Indications It’s Time For A New Heat Pump

If your home already relies on a heat pump to keep you comfortable, it will require a replacement at some point. Understanding the following signs that indicate a new system helps relieve the stress of not knowing it that will happen.

You Can’t Remember Your Last Replacement:

Nationally, the average heat pump may last 10 to 15 years. However, due to the high humidity and airborne salt in coastal Florida, the expected service life is 8 to 12 years. If you’re unable to recall the last time you updated your device, it may be due for an inspection. This will help you determine if you need a new heat pump installed.

Loud Noises:

Your unit should operate nearly silently when it’s working correctly. Should it be producing loud shrieking, clattering, jangling, or sizzling sounds, it indicates an issue that requires attention. Some of these sounds, combined with age, indicate that it’s nearing the end of its service life.

The Heat Pump Won’t Cycle:

If your pump won’t cycle, it’s obvious that it has a problem. Depending on the age and the repairs required, it may be time for an upgrade. Multiply the cost of all the repairs you’ve had over the last two years by the age of your unit. If that exceeds the cost of a new unit, start planning for your replacement.

Increasing Repairs and Energy Consumption:

Heat pumps experience slowly degrading efficiency as it nears the end of its service life. When this happens, you see an increase in energy consumption and find yourself calling for repairs more frequently. Another reason would be if your pump is not generating heat like it should. Keep an eye on both of these factors to gauge when your unit starts operating at reduced capacity.

Major Repairs:

Some repairs are so significant that it makes more sense to replace your unit. Commonly, this includes replacing the pump compressor, or either the evaporator or condensing coil. Part of the expense of replacing these components is evacuating the refrigerant and then recharging the system. This holds particularly true if your current system predates 2010 and utilizes the now banned R22 refrigerant.
