test each one.
How far is Pure Comfort from Wood Dale?
About 22 minutes from our shop in Streamwood. We cover Wood Dale homes in 60191.
Is ice on my heat pump normal in winter?
Light frost is normal, and the heat pump clears it with a defrost cycle. Heavy ice that stays after defrost points to a defrost sensor, defrost board, airflow or refrigerant problem.
Will you work on a heat pump another company installed?
Yes. We repair all major brands and file manufacturer warranty claims for covered parts.
Should I repair or replace a 12-year-old heat pump?
Small repairs are usually worth it. A compressor or reversing valve on a heat pump that old usually is not, so we price both.
When should I service my heat pump?
Spring for cooling and fall for heating. A fall check confirms the defrost cycle and backup heat before cold weather.
