Expert Heat Pump Repair in McKinney, TX
Your heat pump handles heating AND cooling — so when it breaks down, your whole home feels it. Our certified technicians diagnose the exact problem and fix it right, often on the same visit.
When Your Heat Pump Stops Working, Every Room Feels It
A heat pump isn't just your heater or just your AC — it's both. When something goes wrong, you lose climate control in every season at once. In North Texas, where summer heat and winter cold swings can hit within the same week, that's not a minor inconvenience, it's urgent. Some heat pump problems worsen fast: a refrigerant leak stresses the compressor; a stuck reversing valve can damage the system if it keeps running. If your home isn't reaching temperature, something is wrong and it isn't going to self-correct.
- System runs constantly but rooms won't reach temperature
- Heat pump blowing cool air in winter (or warm air in summer)
- Ice forming on the outdoor unit in any season
- Loud grinding, rattling, or hissing from the unit
- Sudden spike in your electric bill with no change in usage
- Outdoor unit won't switch between heating and cooling modes
What Our Heat Pump Repair Service Includes
Heat pump systems are more complex than a standard furnace or air conditioner because they do both jobs using the same core components. A misdiagnosis wastes your money and leaves the real problem untouched. At Texas 1st Choice Heat & Air, our McKinney-based technicians start every heat pump repair with a detailed diagnostic, not a guess, because the right fix starts with finding the right cause.
Compressor & Refrigerant Diagnostics
Compressor performance and amperage draw measured, refrigerant charge verified in both heating and cooling modes, leak detection performed if charge is low.
Reversing Valve & Mode Testing
Reversing valve operation verified — the component that switches the system between heating and cooling, and a frequent point of failure unique to heat pumps.
Electrical & Component Testing
Capacitors and contactors tested, fan motor function checked on both indoor and outdoor units, all wiring connections, fuses, and disconnects inspected.
Coil & Airflow Service
Condenser and evaporator coil condition evaluated, thermostat calibration verified, electrical control board inspected.
Before we leave, your system is run through a complete end-to-end performance test in both heating and cooling modes to confirm the repair is holding. You'll know exactly what was wrong, what was done, and what to watch for going forward.

How Much Does Heat Pump Repair Cost in McKinney, TX?
Heat pump repair costs vary depending on what's wrong. Simple fixes like a failed capacitor are quick and affordable. More involved repairs — refrigerant leak recharge, reversing valve replacement, or electrical fault diagnosis — take more time and parts. The age of your system, the refrigerant type it uses, and whether the problem has caused secondary damage all factor in.
