Heat Pump Repair in Pendleton, Indiana

Electric heat pumps are common in Pendleton's newer commuter subdivisions, where Duke Energy Indiana serves the power. A heat pump works year round, so a fault shows up as either no heat in a single-digit January or no cooling in a humid July, and the failure modes are different from a straight furnace or AC.

We diagnose the issues specific to heat pumps: a stuck reversing valve that traps the system in one mode, a defrost control that lets the outdoor coil ice over, a failed auxiliary heat strip, low refrigerant, or a bad capacitor. You get a clear diagnosis before any repair.

Heat-Pump-Specific Symptoms

• Outdoor unit iced over and not defrosting in winter
• Blowing cool air when set to heat, or warm air when set to cool
• Auxiliary or emergency heat running constantly
• System stuck in one mode and not switching over

Why is my heat pump iced over in winter?

Some frost is normal, but a coil fully iced over points to a defrost control or sensor fault, low refrigerant, or a failed reversing valve. We diagnose the specific cause.

My heat pump blows cool air on heat mode. Why?

That often means a stuck reversing valve, low refrigerant, or a defrost cycle running too long. It is a heat-pump-specific issue we troubleshoot directly.

Why does my backup heat run all the time?

Constant auxiliary heat usually means the heat pump is not keeping up, often from low refrigerant or a control fault. Running on aux heat is expensive, so it is worth diagnosing.

Can you repair heat pumps in the newer Pendleton subdivisions?

Yes. Heat pumps are common in the newer SR 38 and SR 9 builds, and we service them along with the surrounding Madison County metro.

Is a struggling heat pump an emergency in winter?

If it leaves you without adequate heat during a single-digit cold snap, call right away. We prioritize no-heat situations.
