Heat Pump Problems We Fix in Inverness
Heat pumps need a working defrost cycle, a reversing valve that shifts cleanly and the right refrigerant charge to heat well in a Inverness winter. When one of those goes, you feel it as cool air, heavy ice or a system that never shuts off. We test each piece and give you a flat-rate price before any work.
Step by Step: Heat Pump Repair in Inverness
First we confirm power and the thermostat signal. Then we test the outdoor unit: capacitor, contactor, fan motor and compressor. In heating season, we check the defrost sensor and board and whether the reversing valve shifts. Refrigerant comes last, measured by superheat and subcooling. You approve the price before we start.
When to Repair and When to Replace a Inverness Heat Pump
Most heat pump repairs are worth it. The exceptions are compressor failures and repeated refrigerant leaks on older units, and systems that never kept the house comfortable in the first place. We will tell you plainly which one you have.

What Inverness Homeowners Ask About Heat Pumps
How much is a heat pump service call in Inverness?
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 Inverness?
About 20 minutes from our shop in Streamwood. We cover Inverness homes in 60067 and 60010.
How does a heat pump defrost cycle work?
The system briefly runs in cooling mode to warm the outdoor coil and melt frost. If ice keeps building, a sensor, control board or reversing valve is often the cause.
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.
How long does a heat pump last?
Usually 12 to 15 years here, since it runs in both heating and cooling seasons. Yearly maintenance helps it reach the high end.
What does a heat pump tune-up include?
Electrical tests, refrigerant check, coil and drain cleaning, defrost and reversing valve checks and a look at the backup heat.
