Why Is My Heat Pump Running But Not Cooling Properly?

Your heat pump can run without cooling due to a dirty filter, a blocked outdoor coil, incorrect thermostat mode, low refrigerant, or a failing part. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling offers heat-pump diagnostic, repair, and replacement, plus 24/7 emergency service and maintenance plans with priority response.

Quick checks:

  • Set thermostat to Cool and Fan Auto.
  • Replace or clean the air filter.
  • Clear debris from the outdoor unit.
  • Check breaker and outdoor disconnect.
  • If frost/ice is present, turn system off and call for service.
