Heat Pump Repair for Year-Round Comfort
A heat pump heats your home in winter and cools it in summer, so when it breaks down, you lose comfort in every season. BOSH Home Solutions repairs ducted heat pumps, ductless mini-splits and dual-fuel systems from every major brand across Bucks County, Montgomery County and Northeast Philadelphia.
Our trucks carry common parts, so many repairs are finished on the first visit. You’ll get a clear explanation and upfront pricing before any work starts, and the diagnostic fee is waived when we do the repair.

Heat Pumps We Repair
Ductless Mini-Splits
Wall, ceiling and floor units for additions, attics and homes without ductwork.
Dual-Fuel Systems
Heat pumps paired with a gas furnace that takes over on the coldest days.
Common Heat Pump Repairs
Most heat pump problems in winter come back to a few parts. A failed defrost control or sensor lets ice build up on the outdoor coil. A stuck reversing valve can leave the system blowing cool air in heat mode. A bad capacitor or contactor can stop the compressor or outdoor fan from starting.
We also find and repair refrigerant leaks, worn outdoor fan motors, failing compressors, dirty coils and wiring or thermostat problems. If your heat pump is leaning on expensive backup electric heat, one of these is usually the reason.
Ductless Mini-Split Repair
Ductless mini-splits are efficient and quiet, but they need care too. We repair indoor heads that won’t heat, blink error codes, leak water or blow weak air, and outdoor units that won’t start or ice over.
Common fixes include clearing clogged condensate lines, cleaning dirty filters and blower wheels, replacing sensors and control boards, and repairing refrigerant leaks at the line set connections. We work on single-zone and multi-zone systems from every major brand.
Dual-Fuel and Backup Heat Problems
Many Bucks County homes pair a heat pump with a gas furnace or electric backup heat for the coldest days. When the switchover isn’t set up right, you can end up with high bills, short cycling or rooms that never get warm.
We check the thermostat’s balance point and backup heat settings, the furnace or electric heat strips, and the controls between them, so each system runs when it should. If your emergency heat light is on, call us, since the heat pump itself may have stopped working.
Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repair
Cool Air in Heat Mode
Lukewarm or cold air for more than a few minutes.
Heavy Ice
A solid layer of ice on the outdoor unit that doesn’t clear.
Running Nonstop
The system never shuts off, even in mild weather.
Emergency Heat On
The aux or emergency heat light stays on.
Loud Noises
Grinding, rattling or screeching from the outdoor unit.
High Electric Bills
A sudden jump in your winter electric bill.
What’s Normal for a Heat Pump?
Some heat pump behavior looks like a problem but isn’t.
Defrost Mode
The outdoor unit stops, makes a whooshing sound and may release steam for a few minutes. That’s normal.
Light Frost
A thin layer of frost on the outdoor coil in cold, damp weather is normal and should clear during defrost.
Long Run Times
Heat pumps run longer and more evenly than a furnace. That’s how they save energy.
Warm, Not Hot, Air
Air from a heat pump feels cooler than air from a gas furnace, even when it’s heating properly.
Quick Checks Before You Call
These simple checks sometimes get the heat back on. If they don’t, give us a call.
Thermostat
Set to Heat (not Emergency Heat), a few degrees above room temperature, with fresh batteries.
Breakers
Check the breakers for the outdoor unit and the indoor air handler.
Filter
Replace a dirty filter. On mini-splits, rinse the indoor unit’s filters.
Outdoor Unit
Clear snow, ice, leaves and debris from around the unit. Never chip ice off the coil.
Repair or Replace Your Heat Pump?
There are numerous factors to consider. A BOSH technician can help you weigh a repair against a replacement.
Age
Most heat pumps last about 12 to 15 years, since they run year-round.
Compressor Failure
A failed compressor on an older system usually makes replacement the better value.
Older Refrigerant
Systems that use R-22 are expensive to repair.
Efficiency
Newer heat pumps heat far better in cold weather and cost less to run.

Refrigerant
Leak repair and recharge add to the cost, especially on older refrigerants.
System Type
Ducted, ductless and multi-zone systems use different parts.
Age and Brand
Parts for older systems can cost more and take longer to get.
