Why Is My Heat Pump Running But Not Cooling Properly?

Your heat pump is running but not cooling because of a system fault or restricted airflow. Common causes include low refrigerant, a stuck reversing valve, frozen coils/defrost issues, clogged filters or ducts, thermostat or wiring faults, or outdoor sensor/compressor problems. We perform whole-system diagnostics to find the real issue, not just the symptom, and offer same-day repairs in Denver and nearby cities.

Quick checks:

  • Set thermostat to COOL and lower the setpoint.
  • Replace a dirty air filter.
  • Clear debris/ice from the outdoor unit.
