When your heat pump falters, it can disrupt your home’s comfort and lead to higher energy bills. At Grove Heating & Cooling, our expert team provides reliable heat pump repair services in Maryland, ensuring that your system operates efficiently year-round.
Heat pumps are complex systems that perform both heating and cooling tasks. While they are known for their efficiency, they are not immune to problems. Common issues with heat pumps you may experience that indicate a malfunctioning heat pump include:
Our team at Grove Heating & Cooling is adept at diagnosing and addressing these and other heat pump repair issues. We use advanced tools and techniques to ensure your system is restored to optimal performance.
Heat pumps are sophisticated systems with various components that need a specialist’s knowledge when it comes to fixing issues. At Grove Heating & Cooling, our heat pump experts are equipped to handle a wide range of heat pump repairs, ensuring your system functions optimally and at peak efficiency. Here’s an overview of common repairs and how our experts address them:
Refrigerant is essential for heat pump operation, and leaks can reduce energy efficiency and damage components. Symptoms include poor heating or cooling and ice buildup on the coils.
We start by locating the source of the refrigerant leak using specialized tools. After repairing the leak, we recharge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant and test for proper operation. We also check for any damage caused by low refrigerant levels and address those issues.
The compressor is the heart of the heat pump, and issues can lead to significant performance problems. Symptoms include loud noises, reduced heating or cooling, and complete system shutdowns.
Our technicians perform a thorough inspection to diagnose compressor issues, which may involve checking electrical connections, evaluating system pressures, and testing the compressor itself. Depending on the problem, we may repair or replace the compressor to restore optimal function.
A malfunctioning thermostat can lead to inaccurate temperature readings and erratic system behavior. Symptoms include inconsistent temperatures and unresponsive controls when trying to adjust the temperature settings.
We test and calibrate the thermostat to ensure it accurately reflects the temperature. If repairs are not sufficient, we can recommend and install a new, high-quality thermostat that suits your needs, ensuring better control and efficiency.
The blower motor inside the air handler is responsible for circulating air through the system. Problems can result in poor airflow, unusual noises, and system malfunctions, making indoor air handler repair necessary.
We inspect the blower motor for wear and tear, clean any debris, and lubricate moving parts. If the motor is damaged beyond repair, we replace it with a new, energy-efficient model to restore proper airflow and system efficiency.
During winter, heat pumps must periodically defrost the outdoor coils. A failure in this cycle can lead to excessive frost buildup and reduced efficiency. We diagnose issues with the defrost cycle, which may involve checking the defrost timer, sensors, and control board. We repair or replace faulty components to ensure the defrost cycle operates correctly, preventing frost buildup and maintaining system efficiency.
Electrical issues can disrupt heat pump operation and pose safety risks. Common problems include tripped breakers, damaged wires, and malfunctioning capacitors. Our technicians carefully inspect and test all electrical components, including wiring, capacitors, and circuit boards. We make necessary repairs or replacements, ensuring safe and reliable electrical connections throughout the system.
Heat pumps generate condensation that must be properly drained. Problems with the drainage system can lead to water damage and mold growth. We inspect the condensate drain and pump for clogs or malfunctions. We clear blockages and repair or replace damaged components to ensure proper drainage and prevent water damage.

Our skilled technicians use advanced diagnostic tools and high-quality parts to address any issue your heat pump may face.

Home emergencies are stressful, and when you don’t know what to do, you may call a technician prematurely. However, if you experience either of the situations below, call the certified HVAC technicians at Grove Heating & Cooling immediately:
For any of these emergency situations, contact Grove Heating & Cooling immediately. Our team is ready to provide fast, reliable repairs around the clock to restore your comfort and ensure your heat pump is running efficiently.
Check your thermostat settings to ensure that they are set to your heating or cooling preferences. Make sure that the selection is on cool if looking for air conditioning and heating mode if you’re trying to warm up your home.
If you haven’t changed your air filter recently, there could be debris and dirt keeping your heat pump from working to its full potential. Replacing a dirty, clogged filter with a clean one could save you a more serious HVAC repair.
In Maryland, the power is usually connected to a circuit breaker or a regular wall switch near the unit. The wall switch is easy to mistake for a light switch because codes typically require them to be placed near a garage or closet. If your heat pump runs off of a circuit breaker and continues to trip, call us as you likely have a serious issue that will require a repair service call.
If you see ice, turn off your heat pump and check the filters and supply vents for any obstructions that will need to be repaired. If you find no issues, leave the unit off and contact us for professional help. There could be low airflow across the evaporator or a refrigerant leak that will require repairs.
If you want to limit your chances of experiencing a heat pump repair at any point throughout the year, the best way to do so is to properly maintain your system.
