Heat pump problems
we diagnose and fix.
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.
Ice on the outdoor unit
Some frost in winter is normal. A unit that stays iced points to airflow, refrigerant or defrost-control problems.
Mini-split error codes
Blinking lights and error codes on Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu and other ductless systems, traced to the sensor, board or refrigerant issue behind them.
Short cycling and noise
Units that start and stop, rattle, hum or trip the breaker are checked for electrical, airflow and sizing problems.
Water leaks from indoor heads
Clogged condensate lines and drain pumps cleared and tested before water damages the wall.
Repair or replace advice
If the system is not worth fixing, you get the reasons in writing and options to compare, not pressure.
BERKELEY DETAILSHeat pump repair
Heat pump repair
for Berkeley homes.
Many Berkeley heat pumps were retrofitted into older houses, with air handlers in basements and outdoor units tucked into narrow side yards. Those installs bring their own repair patterns.
01
Basement air handlers
In Elmwood and North Berkeley, indoor units often sit in crawlspaces or basements, where clogged condensate lines and dirty filters cause shutdowns.
02
Outdoor units on slopes
Hillside condensers near Thousand Oaks and the Berkeley Hills collect leaves and debris, which leads to airflow faults and defrost problems.
03
Wiring checked too
HAXX holds a C-10 electrical license, so a tripping breaker, bad disconnect or loose control wire is fixed on the same visit.

GOOD TO KNOW
Heat Pump Repair in Berkeley: questions, answered.
Why does my heat pump stop heating on cold Berkeley mornings?
A failed defrost sensor, a stuck reversing valve or a low charge are common causes. HAXX tests each one before recommending a repair.
Do you repair heat pumps in older Berkeley homes?
Yes. HAXX services systems retrofitted into pre-war and mid-century houses, including units with basement or crawlspace air handlers.
Is it worth repairing an older heat pump?
It depends on the fault, the refrigerant the system uses and the condition of the compressor and coils. HAXX explains the repair cost against replacement options so you can decide.
Do you repair ductless mini-splits?
Yes. HAXX services wall, ceiling cassette and ducted mini-split heads, single-zone and multi-zone.
