Heat Pump Service & Repair in Central Arkansas | All Seasons Covered
Arkansas' unpredictable weather—from 60° December days to 15° ice storms—demands a heat pump that can handle it all. At Jet Heat & Air, we specialize in diagnosing, repairing, and optimizing heat pump systems, including dual-fuel hybrid setups that switch to gas when temps drop below 30°.
Our NATE-certified technicians understand the unique challenges of Central Arkansas climate swings. We test your reversing valve operation, optimize your defrost cycles, and ensure your system delivers efficient heating in winter and cooling in summer. Every repair includes a 30-day labor warranty.
Signs You Need Heat Pump Service
Blowing Cold Air in Winter
Heat pumps naturally blow 'cooler' air than furnaces, but if it feels downright cold, your reversing valve or refrigerant charge may be off.
Constant Defrost Cycling
Your outdoor unit is icing up every 20 minutes, preventing effective heating and wasting energy.
Aux Heat Always Running
If your emergency heat strips run constantly, your heat pump isn't working—and your Entergy bill is skyrocketing.
Strange Hissing or Whooshing
A loud 'whoosh' when switching modes usually means a failing reversing valve.
Short Cycling
The system turns on and off every few minutes without reaching your set temperature.
Poor Airflow
Weak air from your vents indicates a blower motor issue or severely clogged filter.
Common Problems We Fix
Reversing Valve Failures
This critical component switches your system between heating and cooling modes. When it fails, you're stuck in one mode. We carry OEM replacements on our trucks.
Refrigerant Leaks & Low Charge
Heat pumps need precise refrigerant levels for both heating and cooling. We use electronic leak detection to find even pinhole leaks, seal them, and recharge to spec.
Defrost Control Board Issues
Arkansas ice storms confuse defrost sensors. We replace faulty boards and recalibrate your system for local weather patterns.
Stuck Contactors & Relays
Electrical components wear out from constant mode switching. We test and replace contactors to prevent mid-winter failures.
Frozen Outdoor Coils
Ice buildup prevents heat absorption. We diagnose airflow restrictions, low refrigerant, or defrost cycle failures causing the freeze-up.

Our Heat Pump Service Process
Comprehensive System Diagnostic
We test your reversing valve, defrost cycle operation, refrigerant pressures, and electrical components in both heating and cooling modes.
Airflow & Heat Transfer Analysis
We measure your temperature differential, inspect coils for dirt/ice, and verify your blower motor is delivering proper CFM.
Precision Repair or Optimization
Whether it's a reversing valve swap, refrigerant leak repair, or defrost board replacement, we fix it right the first time.
Performance Verification
We don't just 'get it working'—we verify your heat pump is meeting manufacturer efficiency specs before we leave.
The Arkansas Heat Pump Specialists
Most HVAC companies treat heat pumps like glorified air conditioners. We understand the complexities of reversing valves, defrost logic, and dual-fuel integration. Arkansas' climate—mild most of the year but capable of brutal cold snaps—is perfectly suited for heat pump technology when properly configured. We'll optimize your balance point (the temp where your system switches to aux heat) to maximize efficiency and minimize your winter heating bills.
