A clear, step-by-step approach to every heat pump repair project we take on.
We test your heat pump in both heating and cooling modes, checking the reversing valve operation, defrost cycle initiation, and auxiliary heat engagement to isolate which mode and component is failing.
At your Marietta property, our technician connects digital manifold gauges and measures suction pressure, discharge pressure, liquid line temperature, and suction line temperature. We calculate superheat and subcooling to determine if the charge is correct or if there is a restriction in the metering device or a refrigerant leak.
KIC Refrigeration repairs your Marietta, GA 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.
We run the heat pump through complete heating and cooling cycles, verify pressures match the manufacturer chart, confirm the defrost cycle activates correctly, and check the temperature differential across the coil meets specification.
Common questions about heat pump repair costs, timelines, and what to expect.
Heat pump repair in Marietta 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 Marietta property, so you know exactly what the repair will cost.

Yes. KIC Refrigeration provides 24/7 emergency heat pump repair in Marietta and surrounding Georgia communities every day of the year including holidays.

Call our Marietta emergency line any time and we will have a technician on the way to your property as quickly as possible.
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 Marietta, GA home to identify and fix the root cause.
