If your system is not heating or cooling properly, makes strange noises, cycles on and off constantly, or blows air without reaching the right temperature, it may be in need of service. You might also notice higher utility bills, reduced airflow, or inconsistent room temperatures. When in doubt, have your system inspected before small issues become costly breakdowns.
The most frequent problems include:
These issues often show up gradually, so early detection through maintenance is key.
This usually indicates a problem with the reversing valve, low refrigerant, or dirty outdoor coils. It could also mean the unit is in defrost mode. If your heat pump continues blowing cold air for more than a few minutes or doesn't switch modes, contact us for diagnostics and repair.
Ducted heat pumps should be serviced twice a year—once before the cooling season (spring) and once before the heating season (fall). Biannual tune-ups help detect wear and tear early, maintain efficiency, and extend the system's service life.
During a maintenance visit, RJ's technicians will:
Routine maintenance keeps your heat pump running efficiently and helps avoid costly repairs down the road.
If your heat pump was installed before 2024, it likely uses R-410A, which is currently being phased down in favor of low-GWP refrigerants like R-454B and R-32. While we can still service R-410A systems, repairs involving refrigerant may become more expensive over time. RJ's can advise you on EPA-compliant options and future-ready upgrades if your current system is nearing the end of its lifespan.
Yes. We provide leak detection, system sealing, and refrigerant recharging using approved, compliant refrigerants. If your unit has a major leak, we'll walk you through the cost-benefit of repair vs. replacement based on the system's age and condition.
Common reasons include:
A frozen system reduces efficiency and can lead to long-term damage if not addressed. Our technicians will pinpoint the cause and correct it before it worsens.
While duct cleaning isn't included in standard tune-ups, RJ's does offer duct inspections and cleaning services as part of a broader indoor air quality strategy. Clean ductwork helps maintain airflow, improve efficiency, and reduce allergens and dust in your home.
