Recognizing a Heat Pump Emergency: Signs You Need Urgent Repair

It can be difficult to know if your heat pump issue is a minor annoyance or a full-blown emergency. Waiting too long to address a serious problem can lead to more extensive and costly damage, or even a complete system failure. If you observe any of the following symptoms, it is crucial to seek professional emergency service immediately.

  • Complete System Shutdown: The most obvious sign of an emergency is when your heat pump refuses to turn on at all, leaving you without any heating or cooling.
  • Loud, Alarming Noises: While normal operation produces a low hum, sudden grinding, banging, squealing, or clanking sounds indicate severe mechanical problems that could destroy internal components if left unchecked.
  • Frozen Coils or Refrigerant Lines: Ice buildup on any part of your indoor or outdoor unit is a serious issue. It signals a problem with airflow or refrigerant levels that can quickly lead to compressor failure.
  • Constant or Rapid Cycling: If your heat pump turns on and off every few minutes without properly conditioning your home, it's a sign of a significant underlying problem, such as an electrical fault or a refrigerant leak.
  • Strange Odors: A strong burning smell may indicate an electrical issue or an overheating motor, posing a potential fire hazard. A musty smell could point to mold growth within the system, affecting your indoor air quality.
  • Stuck in One Mode: If your heat pump is locked into either heating or cooling mode and won't switch over, the reversing valve may have failed, requiring immediate professional repair.
  • Tripped Circuit Breaker: If the breaker for your heat pump repeatedly trips, it signifies an electrical overload or a short circuit within the unit that needs to be diagnosed by a qualified technician.

Customer Reviews

We recently moved to Florida and needed major repairs to our church. After researching several companies, I went with Sunstate and I’m so thankful I did. Joe came out and provided us with the information necessary to make an informed decision and provided a reasonable estimate. We had a new unit installed, duct work repaired, and new thermostat installed. If you’re reading this review and wondering who to trust for your AC needs, please call Sunstate.

Great job replacing both the condensing unit and air-handler.  Moved the air-handler from the attic to the garage and re-designed and installed new duct work to accommodate the move.  Works great and no more worries about overflowing drain pan damaging the ceiling and wood floors.  Not to mention making it easier to maintain the AH unit.  The guys worked through the night to make sure the AC was back on before they left the job.   Thanks for a job well done.

Sunstate mechanical is truly the best contractors I have experienced since I moved into my house 30 years ago.  I have been dealing with Joe and his crew for over 11 years now. They are a trustworthy, respectful, experienced crew who works with you and gives you a fair value.  They just completed a big job replacing my A/C, gas furnance and condenser.  They did an excellent job, no short cuts, made sure everything was functional, and cleaned up the area nicely before they left.

Sunstate Mechanical are absolutely one of the best.  I have had two new units installed from them, and the work they did was spectacular.  The crew was prompt (even called ahead to confirm the appointment), incredibly professional, and they left the area around the air handler somehow cleaner than when they arrived.  I have had no issues with my units over the years because Sunstate Mechanical took the time to do it right the first time.
