Why is my heat pump blowing air but not cooling or heating?

This often happens when the refrigerant is low, the reversing valve fails, or the airflow is blocked. In Tampa’s humid climate, clogged filters and dirty coils are common causes that reduce performance. A professional repair includes checking refrigerant levels, inspecting valves, and cleaning or replacing components to restore full operation.

How do I know if I should repair or replace my heat pump?

Repairs are usually the right choice if the system is under 10 years old and the issue is minor. If the heat pump is older, frequently breaks down, or faces costly repairs such as compressor replacement, replacement may be more cost-effective. A licensed technician can evaluate system age, repair history, and energy efficiency before making a recommendation.

Can power surges or storms damage a heat pump in Tampa?

Yes, Florida’s frequent storms and lightning strikes can damage electrical components inside a heat pump. Surge protectors and routine inspections help prevent breakdowns caused by power fluctuations. If your system stops working after a storm, professional repair is essential before restarting it.

How often should I schedule heat pump maintenance after a repair?

Even after a successful repair, ongoing maintenance is critical to prevent future problems. In Tampa’s climate, experts recommend two seasonal tune-ups per year: one in spring before cooling season and one in fall before heating season. This helps keep refrigerant levels, airflow, and electrical systems in peak condition.

What causes a heat pump to freeze up in Tampa’s climate?

Even in Florida, heat pumps can freeze when airflow is restricted or refrigerant levels are low. Dirty coils, clogged filters, or malfunctioning defrost controls are the most common culprits. A technician can safely thaw the unit, correct the problem, and prevent further damage.

Will repairing my heat pump improve indoor air quality?

Yes, in many cases. Repairs that restore airflow, fix leaks, and clean coils help reduce dust, moisture, and contaminants circulating in the home. Pairing repairs with duct services or indoor air quality upgrades can further improve the comfort and health of your living space.

The Comfort Authority has always sent honest technicians. Glenn and Alyssa were professional and friendly. They both explained the process and physically showed us what was going on with our air conditioning units. They offer products, but aren’t pushy, just informative.

I had a great plumbing inspection and scheduled our tech (I forget his name, but he was awesome) to come out and change out a fitting and pipe to our water heater. He was super punctual, respectful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend comfort authority for AC and plumbing!!

We've been using The Comfort Authority since we moved to Florida 4 years ago and really enjoy working with them. They are honest, fair, and make every effort to help assess what's best for the HVAC unit. Today we had our annual maintenance and our tech Tison was amazing! I really liked his approach, he explained things to me in a way that made sense and was really thorough in servicing our unit.

We had a great experience with their plumbing team. So we decided to give the AC team a try. Are we glad we did! We were given truly exceptional service. Chase the tech, not only explained everything that was needed to be done in detail, documenting everything with appropriate pictures. His workmanship is as great as exceptional implies. In addition , he has a great personality so working with him was a pleasure. Not to short change the boss, he also understands what customer service means. All around a great find for us! We signed a service contract with them on the spot. Hopefully we will only have to see them for maintenance, but if it is more we will be happy to work with them!!

I’ve been a customer for approximately six years and I’ve never been disappointed, nor do I expect to be disappointed. I’m pretty regular with my maintenance for HVAC and each time a representative comes out to inspect and/or service my unit, I experience professionalism, patience in answering all of my questions & thoroughness in educating me about the system and how it should be working.

For this particular review, I had my annual HVAC and plumbing inspection and maintenance.

I had Chase for my HVAC and James for plumbing. Both of them provided what I believe to be a thorough inspection and maintenance, which included a review of my past history, pictures to show me what requires attention and for record of services provided; we discussed several options to resolve my issues, and they cleaned up behind themselves.

I appreciated their consideration in applying shoe protection in my home. Both individuals were pleasant to work with. I recommend The Comfort Authority.
