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.
San Francisco heat pumps run mostly in heating mode through cool, damp months, so defrost controls, sensors and condensate lines see steady wear.
Many heat pumps here were retrofitted into pre-1940 Victorians and Edwardians, where long line sets and tight chases can hide leaks and kinked tubing.
Outdoor units in the Outer Sunset and Outer Richmond face damp, salty air. Corroded coils, fan motors and terminals are checked on every call.
HAXX holds both HVAC and electrical licenses, so tripped breakers, failed disconnects and low-voltage wiring are handled on the same visit.
