Central heat pump or AC acting up? We offer heat pump repair in Shoreline for ducted systems on most brands, usually the same day. A licensed tech finds the real fault, and you approve the price before work begins.



Heat pumps run hard through wet, near-freezing Shoreline winters and the occasional heat wave. When a ducted system struggles, these are the faults behind most calls.
It could be a stuck reversing valve, a thermostat set up wrong, low refrigerant or simply a defrost cycle in progress.
Frost that melts between cycles is normal. A unit wrapped in ice points to a defrost sensor, board or fan problem.
Strips or a furnace carrying the load drive up your bill. Settings, a weak compressor or a refrigerant leak are likely causes.
A worn capacitor or contactor often keeps the outdoor fan and compressor from kicking on, and it is a common same-visit fix.
Turning on and off every few minutes strains parts. We check airflow, charge, controls and whether the system is sized properly.
A failing blower motor, a clogged filter or leaky ducts can leave rooms uneven even when the outdoor unit runs fine.
Switch the system off at the thermostat and the breaker, and do not open the electrical panel. A capacitor can hold a charge after power is off. Call us and we will inspect it safely.
You will always know what to expect before we start. Here is how every ducted heat pump visit works in Shoreline:
That covers a full diagnosis of the outdoor unit, air handler and controls, and it is waived if we repair it that same day.
We tell you what failed and what the fix costs. Nothing gets replaced until you approve that figure.
If the bill is larger than expected, Wisetack offers 0% interest for qualified buyers on approved credit.
Typical fixes like capacitors and contactors usually land between $85 and $300. Compressors and coils cost more, and we show you the options first.
Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Mitsubishi and more. Heat pumps share the same core parts, so we diagnose any make.
Your heat pump gets a fair look first. If it is truly worn out, we explain why and never push a sale.

A heat pump with a failed capacitor, fan motor or sensor is almost always worth repairing, not replacing.
Replacement comes up when a compressor dies on a system past its mid-teens, when the coil leaks in several places, or when repair bills keep stacking up. Many Shoreline homes still run original 1960s ductwork, and leaky ducts are sometimes the real reason a heat pump feels weak. We check the whole system before blaming the equipment.
If a new system is the smarter move, we lay out the numbers plainly and let you choose.

“I’m really glad I found this place. I had a furnace blower motor and capacitor go out on my 10 year old furnace. Mauro is extremely easy to work with and their price was very fair and his quote was hundred of dollars below 3 other quotes I received for the same job. With the cost of just about everything going up, It’s nice to find a company that is not trying to get every last dollar from you. (other companies were trying to upsell me with all sorts of other service) I will definitely be using them for all my air conditioning and heating services moving forward.”


“Service was awesome. Fast and efficient and Mauro was a delight to work with. I would recommend them to everyone!”
“Excellent Service and outcome exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend their service.”

It may be in a defrost cycle, which is normal for a few minutes. Cool air that lingers could be a thermostat setting, low refrigerant or a reversing valve problem.
Only when the heat pump has failed. Emergency heat shuts the heat pump off and runs backup strips alone, which costs more to run. Call us if you feel you need it.
Yes. A heat pump and a central AC share the same refrigeration parts, so we fix both. For wall-mounted ductless units, see our mini-split page.
If your new heat pump runs backup heat too often, the thermostat and lockout settings are worth reviewing. We can test the system and explain what we find.
A light frost that clears during defrost is normal. Thick ice, a blocked fan or ice that never melts needs a technician. Please do not chip it off.
Electricity here comes from Seattle City Light, and gas from Puget Sound Energy. It does not change how we repair your system.
