Heat pump not heating in Custer
Common causes: stuck reversing valve, low refrigerant, failed defrost board, or auxiliary heat strips not engaging. We test all heat pump modes including emergency heat.
Heat pump iced over in Custer

Grinding, screeching, or rattling typically point to compressor, fan motor, or contactor issues. We diagnose before damage spreads to the compressor — the most expensive part.

Common HVAC Issues in Custer
Heat pump defrost cycle failures
Cold Custer winters stress heat pump defrost systems. A failing defrost board can lead to ice buildup and complete system shutdown.
Dirty filters reducing system efficiency
Clogged filters force your HVAC system to work harder, increasing energy bills by 15% or more. Custer homeowners should replace filters every 1-3 months.
Thermostat calibration problems
Improperly calibrated thermostats cause temperature swings and wasted energy. Smart thermostat upgrades pay for themselves within one Custer heating season.
Aging equipment nearing end of life
HVAC systems in Custer typically last 15-20 years. Units over 12 years old should be evaluated for efficiency — modern systems use 30-50% less energy.
