From initial contact to final verification — here is how we handle heat pump repair.
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.
KIC Refrigeration performs a complete refrigerant circuit analysis on your Maynard, MA heat pump. We measure high-side and low-side pressures against the manufacturer target chart for current outdoor ambient temperature, calculate subcooling at the condenser and superheat at the evaporator, and use electronic leak detectors to locate any refrigerant loss.
Our Maynard 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.
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.

Heat pump repair in Maynard 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 Maynard property, so you know exactly what the repair will cost.
KIC Refrigeration provides a comprehensive workmanship warranty on all heat pump repairs performed in Maynard, MA.

If a part we install fails within the warranty period, we replace it at no charge for the part and provide the labor to install it.
