Heating Repair in Orange County, CA

No heat? Start here

• The system runs but only blows room-temperature air
• Nothing happens at all when heat is called for
• The heat pump runs constantly and never reaches the setpoint
• Ice built up on the outdoor unit during a cold morning
• A burning smell that doesn't clear after the first few minutes
• Rooms heat unevenly, or one room never gets warm

Heat pump repair

Heat pumps do double duty here, so a heating fault and a cooling fault often share a root cause. The ones we find most are a stuck reversing valve, a defrost control that won't clear frost off the outdoor coil, low refrigerant charge, or auxiliary heat strips that engage constantly and drive the electric bill up. Because a heat pump runs year-round, catching these early matters more than it does on a furnace.

Wall, floor and older heaters

Plenty of older Orange County homes and apartments still heat with wall or floor units. These deserve careful attention: pilot and thermocouple faults, blocked or corroded vents, and cracked or rusted heat exchangers are all things we check rather than assume. If a unit is unsafe to operate, we tell you and shut it down — we won't patch around a combustion problem.

Thermostats and controls

A surprising share of no-heat calls end at the thermostat: dead batteries, a wire pulled loose during a remodel, or a smart thermostat missing the common wire a heat pump needs to run auxiliary heat correctly. It's the first thing we check, and when that's the whole problem, that's the whole bill.
