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 Solon, OH 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 Solon 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 Solon 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.

Yes. KIC Refrigeration provides 24/7 emergency heat pump repair in Solon and surrounding Ohio communities every day of the year including holidays. A failed heat pump in freezing weather is a genuine emergency — indoor temperatures can drop below 40 degrees within hours, putting water pipes at risk of freezing and bursting.

Call our Solon emergency line any time and we will have a technician on the way to your property as quickly as possible.
Most heat pump repairs in Solon 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 Solon home with a fully stocked truck to minimize return trips and keep your downtime as short as possible.

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. KIC Refrigeration handles all warranty documentation and claims on your behalf so you never have to chase paperwork. Ask your technician about specific warranty terms during your service appointment.
