Like most HVAC systems, your heat pump remains reliable for years if you keep up with regular maintenance and repairs. However, over time, you will need a heat pump replacement. Our team can examine your heat pump and tell you whether a repair or replacement is necessary, but there are still some common signs that you can look for yourself.
Signs that you need a new heat pump include:
More frequent repairs
Musty or burning smells
Strange sounds such as screeching, clanging, or rattling
Rising utility bills
Decreased comfort in your home
You may also need a new heat pump if your current unit is over 10 years old. Most heat pumps work reliably for 10 to 15 years, and while proper care and maintenance can help them last longer, they may not work as efficiently as they once did.
Our Heat Pump Installation Process
Our heat pump installation process is relatively easy. First, we decide where to place your outdoor condenser unit. This location must be flat, stable, and not too close to any vegetation. We install a cement pad at this location to keep your condenser away from dirt or standing water.
Once we place the condenser, we install the lines that carry refrigerant from the outdoor unit to your indoor unit. After that, we install the indoor unit and connect it to your home’s electrical system and the coolant lines. We also install a new thermostat if necessary. Finally, we test your new heat pump to ensure everything works properly. Typically, we complete the entire process in less than a day.
Benefits of Heat Pump Systems
Heat pumps offer many benefits, with their versatility being the chief among them. A heat pump functions much like a standard air conditioner during the summer, but has a valve that reverses the flow of refrigerant. When this valve is turned, the heat pump transfers heat from outside to inside your home, providing heat when temperatures fall during the winter.
Heat pumps are also among the most efficient HVAC systems on the market today. Since they transfer heat instead of generating it themselves, they use much less energy than other heating and cooling systems. This will save you money in the long run and have a smaller environmental impact than other HVAC systems.
Heat Pump FAQs

Most heat pumps last between 10 and 15 years, similar to most HVAC systems.
