When to Replace Your Heat Pump

For the average San Diego homeowner, it isn’t easy to tell if a heat pump is on its last legs and needs to be replaced. Major appliance repairs come with the territory of home ownership, but at a certain point, when you are calling in a professional every three or four weeks to replace yet another part that has broken or stopped working on your heat pump, it may be time to start considering options beyond repair.

There are a number of specific things to keep an eye out for. The first is a drop in capacity. Your heat pump should be able to handle all of your cooling needs in the summer and the bulk of your heating needs in the winter. So, when you find your system unable to keep you comfortable on the hottest or coldest of days or if your energy bills suddenly start to spike to keep the system operational at full capacity, it is likely due to a problem in your heat pump.

When that happens, you should have it inspected right away. Sometimes, it may just be that your heat pump needs filter maintenance or your air handler is a little dirty. But if it happens regularly or you simply can’t get it back to 100% efficiency, it may be time to consider replacement.

Heat Pump Energy Efficiency

One of the most common reasons to seek a replacement for your heat pump is when it simply costs too much to operate. In the last decade, energy efficiency in heat pumps has increased dramatically. If your system is more than 10 years old, a brand new mid-range model might serve to provide significant energy savings over the one you have now.

If that is the case, you may want to invest in a new system now rather than waiting for your old one to completely breakdown. Either way, one of our San Diego HVAC professionals can help you determine what the most cost effective option is.
