Expert Heat Pump Repair in Tampa Bay
Is your system blowing cold air in heat mode? Is the outdoor unit frozen over?
In Florida, the heat pump is the heart of your home. Unlike a furnace, it works year-round, reversing its cycle to provide air conditioning in the summer and efficient heating in the winter. Because it never gets a break, heat pumps require specialized care.
Velocity Air Conditioning serves Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties with expert diagnostics and repair for all major heat pump brands. Whether you have a bad reversing valve or a refrigerant leak, we can get your comfort back on track.
4 Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repair
Heat pumps have unique symptoms that are different from standard air conditioners. If you notice any of these issues, call us immediately at 727-337-7716.
Blowing Cold Air in Winter
If your thermostat is set to "Heat" but the vents are blowing cold air, your reversing valve may be stuck, or the compressor isn't engaging.
Outdoor Unit Iced Up
A little frost is normal, but if your outdoor unit looks like an igloo, the defrost board or sensors may have failed. This can crush your coil if not fixed.
"Aux Heat" Won't Turn Off
If your thermostat constantly says "Aux Heat" or "Em Heat," your system is running on expensive electric heat strips instead of the efficient pump. This will skyrocket your electric bill.
Strange "Whooshing" Noises
Heat pumps make a specific sound when entering defrost mode, but loud grinding or banging indicates a motor or compressor failure.
Don't Ignore the Warning Signs
Most heat pump failures start as minor issues. Catching a bad capacitor or a small refrigerant leak now can save you from replacing the entire compressor later. We offer 7-day service to get you up and running fast.
