No heat or no cooling
Checking the thermostat call, outdoor unit, reversing valve and controls to find why the system runs but does not heat or cool.
Heat pump short cycling, iced over or heating poorly on a cold Orinda morning? HAXX finds the fault on ducted and ductless systems.

Ducted systems, ductless mini-splits and multi-zone heat pumps. Tell us what the system is doing and we start the visit with that symptom.

Some frost in winter is normal. A unit that stays iced points to airflow, refrigerant or defrost-control problems.
Blinking lights and error codes on Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu and other ductless systems, traced to the sensor, board or refrigerant issue behind them.
Units that start and stop, rattle, hum or trip the breaker are checked for electrical, airflow and sizing problems.
Clogged condensate lines and drain pumps cleared and tested before water damages the wall.
If the system is not worth fixing, you get the reasons in writing and options to compare, not pressure.
Orinda's hills create sharp microclimates, so a heat pump in a shaded canyon lot works harder in winter than one on a sunny ridge. Repairs start with how the system behaves at your address.
Outdoor coils on shaded, damp lots ice up more often. HAXX tests defrost controls, sensors and reversing valves before replacing anything.
Units set on decks, slopes or narrow side yards are checked for level, drainage and debris from oaks and leaf litter.
As a licensed electrical contractor, HAXX traces breaker trips, disconnect faults and thermostat wiring during the same visit.
