Plano Heat Pump Repair & Replacement | 24/7 Emergency HVAC — NATE-Certified

Signs You Need Heat Pump Repair

• Weak airflow or uneven temps

• Short cycling or constant running

• Ice on outdoor unit/defrost issues

• Breaker trips, error codes, burning smells

• Unusual noises (grinding, squealing, banging)

Insufficient heating or cooling

If rooms stay too hot or cold despite running the system, your heat pump needs attention. This often means low refrigerant, a failing compressor, or airflow problems.

Short cycling or constant running

Heat pumps that turn on and off frequently or run non-stop have problems. Issues include wrong thermostat settings, dirty filters, or failing capacitors.

Unusual noises or odors

Grinding, squealing, or banging sounds mean mechanical problems. Burning smells indicate electrical issues that need immediate attention.

Frozen outdoor unit/defrost issues

Ice on your outdoor unit signals defrost control board problems or refrigerant leaks. This reduces efficiency and can damage your compressor.

Higher energy bills

Sudden spikes in electric bills often mean your heat pump works harder than normal. Regular maintenance and timely repairs keep costs down.

Breaker trips, error codes, or thermostat alerts

Electrical problems cause breakers to trip. Modern thermostats show error codes when something fails. Don't ignore these warnings.

Uneven temperatures or weak airflow from vents/heads

Some rooms staying warmer or cooler indicates ductwork issues or system imbalance. Our technicians perform static pressure and duct leakage testing to find problems.

Heat Pump Repair in Plano: Diagnostics & Common Fixes

Diagnostic and troubleshooting process

We start every repair with complete diagnostics. Our technicians check refrigerant charge, test electrical components, and measure airflow to find the exact problem.

Common repairs: compressor, refrigerant leaks, capacitors, defrost boards, thermostats, air handler issues

We fix all heat pump problems. Common repairs include replacing contactors, capacitors, and fan motors. We repair refrigerant leaks, replace defrost control boards, and fix air handler issues. Heat pumps typically last 12-15 years in North Texas with proper maintenance.

Electrical Repairs (Contactors, Capacitors, Fan Motors, Control Boards)

Electrical problems need EPA-certified technicians. We safely repair or replace failed components while checking breaker sizing and adding surge protection.

Refrigerant Leak Repair & Recharge (R-410A, R-32, R-454B) + Filter Drier

Using advanced leak detection tools, we find and fix refrigerant leaks. We evacuate systems properly, replace filter driers to protect the compressor and meet manufacturer warranty requirements, and recharge with the correct refrigerant type.

Reversing Valve & TXV Service

Stuck reversing valves prevent mode changes. Failed thermostatic expansion valves (TXV) cause poor cooling. We repair or replace these critical components.

Condensate drain cleaning and pan/float switch fixes

Clogged condensate drains cause water damage. We clean drains, repair pumps, and replace float switches to prevent overflow.

24/7 Emergency Heat Pump Repair in Plano & North Dallas

What Qualifies as an Emergency and ETA Communication

No heat in winter, no cooling in summer, electrical burning smells, or water leaks are emergencies. We prioritize these calls and provide ETAs with updates if delays occur.

After-Hours Fees and Temporary Cooling/Heating Options

After-hours diagnostic fees apply for night and weekend emergencies. Diagnostic fees may be credited toward repairs if you proceed with service. We offer portable units for extended repairs when available to keep you comfortable.

Heat Pump Replacement & SEER2/HSPF2 Upgrades

When to replace vs. repair

Heat pumps over 10 years old often cost more to repair than replace. If repair costs exceed 50% of replacement value, upgrading makes sense. New SEER2/HSPF2 ratings save money long-term.

Manual J/S/D Sizing, Static Pressure & Duct Leakage Verification

Proper sizing matters. We perform Manual J load calculations to determine the exact size needed. Manual S and D calculations ensure proper duct sizing. We verify static pressure and duct leakage for optimal performance.

Variable-Speed Inverter Models & ECM Blowers

Variable-speed compressors adjust output for consistent temperatures and humidity control. ECM blower motors provide better airflow while using less energy. They run quieter and last longer than single-stage models.

Dual-Fuel (Heat Pump + Gas Furnace) Options

Dual-fuel systems automatically switch between heat pump and gas furnace for optimal efficiency. Perfect for Texas weather extremes.

SEER2/HSPF2/EER2 ratings explained

These ratings measure efficiency. Higher numbers mean lower electric bills. EER2 reflects performance at 95°F—important for Plano summer load and utility savings. We explain how each rating affects your specific situation in Plano's climate.

Replacement steps: removal, install, commissioning

We safely remove old equipment, install new systems to manufacturer specifications, and commission for optimal performance. We replace or flush line sets as required and install a new filter drier to protect the compressor and meet manufacturer warranty requirements.

Energy Rebates & Tax Credits

Oncor Incentives for High-Efficiency Heat Pumps

Oncor offers rebates for SEER2 16+ heat pumps ranging from $300-$3,000 depending on efficiency ratings. Higher efficiency ratings receive larger rebates. Visit Oncor's rebate program page to estimate your savings.

Federal Tax Credits (25C/IRA) and Paperwork Help

Federal tax credits cover up to 30% of costs for qualifying high-efficiency systems. We provide all documentation needed for tax filing and help with paperwork submission.

Permits & Code Compliance — City of Plano & Collin County
