From initial contact to final verification — here is how we handle heat pump repair.
KIC Refrigeration begins every heat pump repair in Evanston, WY with a dual-mode performance test. We measure supply air temperatures in heat and cool, verify the reversing valve energizes and de-energizes properly, and test the defrost control board to confirm it initiates defrost cycles at the correct intervals.
We connect manifold gauges to check suction and discharge pressures, calculate superheat and subcooling, and compare readings to the manufacturer charge chart. Incorrect pressures reveal leaks, restrictions, or compressor issues.
Our Evanston technician installs the replacement part with proper brazing techniques for sealed-system components, recovers refrigerant before opening the circuit, pulls a 500-micron vacuum on reassembly, and recharges to the manufacturer-specified weight.
KIC Refrigeration does not consider your Evanston, WY heat pump repair complete until every performance metric checks out. We verify pressures, temperatures, amperage draws, defrost timing, reversing valve switching, and thermostat communication before signing off on the work.

Most heat pump repairs in Evanston are completed in 1 to 3 hours during a single service visit. Common electrical component failures — capacitors, contactors, defrost relays, and flame sensors — typically take 30 to 60 minutes. Fan motor replacements take 1 to 2 hours. Reversing valve and compressor replacements are the most time-intensive repairs at 4 to 6 hours because they require refrigerant recovery with a certified machine, component removal, brazing with nitrogen purge, leak testing, evacuation to below 500 microns, and recharging by weight. KIC Refrigeration arrives at your Evanston home with a fully stocked truck to minimize return trips and keep your downtime as short as possible.
