When your system isn’t performing as it should, call Hansen Super Techs for professional heat pump repair. Our licensed technicians will diagnose the issue, explain the problem clearly, and provide an upfront estimate with no hidden fees.
We arrive prepared to handle common issues such as frozen coils, electrical malfunctions, strange noises, or poor airflow. Hansen Super Techs ensures your heat pump is repaired quickly so your comfort is restored.
Experienced Heat Pump Technicians
Our technicians inspect the equipment and explain the fault before recommending work. We consider thermostat signals, airflow and the operating condition of the indoor and outdoor units. Tell us whether the trouble appears in heating, cooling or both modes and whether it happens continuously or only at certain times.
Intermittent problems are easier to investigate when you can describe the pattern. Note the outdoor conditions, thermostat setting and whether the indoor fan or outdoor unit was running when comfort changed. A photo of a thermostat message can also help. Share recent filter changes, power interruptions or previous repairs with the technician so the visit starts with an accurate history.
Signs That Your Heat Pump Needs Service
- Unusually high energy bills
- Weak airflow from vents
- Strange noises such as buzzing, rattling, or grinding
- Frozen outdoor unit or ice buildup on coils
- Uneven heating or cooling throughout the home
- Unresponsive thermostat
- Heat pump constantly running without shutting off
- System not switching between heating and cooling modes
If a symptom persists, request heat pump service. Avoid repeatedly resetting a tripped breaker or chipping ice off the outdoor unit. These problems need diagnosis rather than a forced restart.
Heat Pump Blowing Cold Air in Winter?
Heat-pump supply air can feel less hot than furnace air, and a brief defrost cycle can change what you feel at the vents. Persistent cold airflow, falling indoor temperature or heavy ice that does not clear calls for attention. Check that the thermostat is in heating mode and note what happens; do not open the unit or handle refrigerant components.

Heat Pump Maintenance
Because heat pumps work through heating and cooling seasons, plan service twice yearly and follow the equipment’s care recommendations. See heating tune-ups and maintenance for preventive care; an active fault still needs a repair diagnosis.
