Our proven process ensures your heat pump repair project is done right the first time.
Our Green Oak technician evaluates your heat pump by running it through a complete heating cycle and cooling cycle. We verify reversing valve solenoid operation, check defrost board timing, and measure output temperatures to determine if the system is switching modes correctly.
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.
KIC Refrigeration repairs your Green Oak, MI heat pump with precision. For sealed-system work, we recover refrigerant with a certified recovery machine, braze with nitrogen flowing to prevent scale, pressure test with dry nitrogen to 300 PSI, evacuate to below 500 microns, and weigh in the exact factory charge.
Our Green Oak crew verifies the repair by running the system in both modes. We confirm superheat and subcooling are within 2 degrees of target, the defrost cycle initiates and terminates properly, and the temperature split across the air handler is 15 to 20 degrees in cooling and 20 to 30 degrees in heating.
Everything you need to know before scheduling heat pump repair for your property.
Heat pump repair in Green Oak 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 Green Oak property, so you know exactly what the repair will cost.
KIC Refrigeration repairs every major heat pump brand installed in Green Oak homes and businesses — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Daikin, York, Bryant, Amana, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, and LG. Our NATE-certified technicians are trained on both conventional ducted split systems and ductless mini-split heat pumps across all tonnage ratings from 1.5 to 5 tons. We work with every common refrigerant including R-410A, R-22, R-32, and R-454B.

Heat pump icing is caused by conditions that prevent the defrost cycle from working correctly. The most common culprits are low refrigerant charge from a slow leak, a dirty or blocked outdoor coil that restricts airflow, a failed defrost control board or timer that does not initiate the defrost sequence, a stuck defrost relay, or a malfunctioning outdoor fan motor. In normal operation, the defrost cycle activates every 30 to 90 minutes during cold weather, reversing the system briefly to melt accumulated frost. When any component in this chain fails, ice builds up until the unit shuts down on high-pressure safety. KIC Refrigeration tests the complete defrost circuit and refrigerant charge at your Green Oak, MI home to identify and fix the root cause.
