Get Your Heat Pump Fixed by Local Technicians
Heat pumps are known for their efficiency and reliability, but like any system, they can develop issues with time and use. Whether your heat pump isn’t heating or cooling properly, making unusual noises, or simply won’t turn on, our expert technicians at Degree are ready to help you. Our team of local HVAC professionals across Connecticut provide prompt, professional service to restore your home’s comfort as quickly as possible.
When Should I Call an HVAC Technician for Heat Pump Repair?
Here are some common signs that your heat pump needs trained technician’s attention:
- Inconsistent Heating or Cooling – If your heat pump isn’t keeping up with your home’s temperature needs, there may be a mechanical or airflow issue.
- No Operation – If your system won’t turn on at all, it could be due to a power issue, a thermostat malfunction, or a more serious mechanical problem.
- Unusual Noises – Grinding, rattling, or screeching sounds can indicate worn-out components that need immediate attention.
- Strange Odors – A musty smell could mean mold inside your unit, while a burning smell may signal an electrical issue.
- Frequent Cycling – If your heat pump turns on and off too often, there could be a problem with airflow, the thermostat, or the system’s refrigerant levels.
- Refrigerant Leaks – Hissing sounds, ice buildup, or a drop in performance may mean a refrigerant issue that needs professional repair.
- Ice on the Outdoor Unit – Excessive ice accumulation on your heat pump could indicate a defrost system failure.

What Can You Expect When We Service Your Heat Pump?
Our experienced HVAC technicians begin every visit by asking about your heat pump’s performance. We’ll want to know when you first noticed the issue, any troubleshooting you’ve attempted, and any changes in heating or cooling patterns.
Next, we conduct a thorough inspection using both visual assessment and advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the problem. Once we identify the issue, we’ll explain what’s wrong, how long the repair will take, and the estimated cost. Most repairs are completed within 1 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the problem and how to fix it.
What Causes Heat Pump to Stop Working?
Some of the most common heat pump issues include:
- Dirty Air Filters – A clogged air filter can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency.
- Power Issues – A blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker can prevent your system from turning on.
- Refrigerant Leaks – Low refrigerant levels can affect performance and efficiency, requiring leak detection and recharge.
- Electrical Problems – Faulty wiring or worn-out components can lead to system failures.
- Frozen Coils – Ice buildup on coils may indicate airflow problems or a malfunctioning defrost cycle.
- Worn-Out Parts – Motors, fans, and belts can wear out over time, requiring replacement.
Our team arrives with a full stock of replacement parts to ensure most repairs can be completed on the spot. If a refrigerant leak is detected, we will locate the source, repair it, and recharge your system for optimal performance.
Should I Repair or Replace My Heat Pump?
If your heat pump is under 10 years old, repairing it is usually the best option. However, if your system is older than 10-15 years, you may want to consider an upgrade. Newer heat pumps are more energy-efficient and can lower your monthly energy costs while improving comfort. Our team can provide expert guidance and a free estimate if replacement is the better choice for your home.
