Palmhurst heating problems, in the order we check them
Palmhurst was grove country before it was subdivisions, and plenty of backyards still have a grapefruit or orange tree. You know the forecast is serious when the neighbors are out at dusk throwing bedsheets over their citrus. That is also the night the heat pump gets its hardest workout of the year, and the night it is most likely to quit.
Heat that has not run since last winter often has a problem waiting: a dusty return, a strip element that burned through, a capacitor that weakened all summer. A quick check before the cold arrives is the cheapest heating repair Palmhurst families will ever pay for.
When a heat pump is not heating, start with the thermostat. Is it on heat, set above room temperature and configured for a heat pump? If so, the problem is likely in the equipment. Common causes include a stuck reversing valve, a failed defrost control, low refrigerant and a bad outdoor fan motor.
Heat pump repair on most of those takes one or two visits. If the unit is old and the compressor is gone, we show you the replacement math too, and our heating installation crew in Palmhurst can quote it. Learn more about how heat pumps work in the Valley.
Some homes here run a gas furnace, and many use electric strips in the air handler as backup heat. Either way, a heater not working usually traces back to a short list. For strips: a burned element, a sequencer or a tripped limit. For furnace repair: the igniter, flame sensor, inducer motor or pressure switch.
Heater repair on any of those starts with making sure the equipment is safe to run, especially on gas. Our full list of heating services covers the rest of the system.
Airflow matters in winter as much as summer. A clogged return, like the one in the photo at the top of this page, starves the system of air. The heat strips overheat, the limit switch trips and the heat shuts off, again and again. Changing filters on schedule and keeping returns clear prevents a surprising number of no-heat calls.
Members of the Cowboy Kool Club get routine tune-ups and priority scheduling, which puts them at the front of the line when the first real cold front comes through.

Quick answers for Palmhurst homeowners dealing with a cold house.
Most winter nights are mild, but a few fronts each year push temperatures into the 30s, and freezes like February 2021 do happen. A system that sits idle for months benefits from a check before it is needed.
That is the defrost cycle melting frost off the coil, and it is normal for a few minutes. If it happens constantly or the house is not warming, call.
