Heat pump repair in Selmer, TN
A heat pump both cools and heats, so a fault can show up in July or January. Common complaints are a unit that is not heating, not cooling, stuck in defrost or running on auxiliary heat. Independent local providers can diagnose residential heat pumps in the Selmer area.
Light frost on the outdoor coil is normal when temperatures drop below 32°F, and a defrost cycle typically lasts 5–15 minutes. A unit that stays stuck in defrost or becomes covered in ice should be checked by a professional (DOE/CEE air-source heat pump guide).
The Department of Energy lists poor airflow, leaky ducts, incorrect refrigerant charge and miswired auxiliary heat strips as common heat pump issues (DOE: Air-Source Heat Pumps). Frequent use of auxiliary (strip) heat is costly, so it is a reason to have the system checked (DOE/CEE air-source heat pump guide).
HomeAdvisor lists a faulty defrost timer or reversing valve among the causes of a unit that will not defrost, and a thermostat problem, clogged filter, refrigerant leak, blocked outdoor unit or leaky ducts among the causes of a heat pump that is not heating or cooling (HomeAdvisor).
Heat pump not heating
When it is cold, a heat pump that blows lukewarm air may still be working, but one that cannot keep the house warm, runs on auxiliary heat most of the time or stays iced over needs a diagnosis. In Selmer, January lows average 29.5°F.
Check that the thermostat is set to heat, the filter is clean and the outdoor unit is not blocked by leaves or snow. Normal defrost cycles last 5–15 minutes; anything longer, or a unit encased in ice, should be checked (DOE/CEE air-source heat pump guide).
Heat pump not cooling
In summer a heat pump works as an air conditioner, so the causes overlap with AC problems: a dirty filter, a refrigerant leak, a blocked outdoor unit, leaky ducts or a thermostat problem. A reversing valve fault can also leave it stuck in one mode.
Sources for these causes include HomeAdvisor and the Department of Energy (HomeAdvisor; DOE: Air-Source Heat Pumps).

Homeowner tips before you hire
Before you sign anything, check the provider’s license and insurance, ask for a written quote and know where to turn if something goes wrong. Tennessee sets a state license threshold for HVAC work, and the Attorney General handles consumer complaints.
Licensing. In Tennessee a state contractor license is required to bid or contract HVAC projects of $25,000 or more, including materials, equipment and labor; the HVAC classification is CMC-C (TN Board for Licensing Contractors; TN classification outline). Below $25,000, HVAC work is regulated locally: some jurisdictions issue their own mechanical license, and where the State Fire Marshal inspects, an LLE or CMC-C license is needed for permits (TN Commerce: HVAC projects under $25,000).
Complaints. Contact the business first. If that does not resolve it, the TN Attorney General, Division of Consumer Affairs can be reached at 615-741-4737, or 800-342-8385 from inside Tennessee.
Maintenance. ENERGY STAR recommends checking filters monthly and a pre-season check-up each year: cooling in spring, heating in fall (ENERGY STAR maintenance checklist).
