A clear, step-by-step approach to every heat pump repair project we take on.
KIC Refrigeration begins every heat pump repair in Everett, WA with a dual-mode performance test. We measure supply air temperatures in heat and cool, verify the reversing valve energizes and de-energizes properly, and test the defrost control board to confirm it initiates defrost cycles at the correct intervals.
We connect manifold gauges to check suction and discharge pressures, calculate superheat and subcooling, and compare readings to the manufacturer charge chart. Incorrect pressures reveal leaks, restrictions, or compressor issues.
Our Everett technician installs the replacement part with proper brazing techniques for sealed-system components, recovers refrigerant before opening the circuit, pulls a 500-micron vacuum on reassembly, and recharges to the manufacturer-specified weight.
KIC Refrigeration does not consider your Everett, WA heat pump repair complete until every performance metric checks out. We verify pressures, temperatures, amperage draws, defrost timing, reversing valve switching, and thermostat communication before signing off on the work.
Common questions about heat pump repair costs, timelines, and what to expect.
Heat pump repair in Everett typically ranges from $150 to $600 for common component failures like run capacitors, contactors, defrost timers, and condenser fan motors. Reversing valve replacement is a more involved job that runs $800 to $2,000 including refrigerant recovery and recharge. Compressor replacement costs $1,500 to $3,000 depending on the unit tonnage, refrigerant type — whether R-410A or older R-22 — and whether a hard-start kit is needed. KIC Refrigeration provides a detailed written estimate with parts and labor itemized before any work begins at your Everett property, so you know exactly what the repair will cost.
