Common Heat Pump Repairs in Algonquin
Most Algonquin 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.
How a Algonquin Heat Pump Repair Visit Works
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.
Repair or Replace Your Algonquin Heat Pump?
We weigh the repair price against the age, refrigerant and history of the system. An isolated failure on a heat pump with a good record is usually worth repairing. A major refrigerant repair on an aging unit usually is not. You get both options in writing.

No-heat call. We traced the problem to a failed furnace blower motor, which keeps the furnace from heating safely. We confirmed the motor failure and sent the homeowner a quote for a replacement ECM blower motor.

Heat Pump Questions From Algonquin
Is heat pump repair priced by the hour?
No. Every repair is flat-rate with parts and labor included. Most cost $275 to $765 in Algonquin.
My heat pump only cools and will not heat. Why?
The reversing valve or its solenoid may be stuck, or the thermostat may not be calling for heat pump heat. We test the valve, coil and wiring.
Can I get same-day heat pump repair in Algonquin?
Often, yes. Phones are answered 24/7, and we are about 30 minutes away in Streamwood.
What should I do if my heat pump is frozen?
Switch to emergency or auxiliary heat so the outdoor unit can thaw, check the filter and call for service. Do not chip the ice off the coil.
Do you repair heat pumps from other brands and installers?
Yes. We are a Lennox Premier Dealer, but we repair all major heat pump brands, including systems another company installed.
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.
Can a tune-up prevent heat pump repairs?
It catches weak capacitors, dirty coils and drain problems early, which prevents many breakdowns.
