NOAA storm reports for Johnson County show 20 hail days and 35 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 3.5 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. Johnson County also had 3 tornado days in that period.

Kansas Licensing and Efficiency Rules
Kansas falls in the DOE's North region. New split central air conditioners must meet at least 13.4 SEER2, and heat pumps sold anywhere in the U.S. need 14.3 SEER2 and 7.5 HSPF2. A repair usually goes ahead without a permit, but the tech handling refrigerant must hold EPA 608 certification. Ask the company for its Kansas license or registration number before the visit.
Before You Hire
- Light frost on the outdoor unit in winter is normal. A solid block of ice is not.
- Keep two feet clear around the outdoor unit, including snow.
- Many heat pumps carry a 10-year parts warranty if they were registered. Find out whether yours was.

Heat Pump Repair Questions from Overland Park Homeowners
What does heat pump repair cost in Overland Park?
Most bills land between $220 and $1,060, including the service call. A typical visit is about $680. Night and weekend calls cost more.
Is it normal for a heat pump to freeze?
A thin layer of frost in winter is normal, and the defrost cycle should clear it. Heavy ice that stays usually means a defrost control or airflow problem.
Why is my heat pump blowing cold air?
For a few minutes during a defrost cycle, that's normal. If it keeps going, the usual causes are a stuck reversing valve, low refrigerant or a thermostat set to the wrong mode.
