Heat pump acting up in Canton, MI? When a system stops heating, short cycles, or freezes over, your house gets uncomfortable fast. A-Team Heating & Cooling delivers same-day diagnostics and repairs on all major brands, with upfront pricing and no mystery fees.
Heat pumps are efficient because they move heat instead of making it, but when refrigerant charge is off, the outdoor fan fails, or a sensor drifts out of range, efficiency tanks and bills spike. Our techs carry common parts to solve the most frequent failures in one trip.
You’ll get clear options: repair now, plan a proactive fix, or consider replacement if the numbers make more sense. Either way, you decide. We back our work with parts and labor warranties and we actually pick up the phone after hours.
We don’t throw parts at problems. We pull real readings, compare to manufacturer targets, and recommend fixes that hold up when Canton winter winds are screaming across Ford Road.
If your outdoor unit looks like a snowball at Independence Park, defrost might be mis-timed or airflow is weak. We solve the root cause so ice doesn’t return two days later.
Homes near the Lower Rouge River corridor often see more debris around outdoor units. We clean and re-establish clearances so your system breathes again.
Common Heat Pump Symptoms We Fix
No heat or cold air only, even in heating mode. This often traces to a reversing valve issue, outdoor unit icing, or a thermostat configuration mismatch.
Short cycling or tripping breakers. Restricted airflow, failing capacitors, or a compressor drawing locked-rotor amps can cause nuisance trips.
Outdoor unit a block of ice. Defrost board timing, failed sensors, low airflow, or low refrigerant can all frost the coil. The key is fixing the cause, not just melting ice.
High bills with weak comfort. When charge, airflow, or controls aren’t dialed in, efficiency disappears. We recalibrate to manufacturer spec.
Pro tip: replacing clogged filters and clearing 18–24 inches around the outdoor unit keeps airflow strong and helps prevent nuisance service calls.
If you hear new noises or notice unusual defrost steam clouds, note the time and outdoor temperature. Those clues help us diagnose faster.

Our Step-By-Step Repair Diagnostics
We start with safety and electrical. Measure line voltage, inspect disconnects, check contactor, fuses, and ground. Then we verify thermostat call and system staging.
Airflow matters. We inspect filters, blower speed, static pressure, and coil condition. Wrong airflow causes poor capacity and noisy operation.
Refrigerant circuit testing with subcool/superheat. We compare readings to charging charts for the specific outdoor temperature and model.
Controls and defrost. We test sensors, defrost board functions, outdoor fan, and reversing valve. Data informs repair, not guesswork.
Pro tip: replacing clogged filters and clearing 18–24 inches around the outdoor unit keeps airflow strong and helps prevent nuisance service calls.

Repair vs Replace: Honest Math
If the compressor is healthy and the system is under 10–12 years old, repairs typically win. We benchmark part cost plus labor against expected remaining life.
When a major component fails on an older unit, we price both options. If replacement has a better lifetime cost per year, we say so—with the numbers right on the invoice.
We apply any paid diagnostic toward approved repairs the same day, so you’re not double-billed for doing the smart thing quickly.
Pro tip: replacing clogged filters and clearing 18–24 inches around the outdoor unit keeps airflow strong and helps prevent nuisance service calls.

Proactive Maintenance Prevents Emergencies
Seasonal tune-ups clean coils, confirm charge, update firmware on smart thermostats, and catch failing capacitors before they strand you in a cold snap.
We calibrate airflow to manufacturer spec, which preserves efficiency and keeps defrost cycles smooth. Small adjustments protect compressors.
Members get priority scheduling, discounted repairs, and documented readings you can compare year over year.

Why is my heat pump blowing cool air in heat mode?
Most often, the system is in defrost or the reversing valve isn’t seating. Low refrigerant, dirty coils, or thermostat mis-configurations can also cause cool supply air.
How long do heat pump repairs take?
Simple fixes like capacitors or contactors can be done in under an hour. Refrigerant leaks or defrost control issues may take longer, but most repairs are same-day.
What’s the typical repair cost?
Minor electrical parts are affordable. Major components like a compressor or coil are more. We price transparently before any work and apply the diagnostic fee to approved repairs.
Can you repair any brand?
Yes. We service Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, American Standard, and more. We stock common parts and source OEM quickly when needed.
Is a tune-up really worth it in Michigan winters?
Yes. Proper charge, airflow, and defrost calibration matter more in cold climates. Preventive checks reduce emergency calls and keep comfort stable.
What if the repair isn’t worth it?
We’ll show you the lifetime cost math comparing repair vs. replacement. You decide. If you choose replacement, we credit the diagnostic toward the install.
Do you offer after-hours service?
We answer the phone after hours and offer emergency response for no-heat events, especially during severe weather.
Will a repair affect my warranty?
We follow manufacturer procedures and document readings, so your warranty protections remain intact. Ask us to review your coverage during the visit.
What should I check before calling?
Confirm filter condition, thermostat mode, and breaker positions. If the outdoor unit is iced over, shut it off and call us—don’t chip the ice.
Do you work in condos and townhomes?
Yes. We’re familiar with HOA access rules and rooftop or small yard condenser placements common around Canton.
Do you text before arrival?
Yes. You’ll get a heads-up text with an ETA and a photo of the technician.
Can you work around busy Ford Road traffic?
We schedule intelligently around rush hours and use back roads to reduce delays.
