Heat Pump Repair & Service in Reston, VA
A heat pump in Reston works year round, heating in winter and cooling in summer, so it wears faster than a furnace or an AC alone. When it struggles, you usually notice higher electric bills before you notice the house getting uncomfortable. Reliable HVAC McLean serves Reston, Lake Anne and Hunters Woods. We answer 24/7, including nights and weekends.
What usually goes wrong
- Outdoor fan not turning
- Electric bills jumping in winter
- Lukewarm air in heating mode
- Outdoor unit covered in ice that won't clear
- Auxiliary or emergency heat running constantly
How we handle heat pump repair & service
We look at the outdoor unit and the indoor air handler together, because a heat pump problem can start on either side, and we explain what we find before quoting.
About Reston homes
Homes in Reston are mostly townhouse clusters from the 1960s through 90s, mid-rise condos near Reston Town Center and single-family homes along the lakes. Many Reston townhouses are all-electric with a heat pump outside and an air handler in a utility closet or attic, and a lot of those original systems are now well past 20 years old. Those details shape how we approach heat pump repair & service in Reston: what equipment we expect to find, where it sits and how the ductwork is likely laid out.
Cost and timing
Capacitors, contactors and defrost sensors are common and reasonably priced. Reversing valves and compressors are bigger jobs, and on an older heat pump we'll show you how a repair compares with a high-efficiency replacement.
Questions we hear
Should my heat pump have ice on it?
Light frost that melts during defrost is normal. A thick block of ice that stays is not.
Why is emergency heat on all the time?
Usually because the outdoor unit isn't keeping up. Running on emergency heat costs a lot, so it's worth a quick look.
