Heat Pump Problems We See in Front Range Winters
Lukewarm air in heating mode
The system runs, but the air feels barely warm on cold days.
Backup heat always on
The thermostat shows auxiliary or emergency heat for long stretches, and the electric bill jumps.
Ice that won't clear
The outdoor coil stays iced over instead of clearing in defrost.
Dual-fuel switching trouble
The furnace never takes over in deep cold, or takes over too early.
Mini-split head not responding
A wall unit blinks a code, drips, or won't heat or cool one room.
January lows average 18.7°F in NOAA’s 1991-2020 normals for Denver International Airport, and December and January are the coldest months, which is when these faults show up.

Repairing Older R-410A Heat Pumps First
Many existing heat pumps run on R-410A. Existing R-410A systems can legally be repaired. EPA rules affect new equipment. So an older refrigerant on its own isn’t a reason to replace a working system.
When the repair is large and the system is old, your technician lays out both paths, and you can read about heat pump installation in Littleton or new ductless mini-splits before deciding.

Heat Pump Repair Questions from Littleton Homeowners
How much does heat pump repair cost in Littleton?
Every repair visit starts with the $99.95 HVAC diagnostic. Your technician finds the fault, then shows you the repair price before any work starts. You can approve it on the spot or later through a link.
Why is my heat pump running on backup heat all the time?
It can be a refrigerant problem, a defrost fault, a thermostat setting or a system too small for the house. The diagnostic finds which one, so you’re not paying for parts on a guess.
Do you repair ductless mini-splits?
Yes. Mini-splits are heat pumps, and we repair them along with ducted and dual-fuel systems. If you’re adding new ductless units, see our mini-split installation page.
Is my R-410A heat pump obsolete?
No. Existing R-410A systems can legally be repaired. EPA rules affect new equipment, so we look at repair first.
What happens if my heat pump quits after hours?
Our hours are Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm and Saturday and Sunday 8am to 3pm. After hours, our answering service takes your call and we call back the next business day. On a dual-fuel system, the gas furnace may still carry the house in the meantime.
