Heat Pump Problems We Fix in Streamwood
Heat pumps in Streamwood work year-round: cooling in summer and heating through fall, spring and much of winter, often with a gas furnace or electric strips as backup. That makes them harder working than an air conditioner, and the problems we see most are failed capacitors and contactors, defrost sensors and boards, reversing valves that stick between modes, and refrigerant leaks. We test the system in the mode that is giving you trouble and check the backup heat at the same time.
How a Streamwood Heat Pump Repair Visit Works
Every visit follows the same order: thermostat call, outdoor unit power, capacitor and contactor, then the defrost controls and reversing valve, then refrigerant by measurement. Airflow, the filter, the drain and the backup heat get checked too. You approve a written flat-rate price, and the $75 diagnostic is waived with the repair.
Fix It or Replace It? Streamwood Heat Pumps
A $765 defrost board on a 6-year-old heat pump is an easy repair. A $1,470 reversing valve on a 12-year-old heat pump is a different decision, so we price a replacement alongside it.

No-heat call on an older standard-efficiency furnace in a utility room. A previous company had blamed the thermocouple, but it tested at 21 mV, which is in range. With the burners running, our carbon monoxide meter climbed to 221 ppm within 10 minutes. A camera inspection of the heat exchanger found heavy rust and a hole. A failed heat exchanger can let combustion gases into the home, so we recommended replacement based on safety, age, efficiency and repair cost, and the homeowner scheduled a new furnace for later in the week.
No-heat call. The pilot was slow to light, the blower motor and wheel were out of balance, and the fan was stuck on with the control board relays clicking. We also found the high-limit wiring had been removed, which bypasses the safety that shuts the burners off if the furnace overheats. On a test fire our CO meter read up to 18 ppm, and the home's CO detector was old with no batteries. We left the furnace off for safety and recommended replacement, since a new motor, wheel and control board on a furnace this age cost more than they are worth.
Warranty repair on an outdoor AC unit: replaced the 55 µF run capacitor for the condenser fan motor at no charge under our repair warranty.
No heat on a two-stage Lennox furnace. The inducer pressure port was completely clogged and a dirty flame sensor was giving a weak flame signal, so the furnace kept shutting down. We cleared the port, cleaned the flame sensor and the cabinet, and adjusted the blower speed to bring the temperature rise into range. The flue pipe showed some corrosion, so we added a fastener to secure the joint. We tested both heating stages and the furnace ran normally.
New lennox furnace installation in a Streamwood ranch home. EL280 downflow model with a media air cleaner cabinet. New thermostat installation.
Replaced an aging gas water heater with a new Bradford White 40-gallon natural gas water heater. The shared water heater and furnace venting had poor pitch and a tee fitting, so we rebuilt the flue piping with a properly sized wye and correct slope. We also capped an unused dryer gas line and checked draft and combustion with an analyzer before leaving.

What Streamwood homeowners say
“We had a great experience with Pure Comfort Heating and Cooling. Gene Baldassano came out to our home in Streamwood to diagnose a cooling issue and quickly found that it was caused by both a slight fan settings problem, a wiring issue, and also the fact that our cooling system is ancient (more than 25 years old, lol). He explained everything clearly, was completely transparent about what needed to be done, and got it resolved much faster than we expected.”

Streamwood Heat Pump Repair FAQs
How much should I budget for a heat pump repair in Streamwood?
Plan on $275 to $765 for most repairs. Maintenance plan members save 10 to 15%, and the $75 diagnostic is waived with the repair.
Why does my heat pump heat poorly when it is very cold?
Output drops as it gets colder outside. Dual-fuel systems switch to the furnace and electric systems use heat strips. If that handoff is not happening, we check the thermostat and controls.
Can I get same-day heat pump repair in Streamwood?
Often, yes. Phones are answered 24/7, and we are about 25 minutes away in Streamwood.
Why is my outdoor heat pump covered in ice?
Usually a defrost problem: a failed defrost sensor ($340) or defrost control board ($765). Low refrigerant and poor airflow can also cause it. Turn the system to emergency heat and call us.
Can you fix my Carrier, Trane or Mitsubishi heat pump?
Yes. We service all major ducted and ductless heat pump brands.
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.
