When your heat pump quits in the middle of an Ottawa winter or summer, comfort can’t wait.

Our licensed HVAC technicians diagnose problems fast, explain your options clearly, and get your system running again — without surprise charges or pressure tactics.

Common Heat Pump Problems We Repair

We repair all makes and models of central heat pumps and ductless mini-split systems. Common issues our Ottawa customers call us about include:

  • Heat pump not heating in winter or not cooling in summer
  • System running constantly but not reaching the set temperature
  • Heat pump turning on and off frequently (short cycling)
  • Outdoor unit frozen or iced over and not defrosting properly
  • Unusual noises — banging, rattling, hissing, or grinding
  • Heat pump stuck in one mode and not switching between heating and cooling
  • Refrigerant leak or low refrigerant levels
  • Electrical issues, blown fuses, or tripped breakers
  • Outdoor unit not turning on at all
  • Thermostat not communicating with the heat pump

Our Heat Pump Repair Process

We believe you deserve a straight answer, not a sales pitch. Here is how a typical heat pump repair call works with Capital City:

  • Book a service call, available same-day and next-day in most cases
  • Our technician arrives on time and performs a thorough system diagnostic
  • We explain exactly what is wrong and what it will cost to fix it
  • With your approval, we carry out the repair using quality parts
  • We test the system fully before we leave to confirm everything is working

Repair vs. Replace: Honest Advice You Can Trust

Sometimes a repair is the right call. Other times, an aging or failing system is costing you more than it is worth. We will always give you an honest assessment of whether repairing or replacing your heat pump makes more financial sense, considering the age of your unit, cost of the repair, and energy efficiency. We never push unnecessary replacements.

As a general guideline, if a repair costs more than 50% of the value of a new system and the unit is over 10 years old, replacement is usually the smarter investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases we offer same-day and next-day service across Ottawa. If your heat pump has stopped working entirely in extreme weather, let us know when you call and we'll do our best to prioritize your repair.
This can point to several issues — low refrigerant, a stuck reversing valve, a faulty defrost cycle, or a problem with the outdoor unit. A proper diagnostic is the only way to know for sure, which is exactly what our technician will do before recommending any repair.
A light frost in cold weather is normal, and a healthy heat pump clears it automatically during its defrost cycle. Heavy or persistent ice that doesn't melt usually means the defrost cycle isn't working properly and should be checked.
It depends entirely on the problem and the parts involved. We perform a full diagnostic first, then explain exactly what's wrong and what it will cost — with your approval — before we begin any work. No surprise charges.
If your unit is over 10 years old and the repair would cost more than about 50% of a new system, replacement is usually the smarter investment. We'll give you an honest assessment based on your unit's age, condition, and efficiency, and never push an unnecessary replacement.
