Heat pumps, heat strips, and South Florida heating
Almost every Boca Raton home runs a heat pump — your AC unit doubles as your heater. During the few cold snaps each year, the reversing valve switches refrigerant flow so the system pulls heat from outside air and pushes it inside. When outdoor temps drop near freezing, auxiliary electric heat strips kick in.
If you're hearing cold air from your vents on a heat call, the most common culprits are a stuck reversing valve, failed heat strips, a defrost cycle gone wrong, or a wiring/thermostat issue. We diagnose all four routinely.
