5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Heat Pump
Your system doesn’t have to stop working completely for you to consider replacing it. There are many signs that a heat pump will need to be replaced soon. Here are five signs that may mean it’s time for a replacement:
1. Constantly Needing Repairs
The occasional call for service is normal, but an Air Flow Designs technician can also help you pick a better, more reliable heat pump. Repair costs can add up fast, and when you no longer need those frequent service visits, what you save in money and time will more than make up for the cost of a new heat pump.
2. Unusual Noises
Mechanical systems are designed to run smoothly, with little friction and minimal internal resistance. If there are constant noises from a heat pump, that’s usually a sign that its components and moving parts are starting to wear down. The noises can be traced to specific components, such as faulty ductwork, loose vents, dirty filters, and worn-out motors.
3. Rising Energy Bills
Heat pumps run for most of the year, so your energy bill should be fairly consistent month to month. If you start noticing a steady rise in your bill without a huge change in appliances in your home, there’s a good chance conditioned air is getting lost somewhere in your home, meaning energy is being wasted.
Since we work with all makes and models, our dedicated and knowledgeable team can find the best energy-efficient option for you within your budget.
4. Inconsistent Temperatures
If there are hot or cold spots throughout your house, there is a serious issue with your HVAC system. A heat pump should keep a constant and consistent temperature in your home. A change of the entire system might be necessary after evaluating the inconsistent temperatures in your home.
5. Aging Equipment
Even with proper and regular maintenance, the best systems may need to be replaced eventually, especially for products made when R-22 was permitted. After all, your heat pump is constantly working.
After 10 to 13 years of service, it’s recommended that the heat pump be replaced entirely. In addition to getting a more reliable system, you’ll likely get a more energy-efficient one.
