When to Consider Heat Pump Installation

With proper maintenance, heat pumps can last over a decade, but they will become less efficient and reliable with age. You should consider a heat pump installation if any of the following apply:

Your heat pump is over 10 years old. The average lifespan of a heat pump is between 10 and 15 years, and if your current system has any problems, an upgrade may be the best choice.
Your utility costs excessive. As heat pumps age, they lose efficiency, which will increase your energy usage and utility costs.
Your heat pump is inefficient. Older heat pumps often had a SEER of less than 13 and an HSPF of less than 8. Today’s systems can be far more efficient, featuring a SEER of 13 to over 20 and an HSPF of up to 10.
The system cannot heat or cool effectively. If your system cannot keep your home comfortable, installation is the only option.
Frequent repairs are necessary. If your heat pump requires frequent repairs or has major problems, like a damaged compressor, it is often more cost-effective to replace it.

At Thompson Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, our team can inspect your heat pump and offer honest advice about your repair and installation options.
