What we fix in Puyallup
No heat, no obvious reason
We follow the startup sequence — power, contactor, compressor, reversing valve, defrost — and stop at the fault instead of guessing.
Iced solid on a cold morning
South Hill sits higher and colder than the valley, so defrost faults show up there first and hardest.
Weak output, high bill
A heat pump quietly running on backup heat costs a fortune and never feels warm. It is a fault, and it is findable.
Parts approved before fitting
Boards, sensors, capacitors, contactors, fan motors. You see the price first, every time.

We know Puyallup
Puyallup splits by elevation as much as by neighbourhood. South Hill and the Sunrise and Shaw Road subdivisions went up through the 1990s and 2000s with heat pumps as the default, and being higher and colder than the valley, they see harder defrost seasons — so that is where the iced-over calls come from. Down near downtown and North Puyallup the housing is older and the systems more mixed, with more retrofits and ductless installs than builder-fitted heat pumps.
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.
No change? Then it is a technician job, and the sooner it is booked the sooner the house is comfortable again. Book the visit →
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.
