Heat Pump Repair in Tampa

You rely on your heat pump to keep your home comfortable year-round, whether it’s providing warmth during those chilly evenings or cooling relief on hot Tampa days. When your heat pump starts showing signs of trouble, you need fast, dependable repairs to get it back in working order.

At Red Cap, we understand how important a properly working heat pump is to your home’s comfort. That’s why our certified technicians are ready to deliver prompt, hassle-free heat pump repair services. With our commitment to timely and efficient service, you can trust that we’ll have your heat pump running smoothly again in no time.

 

• Thermostat Repair: Signs of a broken thermostat include: Your heat pump is not turning on after you adjust the temperature, the room temperature isn't matching the set temperature, your heat pump is running non-stop, and/or your thermostat is totally unresponsive.
  
  
• Reversing Valve Repair: Signs of a broken reversing valve include: Your heat pump is stuck in either cooling mode or heating mode—regardless of how you set the thermostat.
  
  
• Blower Motor Replacement: Signs of a broken blower motor include: Your heat pump has longer-than-normal cooling or heating cycles, higher energy bills, and/or weak air exiting your vents.
  
  
• Capacitor Replacement: Signs of a worn-out capacitor include: You're not feeling any cold or hot air coming from the vents, you hear a humming noise coming from your heat pump (outdoor unit), and/or your heat pump is struggling to start.
  
  
• Compressor Replacement: Signs of a burned-out compressor include: Your heat pump isn't cooling or heating your home, you hear a ticking or rattling noise coming from your heat pump (outdoor unit), and/or you see moisture pooled inside your outdoor unit (which means refrigerant could be leaking from the compressor).

Note: Rarely can a tech repair your compressor in the field, so you'll most likely need to replace your compressor. Since a compressor is so expensive to replace, you may be better off getting a new heat pump altogether.

1. Check the thermostat: Make sure your thermostat is set to the correct setting (HEAT or COOL, depending on the season). Then, try adjusting the temperature by 5 degrees and see if your heat pump starts working again. If your thermostat is unresponsive, you can try replacing the batteries. If that doesn't work, contact a pro for help.
   
   
2. Check the air filter: If it's dirty, change it. A dirty air filter can overwork your system, leading to system failure and expensive repairs.
   
   
3. Check the circuit breaker: Heat pump still won't turn on? A power spike may have tripped the heat pump circuit breaker. Go to your electrical panel and check the breaker. If it's tripped, turn it to the OFF position, then the ON position. If the breaker trips again, contact us immediately as there is a problem elsewhere.

What are common signs my heat pump needs repair?

Common signs your heat pump needs repair include weak or uneven airflow, strange noises when the unit runs, higher-than-normal energy bills, the system running constantly or failing to cool properly, and unexpected changes in indoor humidity levels.
 

How long does a typical heat pump repair take?

A typical heat pump repair takes about 3 hours on average to complete, though most repairs are finished the same day once the technician diagnoses the issue.
 

Should I repair or replace my heat pump?

Repair your heat pump if it's still under warranty or the repair cost is low, but consider replacement if the unit is over 8-10 years old, needs frequent repairs, is no longer under warranty, or has become inefficient with rising energy bills.
