Heat Pump Repair in Commerce City, CO
Both modes, ductless mini-splits too. Locally owned in Commerce City since 2014 — upfront pricing, no surprises, and priority for no-heat calls when it’s cold.
Why It Matters Who You Call
A Heat Pump Isn’t Just a Furnace or an AC
A heat pump does two jobs with one system — heating and cooling — by running a refrigeration cycle in both directions. That makes it more complex than a furnace or a straight AC, with a reversing valve, defrost controls, and electric backup heat those systems simply don’t have.
That complexity is exactly why so many heat pump repairs take two or three visits elsewhere: a technician who’s great with furnaces ends up guessing, swapping parts by trial and error on your dime.
We work on heat pumps and ductless mini-splits constantly, so you get a real diagnosis on the first visit, an upfront price, and a fix that lasts — no guessing, no comeback trips. Locally owned in Commerce City since 2014, we’ve built our name on heat pump work most local companies avoid.

Heat Pump Problems We Fix Every Week
A heat pump heats and cools with the same equipment, so a fault can show up in either season. Here’s what we see most — and fix fast.
Straight Answer
What Heat Pump Repair Costs
Real Denver-metro ranges by the part that’s failing — you get an exact, upfront price after we diagnose it, and you approve before we start.

Your exact price depends on the part, your system, and refrigerant type — older R-22 systems cost more to recharge. If the repair approaches the cost of a new unit, we’ll tell you and lay out replacement options → instead of just taking the repair.
Upfront pricing — you approve before we fix. We diagnose the real problem, quote a firm price in plain English, and get your OK before any work starts. No mystery charges, no fees that appear on the invoice later.
Don’t let anyone just “top off” your refrigerant. If a heat pump is low, it’s leaking — adding more without finding the leak just buys a few weeks before you’re paying again. We locate and repair the leak so the fix actually lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Heat Pump Repair Questions, Answered Honestly
Straight answers to what Commerce City homeowners ask us most about heat pump problems.
How much does heat pump repair cost in Commerce City?
It depends on the part. Electrical fixes like a capacitor or contactor typically run $90 to $350 and are often same-day; a refrigerant leak repair and recharge runs $200 to $1,500; a reversing valve is roughly $400 to $1,200; a defrost control board is $200 to $500; and a fan motor is $200 to $700. A compressor is the big one at $1,000 to $2,800, where we’ll help you weigh repair against replacement. You’ll get an upfront price and approve it before we fix anything.
Why is my heat pump frozen or iced over?
A little frost in winter is normal — your heat pump runs a defrost cycle that briefly switches to cooling mode to melt ice off the outdoor coil. It becomes a problem when the unit stays encased in ice. That usually means the defrost cycle isn’t working (a bad defrost control board, sensor, or reversing valve), low refrigerant, or blocked airflow from snow or debris. A fully frozen unit can’t heat and can damage the compressor, so it’s worth a quick call.
Why is my heat pump blowing cold air in heating mode?
If it’s only for a few minutes, that’s the normal defrost cycle. If it blows cold continuously while set to heat, the common causes are a stuck reversing valve (the part that switches between heating and cooling), low refrigerant, or a compressor issue. These need a technician to diagnose properly — we’ll pinpoint which one it is rather than guessing or topping off refrigerant that leaks right back out.
My heat pump isn’t heating in the cold — what’s wrong?
Several things can cause it: a failed defrost cycle leaving the unit frozen, low refrigerant, a stuck reversing valve, or a compressor problem. You may also notice your backup (auxiliary or emergency) heat running constantly to compensate — which spikes your electric bill. No heat in a Colorado winter is a safety and comfort issue, so we prioritize these calls and get your system heating again fast.
Should I repair or replace my heat pump?
A good rule of thumb is the 50% rule: if the repair costs more than half the price of a new system, replacement is usually smarter — especially on a unit over 10 to 15 years old or one using discontinued R-22 refrigerant. For a newer heat pump with a capacitor, sensor, or reversing-valve issue, repair almost always wins. We’ll show you the honest math and never push a replacement you don’t need.

Do you repair ductless mini-splits?
Yes. A ductless mini-split is a type of heat pump, and we service and repair them — indoor head units and outdoor condensers alike. Mini-splits take specialized know-how that not every company has, so if yours isn’t heating, cooling, leaking, or throwing an error code, we can help. It’s one of the systems we’re known for.
Do you offer emergency or same-day heat pump repair?
Whenever we can, yes — a heat pump down in the cold is an emergency, and we prioritize no-heat calls. Reach us by phone or text and we’ll get to you as fast as possible. Call (720) 925-2051 and we’ll let you know the soonest we can be there.
Can any HVAC company repair a heat pump?
In theory, but heat pumps are more complex than a furnace or a straight AC — they run a refrigeration cycle in both directions with a reversing valve, defrost controls, and backup heat, and they need an EPA-certified tech for refrigerant work. A lot of technicians who are great with furnaces end up guessing on heat pumps. We work on them all the time, including ductless mini-splits, so you get a real diagnosis the first visit instead of trial and error.
