Heat wave shutdowns
Capacitors, contactors and fan motors fail when outdoor units bake in afternoon sun.
When the heat pump fails in a Surrey home, two households can be left uncomfortable. Able Pro tests, explains and repairs the problem so both floors are comfortable again.
No heat, no hot water or a gas smell? Call any time, day or night.
In a typical Surrey house with a basement suite, a heat pump failure is not just your problem. Your tenants or family members downstairs feel it too, and they often notice first. Heat pump repair in Surrey frequently involves understanding how one system serves two spaces, or how two separate systems interact on the same electrical service.
Summer heat waves are another big source of calls. Outdoor units in sunny Surrey backyards work flat out for days, and weak capacitors, dirty coils and failing fan motors give up at the worst moment. Whatever the season, we start with testing, explain the problem in plain language and give you a written quote before repairs begin.
Busy homes and hot summers produce a familiar list.
Capacitors, contactors and fan motors fail when outdoor units bake in afternoon sun.
A failing compressor or shorted wire trips the breaker, and resetting it again is unsafe.
Shared ducts, failed dampers or a dying mini-split leave the suite out of step with upstairs.
Two thermostats on one system, or a replaced thermostat set up wrong, cause odd behaviour.
Low refrigerant or a restricted coil leaves the house warm even with the system running.
A clogged drain on an air handler or ductless head can drip into living space below.
We repair heat pumps in Fleetwood, Guildford, Newton, Cloverdale, Sullivan, Panorama Ridge, Fraser Heights and South Surrey. Newer homes in Cloverdale and Sullivan often have two systems, while older homes in Guildford and Newton commonly share one between floors.
In South Surrey and Panorama Ridge, bigger homes with large glass areas put extra strain on cooling in summer, which shows up as heat wave breakdowns.

Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
No. Reset it once at most. A breaker that trips again is protecting against a real electrical fault, such as a failing compressor, a shorted fan motor or damaged wiring. Leave it off and call us.
Heat rises, and many shared systems deliver too little air to the basement. Dirty filters, closed dampers or leaky ducts make it worse. We repair what we find and can suggest a separate zone if the layout is the real issue.
Yes. Many Surrey owners arrange tenant access. We will explain the findings to you directly and wait for your approval before doing any repair.
Extreme heat stresses electrical parts and the compressor. Weak capacitors and contactors often fail first, along with fan motors. These are usually repairable, and we can check the rest of the system while we are there.
