A heat pump offers a very efficient and affordable way to maintain a comfortable indoor environment in your Tempe, AZ, home. This equipment should last approximately 15 years. There are several signs that indicate it’s time to replace your heat pump with a new installation
Decrease in Efficiency
As a homeowner, you should pay close attention to your monthly utility bills. If you notice they’re starting to creep up over time, your heat pump could be to blame. System age can lead to inefficiencies and indoor air quality issues.
More Frequent Heat Pump Repairs
It’s normal for your heat pump to need repairs now and again. However, noticing that this scenario is occurring frequently can indicate a serious problem with your equipment that requires replacement.
Noisy Operation
You should hear minimal noise coming from your heat pump as it functions. If you’re hearing loud sounds while it’s running and this isn’t typical, our team can let you know if it’s time for a new heat pump installation.
Hot or Cold Spots
Your home should be consistently comfortable throughout every room. If you’re noticing that some areas are hotter or colder than others, you may be experiencing heat pump issues that require a replacement to promote better comfort.
An Aging Heat Pump
If your heat pump is close to 15 years old or is already older than that, it’s time to start planning for a new installation. Preparing for this replacement before it’s necessary allows you to budget for this purchase so it’s not such a hit to your household finances when the time comes.
