Service Overview

Heat-pump symptoms need system-level diagnosis

A heat pump operates differently as outdoor conditions and thermostat demands change. Heco starts with the operating complaint, equipment configuration, and recent history, then evaluates the applicable components before explaining repair options.

What this service covers

No heating or cooling

Controls, electrical components, refrigeration, airflow, or indoor-outdoor communication may be involved.

Outdoor unit icing

Some frost can occur during heating operation, but persistent ice or abnormal defrost behavior requires evaluation.

Auxiliary heat concerns

Thermostat configuration, outdoor conditions, controls, and system performance can affect backup-heat operation.

Short cycling or unusual noise

Operating history and direct testing help separate control, airflow, electrical, and mechanical causes.

Questions about heat pump repair

Heat-pump supply air can feel different from furnace air. If the home is not maintaining temperature or operation has changed, request diagnosis.

Persistent heavy ice, unusual sounds, or loss of heating should be evaluated. Avoid chipping ice or using tools that can damage the coil.

Submit the equipment type, brand, model information, and symptoms so service compatibility can be confirmed before scheduling.

First distinguish cold airflow, little airflow and heat that starts then stops. Check Heat mode, the fan setting and an accessible filter according to the equipment instructions. Persistent no heat needs diagnosis; do not bypass safety controls or repeatedly reset breakers. Read the detailed furnace guide below. For a suspected gas leak or carbon monoxide alarm, leave and contact emergency services from a safe location.

A central heater may not start because of thermostat settings, lost power, a protective delay or an equipment or safety-control fault. Check only the thermostat's normal user settings and accessible filter or grille conditions. Report whether nothing starts, air blows cold or heat stops, and whether the system is a furnace or heat pump. An unresolved problem needs professional diagnosis; the detailed no-start guide below explains the next steps.

If your furnace will not start, it may be because the thermostat is not requesting heat, power is unavailable, the system is in a protective delay, or an equipment/safety-control fault has interrupted startup. Start with Heat mode, a setpoint above room temperature and any schedule or away setting. Follow your thermostat manual for user-replaceable batteries and normal startup timing. Notice which symptom applies: a blank thermostat, a silent furnace, equipment running without warm air, or heat that starts then stops. These conditions need different checks; none proves that a thermostat, igniter or motor has failed. Inspect only an accessible filter and clear grilles as the equipment instructions allow. Leave panels secured. Do not touch wiring, relight burners, bypass safety switches or repeatedly reset breakers. If it still will not start, request diagnosis and report your observations. For a gas odor or CO alarm, leave and contact emergency services from a safe location instead of waiting for an appointment. Read Heco's detailed no-start guide or call (916) 813-2766. The $49 repair service fee applies to first-time customers only; repair charges are separate.

If the heater is not working in your house, first identify whether your home uses a furnace or heat pump, then describe the problem: nothing starts, air blows but feels cool, heat stops repeatedly, or some rooms stay cold. “Not working” does not identify a particular failed part. A working fan or a Heat symbol on the thermostat does not by itself confirm that the home is receiving heat. Check the thermostat's normal user settings and schedule. Follow the system instructions for accessible filter inspection and keep return/supply grilles clear. Avoid opening equipment, adjusting wiring or refrigerant, forcing a defrost cycle or defeating safety controls. If the system cannot maintain the requested temperature, remains unresponsive or repeatedly stops, arrange a professional evaluation. When contacting Heco, include your city/ZIP, equipment type if known, thermostat message and when the problem started. Mention any urgent occupant needs so availability can be reviewed; a request does not confirm an appointment. For a gas odor or CO alarm, leave and contact emergency services from a safe location. Call (916) 813-2766, daily 8 AM–7 PM. The $49 repair service fee is for first-time customers only; repairs are charged separately after approval.
