Styles & brands we work with
Heat Pump Repair in Orlando
Heat pump repair in Orlando is the heating fix we handle most, because most homes here don’t have a separate furnace at all, they heat with a heat pump that doubles as the air conditioner. Orlando’s humid subtropical climate means heat pumps run nearly year-round, and afternoon thunderstorms from June to September beat on them hard. A typical heat pump repair in Orlando ranges from $150 to $700, depending on whether you’re looking at a capacitor, a contactor, a defrost control board, or a refrigerant issue.
When humidity climbs and the heat pump starts short-cycling or blowing lukewarm air, it’s usually one of a few things we can pinpoint fast. But don’t guess. A wrong guess gets expensive.
Compressor and electrical failures
Lightning doesn’t have to hit the unit directly. A nearby strike induces a voltage spike that welds contactor points or pops a capacitor, leaving you with a dead condenser right when storms roll through. We test the compressor windings with a megohm meter before restarting anything that’s been through a surge or flood. Skipping that test is how a $400 repair becomes a $4,500 replacement.
Defrost and reversing valve issues
When temperatures dip into the 40s, your heat pump needs to defrost the outdoor coil periodically. If the defrost board or sensor fails, ice builds up and the system struggles to move heat into the house. We see this most in older single-stage heat pumps in neighborhoods like Azalea Park and Conway, where units have been running since the early 2000s.
Heating Repair in Orlando
Heating repair in Orlando covers everything from electric heat strips to gas furnaces in the rare home that has one, and our typical range is $150 to $700. Central Florida homes don’t demand a lot from heating systems, but when a cold snap hits, every unit gets tested at once. Components that sat idle for ten months suddenly fail, and you find out in the worst way: at midnight, when the temperature drops to 35.
We service gas furnaces and electric heat systems in Orlando’s 1970s through 2000s tract housing, where attic-mounted air handlers and aging flex duct are the norm. Here’s what we see most.
Ignitor and gas valve failures
Gas furnaces in Orlando run so rarely that ignitors crack from thermal cycling or simply wear out. If the furnace clicks but won’t light, it’s usually the ignitor. If it lights then immediately shuts off, the gas valve or flame sensor is typically the culprit. Either way, parts are common and we carry them on the truck for most Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Goodman units.
Blower motor and control board problems
Power blinks from feeder-line faults create low-voltage brownouts that overheat blower motors and cause locked-rotor trips on aging systems. Orlando’s frequent afternoon storms mean these blinks happen constantly. If your system hums but won’t move air, or the blower runs constantly, call before the motor burns itself out completely.
Trusted Brands We Service in Orlando
Our techs are certified on Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Goodman equipment, which covers most of what you’ll find in Orlando homes. Because we dispatch locally from our Orlando office, we stock common parts for these brands on the van, so a capacitor or ignitor swap usually happens the same visit. No ordering and waiting a week. For Orlando’s 1970s and 80s tract homes with original split systems, we know which parts are still available and which older condensers are worth repairing versus replacing. If you’re in Baldwin Park or College Park with a Trane that’s been chugging along for 18 years, we’ll tell you the truth about what it needs.

AfterCommon Furnace Repair Problems We See in Orlando Homes
- Flooded condensers after torrential rain. Ankle-deep water around an outdoor heat pump means water intrusion at the electrical compartment. If you reset the breaker and power it up wet, you risk grounding the compressor. We dry, test, and verify before restart.
- Lightning-induced capacitor and contactor failures. A nearby strike doesn’t need a direct hit. Voltage spikes weld contactor points and pop capacitors all over Orlando when afternoon storms roll through from June to September.
- Brownout damage from power blinks. Feeder-line faults and storm-related voltage drops overheat blower motors and cause locked-rotor trips, especially on older single-stage heat pumps in neighborhoods like Azalea Park and Conway.
- Mold and moisture in ductwork. High dew points and humid attic spaces degrade flex duct and breed mold in closed-up systems. If your heat smells musty when it fires up, that’s usually the cause.
Pricing for Furnace Repair in Orlando, FL

| Service | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Furnace Repair | $150 – $700 |
| Heat Pump Repair | $150 – $700 |
A capacitor or ignitor swap lands at the lower end. A blower motor, gas valve, or defrost board pushes toward the higher end. The written quote you get before work starts is the price you pay. Every repair includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise and a free second visit if it fails. Call (850) 695-3178 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
If you’re weighing repair versus replacement, a good rule of thumb: when the repair cost exceeds half the value of a new system and your unit is over 12 years old, replacement starts making more sense. We’ll walk you through the numbers honestly.
If your system is beyond saving, our Furnace Repair team will tell you straight, and we’ll lay out an AC installation quote so you can compare the real cost of fixing versus replacing. No pressure either way.

FAQs About Furnace Repair in Orlando
No. Even after the water drains, the compressor terminals and electrical compartment can hold moisture. Powering it up wet can send a surge through wet windings and burn out the compressor, turning a $150 service call into a $4,500 replacement. Kill the breaker, let us dry and test the unit, and we’ll restart it only when it’s safe. Call (850) 695-3178 and we’ll walk you through it.
In most cases, a lightning-induced voltage spike has welded the contactor points or damaged the capacitor, creating a short or an overdraw that trips the breaker. Sometimes a flooded electrical compartment causes a ground fault. We test the compressor windings and replace the damaged component, and the tripping stops. If your breaker keeps tripping, don’t keep resetting it. Call (850) 695-3178.
A whole-home surge protector at the main panel is the best first line of defense, because it catches voltage spikes before they reach the HVAC circuit. For extra protection on the outdoor unit, a dedicated HVAC surge protector installed at the disconnect box handles spikes from nearby strikes. Both are inexpensive compared to a compressor replacement. We can add these during any repair visit.
Only with a properly sized inverter generator and the right transfer switch. Portable generators produce dirty power that can damage the control board and compressor in sensitive modern heat pumps. If you’re planning to run HVAC during outages, talk to an electrician about a whole-home generator or a generator interlock kit sized for the system’s locked-rotor amps, not just running watts. In the meantime, a portable generator is fine for lights and a refrigerator.
Turn the system off at the thermostat, then kill the breaker to the outdoor unit. A nearby strike can damage a capacitor or contactor without showing symptoms immediately, and running the system on damaged parts can cook the compressor. We’ll come out, test the components, and check the refrigerant charge before restart. Call (850) 695-3178, estimates are free.
After a lightning strike took out a Bryant heat pump in Conway, our tech found a blown capacitor and a pitted contactor, but the real risk wasn’t visible: the breaker had tripped mid-surge. We killed power, megged the compressor, dried the control board, then replaced the capacitor and verified the refrigerant charge before restarting. No fried compressor, no callback. That’s the difference between a quick look and a real test.
In Orlando, a flooded condenser after a summer thunderstorm can hold water in the compressor terminals. Simply resetting the breaker can send a surge through wet windings and burn out a compressor that a quick megohm test would have saved. We see this every storm season, and it’s why we never power up a wet or surge-hit unit without testing it first.
