Repair and service for heat pumps that won't heat, won't cool, ice over, run nonstop or lean too hard on backup heat strips. Call to connect with an independent, licensed contractor serving Lake Charles and nearby towns.
📞 Call (337) 607-1881Request serviceHeat pumps are common across southwest Louisiana, cooling through long summers and handling the mild but damp winters.
Around Lake Charles, heat pump repairs often trace back to corrosion on the outdoor coil, failed fan motors, and refrigerant leaks. Winter calls frequently involve systems that rely too heavily on backup heat strips during the occasional cold snap.
The technician will typically check the reversing valve, defrost controls and sensors, refrigerant charge, outdoor fan, capacitor and the backup heat strips. Because a heat pump runs in both seasons, ask whether a twice-yearly service plan makes sense for your home.
Some steam and a whooshing sound during defrost are normal in cold weather. Keep snow, leaves and debris clear of the outdoor unit, check the filter, and don't chip ice off the coil, which can damage the fins.
