Heat Pump Services

What heat pump services do we offer?

Your Comfort Heating & Air installs, repairs, replaces and maintains heat pumps, the all-in-one systems that heat in winter and cool in summer, for homes across Northern Utah. Lukewarm air, an outdoor unit that stays caked in ice, or power bills that keep rising are common signs of trouble. Schedule a diagnostic visit and we will find the cause.

Heat Pump Installation

Dropping a new unit on an uneven pad and hoping it works is a quick way to burn out a compressor prematurely.

Homeowners usually look into a new system to escape an aging, inefficient unit or to gain the year-round efficiency of a dual-heating-and-cooling setup. A proper installation is not just about moving boxes; it requires a strict load calculation to ensure the tonnage matches your home's exact footprint and insulation levels. If a system is oversized, it will short-cycle, fail to dehumidify the air, and leave you feeling clammy and uncomfortable year-round.

Mechanically, a new setup requires absolute precision from the moment we unbox the equipment. We level the outdoor pad, run new copper line sets if the old ones are contaminated, and pull a deep vacuum measured in microns before charging the system. Because a heat pump pushes a higher volume of air than a traditional furnace, we also verify that your existing ductwork can handle the airflow without creating massive static pressure.

What We Do During Installation

• Level the outdoor pad and secure the condenser unit to prevent vibration
• Run properly sized copper line sets to ensure optimal refrigerant flow
• Pull a deep vacuum to remove moisture before releasing the charge
• Verify your ductwork can handle the higher airflow volume
• Configure the thermostat wiring for flawless defrost communication

We are a proud Goodman and Amana dealer, meaning we install high-quality, high-efficiency equipment that is built to last. If your old system is completely dead, moving forward with a full Heat Pump Heat Pump Replacement is often more economical than stringing it along with expensive band-aids. We never cut corners on the electrical upgrades, ensuring your system communicates flawlessly from day one.

Heat Pump Repair

When your system is stuck in one mode or covered in a thick block of ice, you need a technician who knows exactly where to look.

Nine times out of ten, obvious symptoms point to specific mechanical failures inside the cabinet. Heat pumps do two jobs, which means they have more components that can fail under the stress of extreme temperature swings. We check the reversing valve solenoid immediately to see if it is physically shifting the flow of refrigerant properly between heating and cooling modes.

When we open up the service panel, we are looking for the root cause, not just a quick symptom fix. We test the defrost control board and sensors to find out exactly why the outdoor unit is freezing over instead of shedding its ice. We also test the dual run capacitors, contactors, and compressor amp draws to ensure the electrical side of the system is completely stable.

Common signs you need a repair:

• System blows cold air when set to heat (or vice versa)
• Auxiliary heat strips run constantly, spiking your electric bill
• Outdoor coil develops a heavy, solid layer of ice
• Grinding, squealing, or hard-starting noises from the compressor
• Short-cycling every three to five minutes without altering the temperature

Finding a low refrigerant charge means finding the leak, because we never just gas it up and walk away. Catching a failing fifty-dollar part early during routine Heat Pump Heat Pump Maintenance can save you from a catastrophic breakdown later. We bring the right diagnostic tools to every call so we can get your system back online quickly and safely.

If you have a bad sensor or a stuck valve, our Heat Pump Heat Pump Repair team handles every call across Northern Utah.

Heat Pump Replacement

There comes a point where sinking another thousand dollars into a dying system is just throwing good money after bad.

We see the warning signs every day: a unit that is over a decade old, requires obsolete R-22 refrigerant, or has needed three different repairs in the last two years. When the compressor valves start failing or the outdoor coil fins are so degraded they crumble to the touch, your system is running on borrowed time. You are actively wasting electricity trying to force a failing machine to heat and cool your home.

Replacing a heat pump involves a lot more than just swapping out the outdoor unit. We safely recover the old, hazardous refrigerant, strip out the decaying condenser, and remove the compromised indoor air handler. We then adapt your existing plenum to fit a modern, high-efficiency system, ensuring the transition is airtight and mechanically sound.

What our replacement process includes:

• Safely recovering all old refrigerant following EPA guidelines
• Stripping out the decaying condenser and indoor air handler
• Adapting your existing plenum to fit the modern equipment footprint
• Recalibrating the airflow for the new variable-speed blower motor
• Testing the defrost cycle and auxiliary heat staging before we leave

If a routine Heat Pump Repair reveals a cracked coil or a blown compressor, we will have a blunt conversation about your options. We provide straight-up pricing and excellent financing options so you can put that money toward a new system backed by a solid warranty.

Heat Pump Maintenance

Because these systems run year-round, they take double the wear and tear of a standard air conditioner or furnace.

When maintenance is neglected, the symptoms creep up slowly in the form of dropping airflow, musty smells, and climbing utility bills. The mechanical reality is that a dirty evaporator coil acts like a heavy blanket, trapping heat and forcing the compressor to work overtime. Loose electrical connections increase the amp draw, which creates excessive heat and physically melts wires inside the cabinet.

During a maintenance visit, we do a deep dive into the mechanical and electrical health of your system. We wash the outdoor condenser coils to restore proper heat transfer and clear the condensate drain lines to prevent water from backing up into your home. We also hook up digital gauges to measure the refrigerant superheat and subcooling, ensuring the charge is perfectly balanced.

What we check during a maintenance visit:

• Wash the outdoor condenser coils to restore maximum heat transfer
• Clear condensate drain lines to prevent costly water backups
• Test the defrost cycle triggers and outdoor ambient sensors
• Measure refrigerant superheat and subcooling with digital manifolds
• Tighten all high-voltage connections to prevent electrical shorts

Regular upkeep is the absolute cheapest insurance policy you can buy for your HVAC system. A proper tune-up ensures you get the full lifespan out of your initial Heat Pump Installation investment. It is exactly why so many of our customers sign up for our yearly VIP Maintenance Plan to keep their equipment running flawlessly.

Related Climate Control Services

Because heat pumps are part of a larger climate control ecosystem, issues can sometimes overlap with other equipment in your home. If your heat pump is struggling to keep up during extreme temperature drops, you might need to look into traditional Heating Repair to ensure your backup furnace is firing correctly in a dual-fuel setup.

If you are dealing with hot or cold spots in specific rooms that your central ductwork cannot reach, we frequently design and install ductless solutions like Mini Split Installation. We also offer extensive Air Purifiers to scrub the air circulating through your newly repaired air handler, keeping your indoor air quality pristine.
