We service both air-source and ductless heat pump systems.
Auxiliary heat strip issues are checked alongside the heat pump itself.
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.

Waiting rarely saves money and often turns a same-day repair into a longer, more involved job.
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 pump failure modes are different enough from standard AC that generic diagnostics often miss the actual cause.
No-heat calls in winter get the same priority as no-cool calls in summer.
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 Amsterdam, NY.
A stuck reversing valve is the single most common reason a heat pump gets stuck in one mode. Techs handling reversing valve diagnosis & repair carry the specific parts and tools this job calls for, not a generic kit.
An outdoor unit that ices over and never defrosts usually points to a failed defrost thermostat or control board timing issue. This is one of the most requested heat pump repair calls we get across Amsterdam, NY.
We test heat strip elements and the relay controlling them separately. This is one of the most requested heat pump repair calls we get across Amsterdam, NY.
Heat pump refrigerant charging follows different specs than standard AC systems, especially across heating and cooling modes. Techs handling refrigerant charge & leak detection carry the specific parts and tools this job calls for, not a generic kit.
Some icing is normal during defrost cycling; persistent icing that never clears points to a genuine fault. Techs handling outdoor unit icing diagnostics carry the specific parts and tools this job calls for, not a generic kit.
Indoor head unit and outdoor condenser are diagnosed as a connected system. Techs handling ductless heat pump system repair carry the specific parts and tools this job calls for, not a generic kit.

That detail determines which specialized tools ride along.
Heat pump-trained technicians arrive with reversing valve and defrost diagnostic equipment already loaded.
Flat-rate pricing follows the confirmed diagnosis.
Most reversing valve and defrost board repairs finish same-visit with parts carried on the truck.

Previous company just topped off refrigerant twice — this tech found the stuck reversing valve in ten minutes.
Outdoor unit was constantly covered in ice and I thought that meant it was broken.
Auxiliary heat strips weren't kicking in during a cold snap and the house couldn't keep up.
Ductless heat pump in the addition threw a code I couldn't find anywhere online.

Often a stuck reversing valve, which controls whether the system is in heating or cooling mode.
If the unit stays iced for more than an hour, that's worth a service call.
Heat pumps have a reversing valve, defrost cycle, and often auxiliary heat strips that standard AC systems don't have.
If auxiliary heat isn't kicking in properly, that's a specific fault we can test for.
These systems have their own fault-code patterns that our techs are trained to read.
