What we fix in Auburn
Dead unit, no response
Power, contactor, capacitor, board — checked in order. Most no-response heat pumps are one of the first three.
Steaming and you are worried
Nine times out of ten that is the defrost cycle working exactly as designed. We will tell you when it is not.
Heats but never gets there
A heat pump that runs all evening and stays two degrees short is usually low on charge or leaning on failed backup heat.
Repair or replace, honestly
On a Lea Hill unit past its fifteenth winter we quote both and give you a straight recommendation.

We know Auburn
Auburn splits three ways for heat pumps. Lea Hill’s 1990s subdivisions and Lakeland Hills’ late-90s and 2000s two-stories went in with heat pumps as standard, so those systems are all reaching the end of their first life together — and defrost-season calls spike there every cold snap. The older downtown and North Auburn ramblers mostly still heat another way, so what we do there is more often a ductless retrofit than a repair. The valley floor gets colder and damper than the hills, which is hard on outdoor coils.
What this usually costs
Most heat pump repairs land in the typical industry range of $150–$800 — a sensor or capacitor at the low end, a reversing valve or compressor at the high end. Your exact price comes upfront and you approve it before any work. See the full breakdown on our heat pump repair costs page.

Before you call (5 minutes, free)
- 1
Check the thermostat mode. It needs to be on HEAT with the setpoint above the room. AUTO on a mild day can look like a fault when nothing is wrong.
- 2
Look at the outdoor unit. Light frost is normal in winter. A unit fully encased in ice is not — switch it off and book it before the fan blades bend.
- 3
Replace the filter. A choked filter starves the indoor coil and makes a healthy heat pump behave like a broken one.
- 4
Check the breakers. Heat pumps often have two — one for the outdoor unit, one for the air handler and backup heat. Reset once, never twice.

- A burning smell from the indoor unit or the air handler.
- The breaker trips again right after a reset.
- Loud grinding or screeching from the outdoor unit — shut it off.
