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.
EL CERRITO DETAILSHeat pump repair
Heat pump repair
in El Cerrito.
El Cerrito homes run from flatland bungalows near San Pablo Avenue to houses on steep hillside lots. Where the equipment sits shapes how a heat pump fails and how it gets fixed.
01
Defrost and reversing faults
A unit that blows cool air on a cold morning often has a defrost board, sensor or reversing valve problem. Each part is tested before anything is replaced.
02
Hillside installs
Condensers on decks, retaining walls or narrow side yards see more vibration and drainage trouble. HAXX checks mounts, pads and line sets along with the refrigerant circuit.
03
Wiring on the same visit
HAXX holds C-10 electrical and C-20 HVAC licenses, so a tripping breaker, failed disconnect or control wire fault is fixed without a second trade.

GOOD TO KNOW
Heat Pump Repair in El Cerrito: questions, answered.
What causes a heat pump to ice up in winter?
Common causes are a failed defrost control or sensor, low refrigerant or poor airflow from a dirty coil or filter. A technician tests these before quoting the repair.
Do you repair heat pumps in El Cerrito ADUs?
Yes. Single-zone heat pumps serving backyard cottages and garage conversions are a regular call, including their dedicated circuits.
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.
