Reliable Heat Pump Repair for MetroWest Homes

Unexpected HVAC issues can disrupt your comfort, but the team at Blue Bear Plumbing, Heating & Air is here to help restore your heat pump’s performance with skilled repair services. We’ll assess your system thoroughly and provide lasting solutions that support efficient, year-round operation.

Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repair

Monitoring your system for signs of wear or malfunction can help prevent larger issues down the road. Schedule a service appointment if you notice:

  • No airflow
  • Musty or burning odors
  • Buzzing or grinding sounds
  • Inconsistent heating or cooling
  • Ice buildup on the evaporator coils
  • Refrigerant leaks
  • Frequent cycling on and off

Common Heat Pump Problems & Their Solutions

Heat pumps are a great HVAC option for your MetroWest home, but that doesn’t mean they won’t ever lose energy efficiency or break down. Whenever you detect problems with your heat pump, it’s important to have a licensed and insured HVAC technician inspect the unit to accurately diagnose the cause of the malfunction.

As your heat pump ages, you may notice some of the following issues:

  • Constant operation: Constant operation can be caused by malfunctioning thermostats, dirty air filters, dirty coils, a stuck reversing valve, or refrigerant leaks. It is also caused by having an incorrectly sized heat pump.
  • No airflow: If the heat pump isn’t operational, it can indicate problems with the thermostat, power supply, dirty air filters, or a bad starter capacitor.
  • Frozen unit: If the outdoor unit is frozen, it may be because of dirty air filters, dirty coils, or refrigerant leaks.
  • System short-cycling: If your unit turns off and on frequently without achieving the set temperature, the system could be incorrectly sized or overheated. Alternatively, you could be dealing with refrigerant leaks or a thermostat malfunction.
  • Odd odors: Mold growth, pest infestations, and electrical problems can cause the heat pump to emit strange smells.

Heat Pump Repair vs. Replacement

Most heat pumps last 10 to 15 years with proper care. As your system ages, its efficiency may decline, and repair needs may increase. In general, repairs are appropriate if:

  • The unit is relatively new
  • The repair is minor or under warranty
  • Performance hasn’t significantly decreased

Replacement may be more cost-effective when:

  • The unit is over a decade old
  • Repairs cost more than 50% of a new unit
  • The system is improperly sized for your current home layout

If your home has been expanded or the original system was miscalculated, upgrading to a properly sized heat pump can improve comfort, reduce energy usage, and prevent future issues.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Blue Bear was awesome to work with - we had to have an emergency water heater replacement and they were able to come within 24hrs. We received multiple options with pricing and were able to pick a solution that worked best for our needs. Nice install and great clean up afterwards. Had them back out again to install an outdoor shower Again, on time, great communication, completed the installation exactly the way we wanted it and at the exact price quoted. Fantastic job! Oh and we love that they are owned locally!! Congrats to you Chris and team! Thanks for being a great neighbor. Jeremy D.
So the day before Thanksgiving our water heater sprays water all over the basement floor. We think with the holiday and the weekend coming, there goes water usage for at least 5 days. But no! We call blue bear that morning, and the very nice lady sets up a technician to come out to inspect that day! Peter gets to our house, diagnoses the problem, gives our family a few different options explaining everything and gets it all done SAME day! Couldn’t be happier with the friendliness and professionalism of this company. When our furnace decides to let go on us (probably before the next holiday) they will be #1 on the list to call...5 stars and thank you! George K.
Blue Bear was incredible - easy to schedule, clear communication, professional work quality, expert support afterward. We had a complex project (two heat pumps that needed to work with our prior system) and the Blue Bear team absolutely hit a home run! Great work! John K.
Blue Bear exceeded my expectations. Ben was on time, courteous, extremely knowledgeable, and quickly fixed all the issues I had with my boiler. He even noticed a couple other issues I was unaware of, gave me a quote on the spot, and repaired them the same day. This definitely saved me trouble that would have “surprised” me down the road so his attention to detail gave me peace of mind that my system is working properly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Ben and Blue Bear to anyone needing HVAC services. Brian R.
I’ve used Blue Bear plumbing quite a lot. I own a hair salon and often, plumbing issues occur, which is problematic for us to run effectively. Their plumbers have always been super nice, polite and very knowledgeable. Today, Scott came to fix a pipe that burst and he was awesome- but like I said, I’ve used them a bunch and everyone has been outstanding. Carolyn C.
