Before you call
Is this an emergency?
Some failures genuinely cannot wait. Others are safe to book for a regular visit, often at a lower cost. Here is how we triage it.
Call now if
- No heat in freezing weather and no working backup or emergency-heat setting
- The outdoor unit is fully encased in ice and has stopped heating or cooling
- It is genuinely hot or cold and someone in the home is vulnerable
- Burning or hot electrical smell, loud grinding, or the unit tripped the breaker
This can wait for a regular visit
- Your backup or emergency heat is keeping the home safe and comfortable
- A light frost on the outdoor coil that clears on its own (normal winter defrost)
- The system still heats or cools, just weaker than usual
- You want a tune-up or are planning an upgrade, not a breakdown
When in doubt, call (253) 453-0478. We would rather talk it through than leave you guessing.
While you wait for us
What to do right now
- 1
Switch to backup or emergency heat if you have it
Many heat-pump thermostats have an emergency-heat or auxiliary-heat setting. If yours does and the home is getting cold, switch to it to stay safe and comfortable while you wait for us.
- 2
Do not keep running an iced-over unit
A little frost that clears is normal winter defrost. A unit fully encased in ice is not. If it is solidly iced and no longer working, shut it off at the thermostat, let it thaw, and call us.
- 3
Check the thermostat and breaker
Confirm the thermostat mode and batteries, then check the breaker for the indoor and outdoor units. A tripped breaker that keeps tripping points to a fault, so leave it off and call rather than forcing it back on.
The process
What to expect when we arrive
- 01
Prioritized, knowledgeable response
We prioritize no-heat and no-cool calls, and we diagnose inverter and heat-pump systems correctly instead of swapping parts and hoping.
- 02
Find the real fault
We test the defrost control, reversing valve, capacitor, sensors, and refrigerant charge to pinpoint why the system stopped, not just the symptom.
- 03
A clear quote first
You get the price before any work starts. If a repair is the honest answer, that is what we recommend, on any system we service.
- 04
Repair and verify both modes
We make the repair and confirm the system heats and cools correctly, checking the charge by the numbers before we leave.
Questions
Common questions about emergency heat pump repair
Is ice on my heat pump in winter an emergency?
A thin frost that clears during the defrost cycle is normal. A unit fully and persistently encased in ice is not. If it is solidly iced and no longer heating, turn it off, let it thaw, and call us so we can find why.
I have no heat. Should I use emergency heat?
Yes, if your thermostat has an emergency-heat or auxiliary setting and the home is getting cold, use it to stay safe while you wait. It runs the backup heat source so you are not left in the cold.
Can you diagnose a Mitsubishi or ductless mini-split after hours?
Yes. We carry the knowledge to diagnose inverter and heat-pump faults on Mitsubishi ductless and other systems correctly, rather than guessing at parts.
Do you charge more for after-hours heat pump repair?
You always get a clear quote before any work begins, with no surprise charges. We do not add an after-hours or emergency upcharge: our rate is the same whether you call at 2pm or 2am.
