We service both air-source and ductless heat pump systems.
A heat pump stuck in one mode, or one that's iced over and won't defrost, gets diagnosed with the right tools for that specific failure mode.
If you're dealing with a system stuck blowing cold air in heating mode, an outdoor unit that's iced over and won't run its defrost cycle, or a system that switches modes but never actually reaches set temperature, you already know a heat pump that seems to be 'not heating' is often actually a reversing valve or defrost cycle problem, which a technician trained mainly on standard AC systems can easily misdiagnose.

Most heat pump repair problems give some warning before they turn into a system stuck blowing cold air in heating mode, an outdoor unit that's iced over and won't run its defrost cycle, or a system that switches modes but never actually reaches set temperature — catching it early usually means a shorter, cheaper fix.

System would only blow cold air no matter what mode I selected.
Outdoor unit was constantly covered in ice and I thought that meant it was broken.
They tested the relay separately from the strips themselves and found the actual fault fast.
Ductless heat pump in the addition threw a code I couldn't find anywhere online.

Often a stuck reversing valve, which controls whether the system is in heating or cooling mode.
Some frost during a normal defrost cycle is expected; ice that never clears points to a defrost board or thermostat fault.
Heat pumps have a reversing valve, defrost cycle, and often auxiliary heat strips that standard AC systems don't have.
If auxiliary heat isn't kicking in properly, that's a specific fault we can test for.
Yes — indoor head units and outdoor condensers on ductless heat pump systems are within our service scope.
