Why Lake Barrington Heat Pumps Stop Heating or Cooling
Ice on the outdoor coil, cold air in heat mode and a system stuck in cooling are the heat pump problems Lake Barrington homeowners call about most in winter. In summer it is the same list as an AC: capacitors, contactors and refrigerant. We find the cause with meters and gauges before quoting.
How a Lake Barrington Heat Pump Repair Visit Works
Our technician tests heat mode and cool mode, watches a defrost cycle when the weather allows, and measures refrigerant pressures and temperatures. Electrical parts get metered. Then you get the cause, the fix and a flat-rate price before anything is replaced.
Repair or Replace Your Lake Barrington Heat Pump?
Small parts are almost always worth fixing: a capacitor runs $275 to $348 and a defrost sensor $340. Big repairs on an older heat pump deserve a second look. A compressor is $2,935 and a reversing valve $1,470, so on a heat pump past 10 to 12 years, we will price a replacement too.
