We service both air-source and ductless heat pump systems.
A heat pump stuck in one mode, or one that's iced over and won't defrost, gets diagnosed with the right tools for that specific failure mode.
If you're dealing with a system stuck blowing cold air in heating mode, an outdoor unit that's iced over and won't run its defrost cycle, or a system that switches modes but never actually reaches set temperature, you already know a heat pump that seems to be 'not heating' is often actually a reversing valve or defrost cycle problem, which a technician trained mainly on standard AC systems can easily misdiagnose.
