Do I Need To Replace My Heat Pump?

You might be concerned that, because your heat pump isn’t working as it should, it’s nearing the end of its life and it should be replaced. Before you start worrying about paying for new heat pump installation, you should know that this is often not the case.

Heat pumps work year-round to heat and cool your home, so it’s normal for them to need the occasional repair. The average life expectancy of a heat pump is 10-15 years, and unless your heat pump is older than 10 years, a simple repair might be all you need.

However, it’s still possible that your heat pump will need to be replaced before then if it’s been neglected. This means running it when it’s not working properly and never maintaining it.

Talk to the team at Doc Dancer for maintenance tips and best practices to make the most of your HVAC system. If you do need to install a new heat pump, we provide heat pump replacement in Fort Wayne, IN, and the surrounding area.

Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repairs

Since heat pumps can’t talk, they do what they can to let you know that something is wrong. Heat pump issues don’t go away on their own, and ignoring them for too long can cause worse issues to develop. Don’t neglect your heat pump.

If you notice any of the following problems, call Doc Dancer for heat pump repairs right away.

Rising Heating and Cooling Costs

If you notice a sudden spike in your heating and cooling bills without any differences in operation or weather, a quick repair can often restore your bills to a comfortable level. Heat pumps are incredibly energy-efficient when working properly and when something is broken it has to use more energy to effectively heat or cool your home, which will be reflected in your utility bills.

Heat pump repairs restore your system to peak performance condition so they should use only as much energy as necessary to make your home feel comfortable again.

Can’t Reach the Temperature Set on Your Thermostat

Since heat pumps can both heat and cool your home, if your home isn’t reaching the set temperature on your thermostat, make sure it’s in the correct mode first. If it is, but your home still cannot reach the desired temperature there may be an issue with your system.

Strange Noises

Banging, rattling, hissing, whooshing, or buzzing noises coming from your heat pump are reasons to be concerned. Many times noises indicate loose parts or connections. Turn off your heat pump right away to prevent connections from breaking entirely and causing more damage within your unit.

Strong Odors

Musty odors like dirty gym socks can make your house nauseating. This odor is often a sign of mold growing on your evaporator cables or within your ductwork. Odors like a fishy smell, burning, or sewer can indicate big problems like a gas leak or a mechanical issue. Don’t run a heat pump that is making your house smell bad, it could be hazardous to your health.

The Unit Won’t Turn On

An important component of any type of HVAC system is the air filter. When air filters become clogged with dust, pet hair, debris, and other contaminants it can prevent fresh air from flowing into your system. If your heat pump won’t turn on and you can’t remember the last time you changed your air filter, try that first. You can buy most air filters at your local hardware store.

If you’ve changed the air filter and your unit still won’t kick on, then call the professional heating, air conditioning, and indoor air quality technicians at Doc Dancer for help.

Keep Your Heat Pump Working Reliably with Annual Maintenance

All HVAC systems should have maintenance done by an experienced HVAC company on a regular basis. Since heat pumps act as both a heating system and an air conditioner to provide your home with year-round comfort, they need bi-annual maintenance appointments. One in the spring before the cooling season starts, and again in the fall before the heating season.

During these maintenance appointments, your HVAC technician will inspect your system for signs of wear and tear, make any necessary repairs, clean your system, and restore it to peak efficiency to keep your home comfortable and help you save money.

Staying on top of HVAC tune-ups come with many benefits like keeping your monthly energy bills low and preventing the likelihood of unexpected system repairs.
