Why is my system not heating in Des Moines? Common causes include a faulty reversing valve, low refrigerant, a defrost control problem, or a failing compressor. We diagnose the exact cause before quoting any repair.
Why is my system icing over in winter? Some frost is normal, but heavy ice usually points to a defrost cycle fault or low refrigerant. Our technicians find and fix the underlying cause.
Does it work in cold Iowa winters? Yes, though efficiency drops as temperatures fall toward freezing. A properly running system, often paired with backup heat, keeps your home comfortable through our winters.
Do you repair all heat pump brands? Our licensed, certified technicians repair the major heat pump brands installed across the greater Des Moines area.

• Short-cycling or unusual noises
• Rising energy bills
Catching these issues early keeps a small repair from becoming a major one. Call (515) 212-6042 to request your free heat pump repair estimate at the first sign of trouble.

Common Problems We Repair

Because these systems work in every season, Iowa’s climate stresses it from both directions. Here are three problems our technicians repair most often across the Des Moines metro.

The reversing valve switches your system between heating and cooling, so when it fails the system can get stuck in the wrong mode. We diagnose the valve and restore proper season-to-season switching. Restoring proper season-to-season switching means your home heats reliably in January and cools dependably in July.

A faulty defrost cycle lets ice build on the outdoor unit during an Iowa winter, choking performance. Our technicians repair the defrost control and clear the underlying cause so the system runs efficiently. Clearing ice early also prevents the strain that repeated heavy frost places on the outdoor unit through a long Des Moines winter. Left unchecked, repeated heavy icing strains the unit and shortens its working life.

Low refrigerant or a struggling compressor leaves the system running constantly while never quite reaching temperature. We find leaks, recharge correctly, and address compressor faults with dependable parts. Because the system runs in every season, a small refrigerant loss you ignore in summer can leave you short on heat when the first Iowa freeze arrives.
