Bo was absolutely wonderful in discussing everything with us for our tankless water heater. The crew that worked to take out of tank water heater, and install the tankless was heater were great as well. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Hats Off Heating and Air Conditioning. We actually hired them to be our AC/Heat guys for all tuneups in the future even though we did like our previous company, Hats Off was just so personable, and it's nice to have the same company for everything. Thank you Bo, and Team for a great job, and a seamless experience.Posted on GoogleMargaret GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I called Hats Off because they had great reviews and are family-owned. I had a clogged drain line from heat pump that needed to be resolved because the water pan overflowed and leaked through my ceiling. The technician, Evan, was very kind and walked me through everything he was doing including taking before/after pictures. He recognized the issue, cleaned out the line, and also recommended a safety switch to prevent the heat pump from continuing to run if the line gets clogged again. He was able to install the switch during the same visit. I appreciate their integrity and transformation. I was not left guessing about what was going on or what I was paying for. Thank you to Evan and Hats Off.Posted on GoogleJaclyn MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Very professional and thorough. They take pictures and share them and provide all the details of the inspection done on the unit. Great company!!
Common Heat Pump Problems
Heat pumps in Virginia Beach, VA, face unique challenges. The salt air and high humidity off the coast can accelerate wear on components, corrode electrical connections, and clog drainage systems more quickly than in drier climates. When you add the fact that our heat pumps run almost year-round, given the mild winters and long summers, it makes sense that problems occur more often here than in other parts of the country.
Some of the most common issues we see include refrigerant leaks, faulty reversing valves, dirty or frozen coils, failing capacitors, and thermostat malfunctions. A refrigerant leak will make your system struggle to heat or cool your home efficiently and can lead to more serious damage if left unchecked. A bad reversing valve can cause your heat pump to get stuck in one mode and stop switching between heating and cooling.
Frozen coils are another problem we run into regularly, especially when humidity is high and airflow is restricted. Electrical issues, such as worn contactors or failed capacitors, can cause the system to stop starting up entirely. Whatever the problem, our team can accurately diagnose it and get your system back on track.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my heat pump needs repair or replacement?
If your heat pump is under 10 to 12 years old and the repair cost is reasonable, fixing it usually makes more sense. Our technicians can provide an honest assessment so you can make the best decision for your budget.
Why is my heat pump blowing cold air in heat mode?
This is often caused by a faulty reversing valve or by low refrigerant levels. It could also be the system going through a defrost cycle, which is normal. If it happens consistently, it is worth having a tech take a look.
How does Virginia Beach's humidity affect my heat pump?
High humidity puts extra strain on your heat pump because it has to remove more moisture from the air. This can lead to frozen coils, drainage issues, and the system working harder than it should. Regular maintenance helps keep things running smoothly in our climate.
How long does a heat pump repair usually take?
Most repairs are completed in a single visit. The time can vary depending on the issue, but our techs come prepared with common parts to get you taken care of as quickly as possible.
Does Hats Off Heating & Cooling offer emergency heat pump repair in Virginia Beach, VA?
Yes. We offer emergency heating and cooling services so you are not stuck without a working system when you need it most.
