Troubleshooting
This site features troubleshooting instructions for Single-Speed Split-System Heat Pumps. If your system is a Geothermal Unit, a “Communicating” System, or if it includes a Gas or Oil furnace, then we do not yet have written troubleshooting help for you. Many of the major components are the same, but the controls and troubleshooting procedures can be different. You may still contact us and work with our skilled technicians to resolve whatever issue(s) you may be having.
Troubleshooting and repairing your own heat pump involves working with live electrical circuits and high-pressure refrigerant. Before you begin, please read our disclaimer .
To begin, click on the Troubleshooting menu above, and look at the items on the drop-down list. Choose the one that most closely resembles your situation. If you have an unusual situation that is not represented here, please contact us; in most cases we will get back to you right away.
If you are a beginner, check out our multimeter page. You will need to know how to take some basic measurements using a Volt Meter, an Ohmmeter, and an Ammeter.
