Should I Repair or Replace My Heat Pump

Today’s heat pumps can last as long as 20 years, however, you may begin noticing signs of its decline sooner.  When deciding whether or not to repair your heat pump, or replace it with a new unit, the following are some things to consider.

Have you performed routine maintenance to the system?  Well maintained heat pumps can perform as much as 25% better than a system that has been neglected.  Regular maintenance will not only improve the performance, but also significantly increases the life by reducing excessive wear and tear.

What is the age of your heat pump? Always check to see what the age wand warranty are on your heat pump.  Heat pumps less than 10 years old can typically be repaired for a relatively low cost. If your heat pump is 10+ years old and has been causing numerous problems, you may want to switch over to a new more efficient unit.  It may cost more up front, but will end up saving you money on wasted energy in the long run.

Regardless of its age, if your pump is not properly heating/cooling your home, especially after a few repairs have been done, it may be time to consider a new unit.  We always recommend having your system professionally diagnosed, which will give you a better understanding of what is going on with your system and what it will take for it to function at full capacity.  Repairs are always the first choice, but if your heat pump continues to fail and drain your wallet, it may be time to consider a new unit.
