Common Heat Pump Repair Issues
With our many years in the business, we’ve seen it all! Here are some of the most common heat pump problems we get calls for.
- Loud noises– If your heat pump is making unusual, loud noises, it usually means something is broken and banging around inside of it. A dislodged fan belt might start snapping against other moving parts and as it gets looser, the noise will get louder. When your heat pump’s odd noises start to wear on your nerves, call Mechanical HVAC. We’ll find out what is causing the commotion and replace or repair the part(s) right away.
- Frozen unit– As long as your heat pump’s defrost timer is working correctly, the unit should never develop more than a thin layer of frost or ice during the winter. If your heat pump develops thick ice or becomes completely frozen, there is definitely a problem. The defrost timer may be broken or another issue could be causing the big freeze. Mechanical HVAC will diagnose the problem and get your heat pump back to a healthy temperature.
- Leaking– Heat pump leaking is often caused by a cracked or clogged condensate drain. Leaks mean your heat pump is malfunctioning—and once the water enters your home, it can lead to mold and mildew growth. Mechanical can replace the condensate pan or clear out any drain pipe blockages.
In addition, if your unit is not properly heating or cooling or the heat pump is creating hot and cold spots in your house, it usually means one or more of the following:
- Your heat pump is too large or too small for your home
- Your vents are blocked or poorly placed
- Your duct work is poorly configured
- Your home needs additional installation

Commonly Asked Questions
How do I know if my heat pump is too small or too large for my home?
If your heat pump is struggling to maintain a consistent temperature or is running constantly without sufficient results, it could be too small. Alternatively, if it cycles on and off too frequently or produces excessive noise, it may be too large. For homes in Wake Forest, our local experts can help ensure your system is the right size for your specific needs.
What should I do if my heat pump is leaking water?
A leaking heat pump often indicates a problem with the condensate drain or the pan itself. If you’re seeing water around your heat pump, it’s best to call Mechanical HVAC Services for a professional diagnosis and quick repairs to avoid water damage to your home.
Why is my heat pump making strange noises?
Strange noises, such as banging or grinding, could signal a mechanical issue like a loose fan belt or motor malfunction. If your heat pump starts making unfamiliar noises, call our Wake Forest HVAC team to inspect and repair the issue before it worsens.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my heat pump?
Regular maintenance is key to ensuring your heat pump runs efficiently, especially with the seasonal temperature swings in Wake Forest. We recommend scheduling a maintenance check at least once a year to avoid unexpected repairs and prolong the lifespan of your system.
What can I do to improve the energy efficiency of my heat pump?
For better energy efficiency, ensure that your heat pump’s air filters are clean, vents are unobstructed, and your home is properly insulated. Additionally, scheduling regular maintenance with a Wake Forest professional can help keep your system running at peak efficiency year-round.
