What we fix in Burien
Ductless head gone quiet
Most Burien heat pumps are ductless, because most Burien houses never had ducts. A dead head is usually a board, a sensor or the outdoor unit.
Not heating the whole house
With ductless, coverage is a design question as much as a repair one. We will tell you which of the two you actually have.
Outdoor unit iced or noisy
Defrost faults and failing fan motors present the same way from indoors. They are not the same repair.
Old-house realities
Mid-century Burien homes have tight spaces and older electrical. We work around it rather than pretending it is not there.

We know Burien
Burien is largely 1940s to 60s housing — Seahurst, Gregory Heights, Lake Burien, Boulevard Park, Three Tree Point — and most of it was never built with ductwork. That makes ductless heat pumps the practical way to heat and cool here, and it is why the majority of what we service in Burien is a wall head and an outdoor unit rather than a ducted system. The faults follow: indoor boards, condensate issues and outdoor defrost problems rather than blower and duct trouble.
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.

Stop and book a pro if…
- The outdoor unit is encased in ice and not clearing it.
- 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.

Yes, and it is usually the best one. Ductless heat pumps were made for exactly this housing stock — no ducts required, and they heat and cool from the same equipment.
