Heat Pump Repair in Tampa, FL
Most Tampa Bay homes run heat pumps year-round — not furnaces. Protek specializes in heat pump repair, tune-ups, and installation. Same-day service, upfront pricing.
Tampa Homes Run Heat Pumps, Not Furnaces
Because Tampa rarely gets below 40°F, most homes use heat pumps as their year-round heating AND cooling system — which means they run constantly and need a tech who actually understands how they work, not just AC-only specialists. A heat pump has components and failure modes that don't exist in standard air conditioners. Misdiagnosis is common and expensive.

Heat Pump Repairs We Specialize In
Reversing Valve Replacement
The valve that switches your system between heating and cooling. When it fails, your heat pump gets stuck in one mode.
Refrigerant Recharge
Low refrigerant means poor heating and cooling performance. We find the leak and fix it before recharging.
Compressor Repair
The heart of your heat pump. We diagnose compressor issues accurately before recommending replacement.
Defrost Board Repair
Tampa heat pumps can ice up in cooler months. Defrost board failure means your system won't recover.
Capacitor & Contactor
Electrical components that fail with age and heat. Fast swap, usually same-day.
Full System Replacement
When repair doesn't make sense, we install right-sized heat pump systems from Carrier and other top brands.
