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.

Most heat pump repair problems give some warning before they turn into 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 — catching it early usually means a shorter, cheaper fix.
AAA Pro HVAC built its heat pump repair process around one idea: diagnose first, quote honestly, fix it right.
We're licensed, insured, and staffed with techs who've spent years specifically on heat pump repair, not general handyman work with an HVAC certificate bolted on.

Heat pumps run in both summer and winter, so we treat heat pump failures as urgent regardless of season.
Auxiliary heat strip diagnostics are included in the same visit when relevant.
We test reversing valve solenoids, defrost thermostats, and control board timing directly.
Every job starts with a real diagnosis, not a guess — here's the full scope of what our heat pump repair technicians handle across Grass Valley, CA.
