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.
PALO ALTO DETAILSHeat pump service
Heat pump service
across Palo Alto.
Palo Alto has about 2,700 Eichler homes plus older Craftsman and ranch houses, and more of them heat with heat pumps every year as the city pushes electrification.
01
Ductless systems in Eichlers
Greenmeadow and Charleston Meadows Eichlers often run multi-zone mini-splits. Clogged condensate lines, failed sensors and line-set leaks are frequent finds.
02
Ducted units in older homes
Crawlspace and attic air handlers in Midtown and Barron Park homes lose airflow to dirty coils, loose ducts and weak blower motors.
03
Power side checked too
HAXX holds both C-20 and C-10 licenses, so a tripping breaker, failed disconnect or control wiring fault is handled in the same visit.

GOOD TO KNOW
Heat Pump Repair in Palo Alto: questions, answered.
Do you repair multi-zone mini-splits in Palo Alto Eichlers?
Yes. HAXX services single and multi-zone ductless heat pumps, including systems added to Eichlers that originally had radiant floor heat.
Why is my heat pump blowing cool air in heat mode?
Common causes are a stuck reversing valve, a defrost control problem, a bad sensor or a low refrigerant charge. HAXX tests each before recommending a repair.
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.
