Deciding Between Heat Pump Repair or Replacement
Even if you’re uncertain with how your HVAC system works, there are several strong signs that your heat pump is no longer worth the effort to repair. Learning how to identify these signs will reduce the risk of a total breakdown. It will also give you a chance to seamlessly make the transition from an old heat pump to a new one.
- Assessing the Age of Your Heat Pump Most residential systems live around 15 years when properly maintained. New heat pumps are less likely to need replacement or repairs. If yours is past the 15-year mark, however, it could be less expensive overall to replace it with a new one.
- Frequency of Heat Pump Repairs A heat pump that’s regularly maintained won’t need constant service calls. If you notice that you’re having to make increasingly frequent appointments with our Raleigh heat pump replacement technicians, swapping to a new model is a smart move. We have the tools and experience to provide flawless installation backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.*
- Evaluating the Cost of Heat Pump Repairs Even infrequent repairs can be a good sign that you should focus on replacement instead, especially if these repairs are more than half the cost of a new system. Problems that can be fixed easily and inexpensively tend to favor repairs over replacement. But if those costs start skyrocketing and problems become more complex, replacement is the better long-term option. Many of the Lennox models we work with are ENERGY STAR® rated, which means they’re highly efficient at reducing your monthly utility bills.
Understanding Heat Pump Longevity and Maintenance
The average lifespan of a heat pump typically falls within a range of 12 to 25 years, making it an important consideration for homeowners looking to make a long-term investment in their heating and cooling systems. Various factors influence how long a heat pump will last, and understanding these factors is crucial when assessing the expected lifespan.
Here are the factors that go into a heat pump's lifespan:
- Quality of Installation: Proper installation by a qualified technician can significantly impact a heat pump's lifespan. A well-installed unit is more likely to last longer.
- Brand and Model: The quality and durability of the brand and model you choose play a role. Higher-quality units tend to have longer lifespans.
- Maintenance: Regular maintenance, including cleaning, inspections, and timely repairs, can extend the life of your heat pump.
- Climate: Heat pumps in milder climates typically last longer than those in harsher environments with extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Usage: The more a heat pump is used, the shorter its lifespan is likely to be. Units in homes that require constant heating or cooling may wear out faster.
- Type: Air-source heat pumps generally have a shorter lifespan (12-15 years) compared to ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps (20-25 years) due to less wear and tear on the components.
- Technology Advancements: Advancements in heat pump technology may lead to more efficient and longer-lasting units in the future.
What Should I Prioritize in a New Heat Pump?
Here are a few tips for making a responsible, well-informed decision to maximize the benefits of your new heat pump.
- Look for an energy-efficient model. While older systems can’t compete with the advances in energy-efficient technology, you’ll still want to identify the most efficient air source heat pump from the new models as well. Pay attention to the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) and heating season performance factor (HSPF) ratings on models. The higher the number, the more efficient your system is at turning energy into comfort. You’ll also want to consider an efficient air handler, which works alongside your heat pump to circulate treated air throughout your Raleigh home.
- Look for models that offer the features you want most. Selecting a replacement should include identifying the features or controls that are most useful to you, like eco-friendly programming or the opportunity to integrate a smart thermostat into your HVAC system. But an endless list of extra features shouldn’t be a deciding factor if you won’t use most of them.
- Look for a reputable company like Yellow Dot Heating & Air Conditioning to replace your heat pump. We’ll work with you to find the right heat pump for your needs and review financing options. And no matter what, we back our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
