KIC Refrigeration begins every heat pump repair in Madison, GA with a dual-mode performance test. We measure supply air temperatures in heat and cool, verify the reversing valve energizes and de-energizes properly, and test the defrost control board to confirm it initiates defrost cycles at the correct intervals.
We connect manifold gauges to check suction and discharge pressures, calculate superheat and subcooling, and compare readings to the manufacturer charge chart. Incorrect pressures reveal leaks, restrictions, or compressor issues.
Our Madison technician installs the replacement part with proper brazing techniques for sealed-system components, recovers refrigerant before opening the circuit, pulls a 500-micron vacuum on reassembly, and recharges to the manufacturer-specified weight.
KIC Refrigeration does not consider your Madison, GA heat pump repair complete until every performance metric checks out. We verify pressures, temperatures, amperage draws, defrost timing, reversing valve switching, and thermostat communication before signing off on the work.
Everything you need to know before scheduling heat pump repair for your property.
Heat pump repair in Madison 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 Madison property, so you know exactly what the repair will cost.
KIC Refrigeration repairs every major heat pump brand installed in Madison homes and businesses — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Daikin, York, Bryant, Amana, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, and LG. Our NATE-certified technicians are trained on both conventional ducted split systems and ductless mini-split heat pumps across all tonnage ratings from 1.5 to 5 tons. We work with every common refrigerant including R-410A, R-22, R-32, and R-454B. Whether your system is a 30-year-old R-22 unit or a brand-new variable-speed inverter model, KIC Refrigeration has the diagnostic tools, replacement parts access, and technical knowledge to repair it correctly at your Madison property.
Most heat pump repairs in Madison are completed in 1 to 3 hours during a single service visit. Common electrical component failures — capacitors, contactors, defrost relays, and flame sensors — typically take 30 to 60 minutes. Fan motor replacements take 1 to 2 hours. Reversing valve and compressor replacements are the most time-intensive repairs at 4 to 6 hours because they require refrigerant recovery with a certified machine, component removal, brazing with nitrogen purge, leak testing, evacuation to below 500 microns, and recharging by weight. KIC Refrigeration arrives at your Madison home with a fully stocked truck to minimize return trips and keep your downtime as short as possible.
A heat pump blowing cold air in heating mode is most commonly caused by a failed reversing valve solenoid, which gets stuck and prevents the system from switching from cooling to heating. Other causes include low refrigerant charge that reduces the heat output at the condenser coil, a stuck or failed defrost control board that keeps the outdoor unit in defrost mode too long, or a thermostat that has lost communication with the control board. KIC Refrigeration tests the reversing valve by measuring the temperature difference across it, checks refrigerant pressures with manifold gauges, and verifies the defrost sequence to isolate the exact cause at your Madison property.
