What we fix in Renton
No heat from the heat pump
Charge, defrost, reversing valve or a failed contactor. We follow the sequence the machine follows and stop where it stops.
Converted from electric heat
Renton has a lot of these. When a conversion-era system fails, the house falls back on the expensive heat it was meant to replace.
Cooling side gone
A heat pump that heats but will not cool is usually the reversing valve or its solenoid coil — and the coil is the cheap outcome.

We know Renton
Renton has more electric-resistance heating in its older stock than almost anywhere else we work, which is exactly why heat pump conversions took hold here — through Fairwood, Benson Hill and Cascade especially. The upshot is a large population of retrofit heat pumps of varying vintage and varying install quality, and when one of them fails the house drops back onto the electric heat it was bought to replace. That is why a no-heat call in Renton is usually also a bill problem. Kennydale and Renton Hill run older; the Highlands is new enough that faults there are usually controls.
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.

- 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.

- Loud grinding or screeching from the outdoor unit — shut it off.

My heat pump replaced an electric furnace. Does that change the repair?
It changes the urgency. When the heat pump is down, the backup strips carry the house at full electric cost. Getting it fixed quickly is worth real money, not just comfort.
