How our NATE-certified technicians deliver quality heat pump repair results from start to finish.
Our Oyster Bay technician evaluates your heat pump by running it through a complete heating cycle and cooling cycle. We verify reversing valve solenoid operation, check defrost board timing, and measure output temperatures to determine if the system is switching modes correctly.
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.
KIC Refrigeration repairs your Oyster Bay, NY heat pump with precision. For sealed-system work, we recover refrigerant with a certified recovery machine, braze with nitrogen flowing to prevent scale, pressure test with dry nitrogen to 300 PSI, evacuate to below 500 microns, and weigh in the exact factory charge.
Our Oyster Bay crew verifies the repair by running the system in both modes. We confirm superheat and subcooling are within 2 degrees of target, the defrost cycle initiates and terminates properly, and the temperature split across the air handler is 15 to 20 degrees in cooling and 20 to 30 degrees in heating.

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.
