At Hardin Bros HVAC, we specialize in professional heat pump repair throughout Cleveland, Rocky River, Fairview Park, Lakewood, North Olmsted, Parma, Strongsville, North Royalton, and surrounding areas. If your heat pump isn’t performing as it should, addressing issues early can prevent costly breakdowns.

Weak Heating or Cooling
Blowing warm air in cooling mode or cool air in heating mode could signal refrigerant problems, compressor failure, or airflow restrictions.
Short Cycling
Frequent on-and-off cycling without completing a full heating or cooling cycle may be caused by thermostat issues, refrigerant leaks, or a failing compressor.
Higher Energy Bills
A sudden spike in energy costs can mean your heat pump is working harder due to dirty filters, refrigerant leaks, or a malfunctioning compressor.
Ice Buildup on Coils
Ice forming on the outdoor unit or evaporator coils may point to low refrigerant levels or restricted airflow.
Unresponsive Thermostat
If your heat pump won’t turn on or doesn’t respond to temperature adjustments, the issue could be with the thermostat, wiring, or control board.

What Should You Do Before Calling Us To Repair Your Heat Pump?
At Hardin Bros HVAC, we understand that some heat pump issues can be resolved with simple troubleshooting steps. Before scheduling a repair, try these quick checks to see if you can restore your system’s performance.
Check the Thermostat
- Ensure the thermostat is set to the correct heating or cooling mode and that the temperature setting is accurate.
- Replace the batteries if needed and check for any incorrect programming.
Inspect the Power Supply
- Check the circuit breaker or fuse box for any tripped breakers and reset if necessary.
- Verify that the heat pump’s power switch is on.
Change or Clean Air Filters
- Dirty or clogged filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency.
- Clean or replace filters regularly to prevent overheating, poor performance, and higher energy costs.
Clear Debris Around the Outdoor Unit
- Remove leaves, branches, and dirt from around the outdoor unit to allow proper airflow.
- Keep at least two feet of clearance around the unit to prevent blockages.
Check for Ice Buildup
- If you see ice on the outdoor unit, switch the system to fan mode to help defrost it.
- Persistent ice may indicate airflow restrictions or refrigerant issues, requiring professional service.
Listen for Unusual Noises
- Rattling, grinding, or squeaking could signal a mechanical issue, loose parts, or worn-out components.
- If noises persist, a professional inspection is recommended.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, or if you’re unsure about anything, Hardin Bros HVAC is ready to help.

What Are The Most Common Heat Pump Problems We Repair?
At Hardin Bros HVAC, we specialize in professional heat pump repair services throughout Cleveland, Rocky River, Fairview Park, surrounding areas. Our skilled technicians diagnose and fix all major heat pump issues, ensuring your system runs efficiently year-round.
Blower Motor Repair or Replacement
The blower motor circulates air throughout your home. If it malfunctions, your heat pump may struggle to distribute warm or cool air evenly.
Capacitor Replacement
Capacitors provide the necessary energy to start and run the motor. A failed capacitor can prevent your heat pump from turning on.
Compressor Repair or Replacement
The compressor pressurizes refrigerant to regulate temperature. If it fails, the heat pump won’t heat or cool effectively.
Condenser Coil Cleaning or Replacement
A dirty or damaged condenser coil reduces system efficiency, causing higher energy consumption and poor performance.
Fan Motor Repair or Replacement
The fan motor regulates heat transfer during both heating and cooling. If it malfunctions, your system won’t function properly.
Refrigerant Leak Repair
Leaking refrigerant reduces your heat pump’s efficiency and output, forcing the system to work harder. We repair leaks and refill refrigerant to the correct levels.
Reversing Valve Repair or Replacement
The reversing valve switches between heating and cooling modes. If it fails, your heat pump may be stuck in one mode.
Thermostat Repair or Replacement
A faulty thermostat can cause inconsistent temperatures, continuous running, or failure to turn on.
Defrost Control Repair or Replacement
The defrost control prevents coil freezing in winter. If it malfunctions, your heat pump may ice over and stop working efficiently.
We repair all makes and models, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Mitsubishi, Daikin, York, Goodman, American Standard, Bryant, and Ruud.

Should You Replace Or Repair Your Heat Pump If It's Failing?
At Hardin Bros HVAC, we know that deciding between repairing or replacing your heat pump can be a difficult choice. If your system is struggling, the following factors can help guide your decision.
Age of the Heat Pump
Most heat pumps last 10 to 15 years. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, upgrading to a newer, more efficient model may be more cost-effective than continued repairs.
Frequency and Cost of Repairs
If your heat pump requires frequent repairs, or if a single repair costs more than 50% of a new system, replacement may be the better long-term investment.
Energy Efficiency
Older heat pumps are often less efficient, leading to higher energy bills. If you’ve noticed increased heating and cooling costs, an upgrade to a modern, high-efficiency unit can reduce energy consumption.
Inconsistent Temperatures
A failing heat pump may struggle to maintain consistent indoor temperatures. If repairs aren’t solving the problem, a new system may provide better comfort and performance.
Excessive Noise or Strange Sounds
Heat pumps should run quietly. If your system is making grinding, rattling, or buzzing noises, even after repairs, it could indicate serious internal issues that warrant a replacement.
Frequent Cycling
If your heat pump turns on and off constantly, it may be undersized for your home or struggling to maintain the desired temperature. If this issue persists despite maintenance and minor repairs, a replacement might be necessary.

TESTIMONIALS
I recently had the pleasure of working with Jacob Hardin for some HVAC services, and I couldn't be more impressed with his professionalism, expertise, and intregrity. From start to finish, he was courteous, highly knowledgeable and looked out for me as his customer. He took the time to clearly communicate the issues with my furnace and air conditioner, provided clear and detailed estimates, and worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done right. The quality of his work is impressive and reflects who he is as person. Whether you're looking for routine maintenance, repairs, or system installations, I highly recommend Hardin Bros. HVAC. Jacob truly goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction, and it's clear he takes pride in his work.
I have worked with a lot of HVAC companies on multiple properties and Hardin Bros HVAC is by far the best. Jacob and his team do a great job of communicating, they perform great work, are very knowledgeable about the different HVAC systems and what systems works best for different applications, and they are very fair in pricing. I would highly recommend this trust worthy HVAC contractor for both full home duct/furnace/AC installation and smaller service work.
This is the best HVAC service I've ever worked with. They quickly diagnosed the problem with my furnace, found replacement parts and fixed it same day, and the fee was very reasonable. The communication was perfect, I got a heads-up message that they were on the way, great updates along the way, and yeah just everything was great. Stop looking! Hire these people!
Jacob and his team are absolutely phenomenal; I won't have anyone else touch our HVAC now. They've helped us with our hot water heater, they've installed brand new AC unit and furnace and helped with duct work. Jacob is honest but very kind, knowledgeable and down to earth- you know youre talking to a real person who cares about his customers and his work- not just another salesman looking to make money. He's willing to work with people around their budget and to fit all of their needs which was a huge plus for us, considering we were quoted $18k-$30k from other big name companies. With Hardin Bros we got better service, better care and spent well under half of what it would've cost us anywhere else. He's the absolute best, we won't go to anyone else from now on. 10/10 recommend! Hardin Bros have customers for life with us!
Jacob helped a friend of mine when they had no AC. Hes very professional, friendly, and fair. He took time out of his day to explain the new equipment and how it worked.
Had an issue with a dryer vent connection. Called Jacob who immediately was able to diagnose the issue and help correct. Would certainly use him again and recommend to others!
