Heat Pump Repair FAQs
Can a heat pump be repaired?
Yes, in most cases a heat pump can be repaired! Most problems are a relatively easy fix, from clogs within the system to cracked or broken parts. A qualified professional can diagnose the problem and provide recommendations on a cost-effective solution.
Should I repair or replace my heat pump?
That depends on what type of issue you’re dealing with. If your unit generally functions well and just has a one-off issue, then a repair will likely be the easiest and most affordable solution. However, if your heat pump is old and frequently breaking, it may be better to invest in a replacement. A newer unit will not only reduce your need for repairs, but it will also boost your home’s energy efficiency and lower your utility bills.
If you aren’t sure whether a repair or replacement is right for you, call an expert! They can help diagnose the problem and walk you through different repair options that fit your needs and budget.
How long do heat pumps usually last?
Heat pumps typically last around 15 years. However, poorly maintained units may start breaking down after a decade. With the right maintenance, some newer models can last even longer.
What maintenance is required for a heat pump?
If you want to keep your heat pump in great condition, it’s important to spend a little bit of time performing routine maintenance. Thankfully, doing so doesn’t have to take a lot of time or money. To keep your heat pump working properly, follow these maintenance tips:
- Remove ice or snow buildup in the winter
- Trim your landscaping away from the unit
- Make sure gutters aren’t leaking on your outdoor segment
- If you use your heat pump daily, change the filters once a month
- Clean outdoor coils whenever they look dirty
- Set up a routine HVAC maintenance check with a professional
