Top-rated independent heating and cooling across South Florida
Heat Pump Repair in Alva, FL — Book a Visit Today
A heat pump that runs constantly without cooling, or blows cool air when you asked for heat, is telling you something about the reversing valve, the charge or the defrost control. We handle heat pump repair for Alva homes, and since a heat pump here works nearly all year, small faults show up fast. Look at the outdoor unit and clear any grass clippings or palm debris crowding the coil, then confirm your vents are open. If the symptoms stay, call us with what you are hearing and seeing, or fill in the quote form and we will get you on the schedule.

Common heat pump faults in Alva homes
- The air coming out feels cool when I ask for heat Reversing valve stuck in cooling, or a failed valve solenoid
- The outdoor unit is covered in ice and stays that way Defrost control board, defrost sensor or low airflow across the coil
- It runs constantly and never satisfies the thermostat Refrigerant leak, dirty coil or an undersized call from a miswired thermostat
- The backup heat runs all the time, even on mild days Dual-fuel changeover setting, outdoor sensor fault or thermostat staging
- It hums or clicks outside but the fan never spins Failed capacitor, contactor or motor winding
Whether you call it heat pump repair or heat pump service, the work is identical and so is the quote you approve first.

Why is my heat pump blowing cool air in heating mode?
Usually the reversing valve is stuck in cooling or its solenoid has failed, though a low refrigerant charge or a thermostat wiring fault can do the same. We test the valve, the control signal and the pressures, then tell you which part is at fault.
Is ice on the outdoor unit normal?
A light frost that clears during a defrost cycle is normal. A thick ice shell that never melts is not. That points to a defrost board, a bad sensor, a stuck reversing valve or restricted airflow, and it needs a repair before the coil is damaged.
What is a defrost cycle problem?
The heat pump briefly reverses to melt frost off the outdoor coil. If the board, sensor or timer fails, the unit either never defrosts and ices over, or defrosts constantly and never heats the house. Both are repairable at the control level.
What does dual-fuel repair involve?
A dual-fuel system pairs a heat pump with a furnace and switches between them at a set outdoor temperature. Most complaints trace to the changeover setting, the outdoor sensor or the staging wiring. We verify the switchover point and the control logic, then correct it.
How soon can you get to my house in Alva?
Call us and we will give you a real window rather than a guess. Alva sits between our Lee County and Hendry County routes, so same-day AC repair is often possible, especially if you call in the morning. Afternoon storm season can slow travel on North River Road, and we will tell you if that pushes your appointment later in the day.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form and describe what changed. Warm air, short cycling, a breaker that keeps tripping, water stains on the ceiling. That detail helps us bring the right parts.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, the electrical side, refrigerant performance, airflow and the condensate line. We find the actual cause instead of swapping parts and hoping the problem stays away.
- Step 3
You approve the repair
We explain what failed, what it takes to fix it, and how long the part is likely to last. Nothing gets replaced until you say go, and we test the system before leaving.

Why homeowners call us
- Built for the salt airCoastal Florida is hard on outdoor equipment. Coils corrode, contactors pit, fan motors seize early. We look for that damage during every air conditioning repair so a small failure does not take the whole system down.
- Condensate lines we actually clearBy late summer, drain lines clog with algae and shut systems off on the float switch. We clear the line, check the pan and the safety switch, and show you what caused the backup.
- Heating tooCold snaps still arrive. We do heating repair and heater repair on heat pumps, strip heat and furnace repair where homes have one, so the system works in January as well as August.
- Plain talk about older systemsIf a repair makes sense, we repair it. If a unit is failing in ways that will keep costing you, we say that too and lay out the options. You decide, not us.
