A clear, step-by-step approach to every heat pump repair project we take on.
KIC Refrigeration begins every heat pump repair in Auburn, NH 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.
At your Auburn property, our technician connects digital manifold gauges and measures suction pressure, discharge pressure, liquid line temperature, and suction line temperature. We calculate superheat and subcooling to determine if the charge is correct or if there is a restriction in the metering device or a refrigerant leak.
We replace the failed component — compressor, reversing valve, defrost board, contactor, capacitor, or metering device — using OEM or equivalent parts rated for your system tonnage and refrigerant type.
KIC Refrigeration does not consider your Auburn, NH 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.
