Every homeowner relies on their heat pump to keep their home comfortable during extreme weather. So when something isn't right, it is pretty obvious. The heat pump might keep running without reaching the set temperature, the airflow might feel weak, or the air coming from the vents simply doesn't feel right. Instead of waiting for the problem to worsen, you need to rely on Ace’s heat pump repair Sacramento service.

In addition, we believe you deserve an honest answer before you spend money on any type of repair. That is also why we send a technician, not a salesperson, so you always get someone focused on diagnosing your heat pump and recommending the exact solution it actually needs.
Heat Pump Trouble Signs
Like any other HVAC system, heat pumps are subject to wear and tear, and they can lose efficiency as they age, even with proper heat pump maintenance. These trouble signs will alert you when it’s time to call for heat pump repairs in Sacramento.
Wrong Air Temperature
One of the most common complaints we hear is that customers’ heat pumps are blowing warm air in the summer or cool air in the winter. Because heat pumps both heat and cool, this is more common than you might think and often has an easy fix, like checking to make sure your thermostat settings are appropriate for the season. If that doesn’t solve the problem, call us at (916) 455-4548, and we’ll take it from there.
Heat Pump Won’t Turn On
This is a problem that can have multiple causes. Check your thermostat first to make sure it’s set properly. If it is and the heat pump won’t turn on, check your emergency shutoff and the breaker box (the heat pump is normally on its own breaker). We also suggest checking for drafts near the thermostat. If the thermostat itself is causing problems, we provide smart thermostat installations that can help boost your home’s energy efficiency.
Your Heat Pump Doesn’t Sound Right
Once you’ve had your heat pump for a while, you’ll get used to the sounds it makes as it powers up, cycles, and powers back down. Changes in those normal sounds, especially grinding, thumping, squeaking, or squealing, can be signs of trouble. Call us right away if you hear them.
Strange Smells in the Air
Your heat pump may sound fine but still produce an unpleasant smell. The sources can vary, including mold, mildew, bacteria, or the occasional critter that crawls into the system and dies there. Since these smells may also indicate problems that affect your indoor air quality, it’s a good idea to get in touch with us quickly. And if you ever notice a burning smell, call us immediately!
Reduced Airflow
Start by checking your filter and replacing it if necessary. We’ve seen clogged filters significantly reduce airflow. We’ve also seen well-intentioned homeowners install heavier-duty filters than their systems were designed for, which can strain components and reduce airflow. So, it’s important to make sure you’re using the correct filter for your system.
Other Heat Pump Problems
These aren’t all the heat pump problems you might face. From uneven heating and cooling and ice on the indoor or outdoor coils to problems caused by an unqualified installer, there’s plenty that can go wrong. Ace Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning is here to help when it does.
How Long Will a Heat Pump Last?
Heat pumps last from 10 to 12 years on average, compared to 12 to 15 years for an air conditioner and 15 to 20 years for a furnace. Why the shorter lifespan? Don’t forget, a heat pump pulls double duty, keeping your home comfortable year-round.
There will be short periods when it isn’t in use because the temperature has hit a particular sweet spot, but for the most part, it’s in near-constant use. That’s why, even more than with conventional HVAC systems, it’s important to get a heat pump tune-up on a regular basis so everything works as it should.
Should I Repair or Replace My Heat Pump?
At some point, every homeowner has to decide whether to continue repairing their heat pump or opt for a new heat pump installation. If your unit is ten years old or older, a newer heat pump may heat and cool your home more efficiently.
- Speaking of money, rising utility bills are often a warning that your heat pump is losing efficiency and should be replaced.
- Other changes, such as adding more living space to your home, may mean you need a heat pump that can handle the larger area.
- And of course, if you find repairs coming more frequently and at a higher cost, it can be time to cut your losses and replace your older system.
If you aren’t sure, we’ll evaluate your existing system and help you come to an informed decision.
We provide heat pump installations for a variety of systems across nearly every brand. We diagnose the issue, advise you on the best course of action, provide an estimate, and let you decide what best fits your needs and budget. If you accept, we’ll get right to work so your home can get back to feeling as comfortable as usual.
