Heat Pump Repair in South Jersey, NJ
Your Trusted Local HVAC Contractors
Heat pump stopped heating your home in Cherry Hill — or not cooling in Voorhees on the hottest day of August? D’Auria & Son diagnoses and repairs all heat pump makes and models across Camden County and Gloucester County, NJ, with same-day response on most calls. Heat pumps in South Jersey work year-round — handling both the humid summers and below-freezing January nights — which means they accumulate wear faster than single-season systems, and need a technician who understands both modes. Whether your system is short-cycling, blowing cold air in heat mode, or making a grinding noise, we identify the cause on the first visit and give you upfront pricing before any work begins.

Heat Pump Repair
The most common heat pump problems in Camden and Gloucester County homes include refrigerant leaks, a failed reversing valve, frozen outdoor coils, and short-cycling caused by oversized systems — all of which are fully repairable on a first visit in most cases. South Jersey’s combination of high summer humidity and cold winter lows (Camden County averages 10–15 days per year below freezing) stresses heat pumps differently than drier or milder climates: the outdoor coil defrost cycle runs more often in winter, and refrigerant pressures run high during humid July and August afternoons. The result is that components like the reversing valve, capacitor, and contactor wear faster here than manufacturers’ average-use assumptions. Most repairs we perform across Cherry Hill, Haddon Township, Washington Township, and Deptford Township fall into four categories:
- Refrigerant leak: Hissing sound, ice on the lines, system blows warm air in cooling mode — requires leak location, repair, and EPA-certified recharge
- Reversing valve failure: System heats only or cools only but won’t switch modes — valve replacement is typically completed same day
- Frozen outdoor coil: Airflow restriction or low refrigerant causes the coil to ice over and shut the unit down — do not chip the ice; call for diagnosis first
- Short cycling: System turns on and off every few minutes — causes range from dirty filter to refrigerant imbalance to a failing compressor, each requiring a different fix
Heat Pump Repair
The right answer depends on your system’s age, refrigerant type, and the repair cost relative to replacement value. A well-maintained heat pump typically lasts 12–15 years according to the U.S. Department of Energy — if your system is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than 50% of a new system, repair is almost always the better financial decision. Two factors that accelerate the math toward replacement in New Jersey right now: first, systems still running on R-22 refrigerant (phased out federally since 2020) face increasing recharge costs as supply shrinks — a single R-22 recharge can now cost $600–$1,000+ in the South Jersey market. Second, the NJ Clean Energy Whole Home Program currently offers up to $7,500 in rebates on qualifying replacement systems, and PSE&G customers can stack an additional $900 instant rebate at the point of installation (ACE customers in parts of Camden and Gloucester Counties may qualify for up to $1,300). Note: the federal Section 25C tax credit expired December 31, 2025 and provides $0 in 2026 — the state and utility rebates are now the primary incentive. We can assess your current system and tell you whether repair or replacement makes financial sense before any work begins, at no cost.
| System age | Refrigerant | Repair cost vs. replacement | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 10 years | R-410A or R-32 | Under 50% | Repair |
| 10–15 years | R-410A or R-32 | Over 50% | Evaluate; often replace |
| Any age | R-22 | Any significant repair | Replace — R-22 recharge costs make repair uneconomical |
| Over 15 years | Any | Any | Replace — at end of rated lifespan |

FAQ
How much does heat pump repair cost in South Jersey?
Most heat pump repairs in Camden County and Gloucester County range from $150–$600 depending on the issue — a capacitor or contactor replacement typically runs $150–$300, while a reversing valve replacement or refrigerant recharge with leak repair is closer to $400–$600. If your system uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out in 2020), recharge costs are higher due to limited supply. We provide a written quote before any work begins so there are no surprises.
Can a heat pump be repaired in winter, or do I need to wait for warmer weather?
Heat pump repairs are performed year-round and do not require warm weather — in fact, a system failing in January is exactly when prompt repair matters most. South Jersey winters average 10–15 below-freezing days per year, and heat pumps in Camden and Gloucester Counties are often the primary heating source. We prioritize emergency heating calls in winter months.
What are the signs my heat pump needs repair vs. replacement?
Signs that favor repair: the system is under 10 years old, it’s making a specific identifiable noise or failing in one mode only, and the repair cost is under half of replacement cost. Signs that favor replacement: the system is over 15 years old, it uses R-22 refrigerant, it’s requiring multiple repairs per year, or your energy bills have risen sharply. In 2026, NJ Clean Energy rebates of up to $7,500 plus utility rebates make replacement more financially competitive than in previous years — we can walk you through both options at no cost.
Does D'Auria & Son repair ductless mini-split heat pumps?
Yes — we repair ductless mini-split heat pump systems from all major brands including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG, and Samsung across South Jersey.
