Heat pumps fail differently than standard AC or furnace systems, and diagnosing them requires understanding the reversing valve and defrost board specifically.
A heat pump stuck in one mode, or one that's iced over and won't defrost, gets diagnosed with the right tools for that specific failure mode.
A heat pump that seems to be 'not heating' is often actually a reversing valve or defrost cycle problem, which a technician trained mainly on standard ac systems can easily misdiagnose, which is exactly why heat pump repair calls in Moncks Corner, SC get treated with urgency, not a next-available-Tuesday slot.

System would only blow cold air no matter what mode I selected.
Turned out the defrost thermostat had failed, so it never actually triggered the defrost cycle.
They tested the relay separately from the strips themselves and found the actual fault fast.
Tech recognized it immediately as a defrost-related fault specific to that brand.

Often a stuck reversing valve, which controls whether the system is in heating or cooling mode.
Some frost during a normal defrost cycle is expected; ice that never clears points to a defrost board or thermostat fault.
A technician needs specific training on these components to diagnose heat pump issues accurately.
Heat pumps naturally work harder as outdoor temperatures drop, and auxiliary heat should engage below a certain threshold.
