If your property is heated and cooled by a heat pump, you know how important it is to keep the system in great working order. Since heat pumps provide both heating and cooling solutions, they work twice as hard as other HVAC systems and must be properly maintained to ensure their long-term effectiveness. However, even with regular professional care, you will eventually need a heat pump replacement service.
Here at Blocker Heating & Cooling, Inc., we are proud to offer a complete range of heat pump services, including heat pump replacement options. Below, we’d like to go over a few signs that it might be time to consider investing in a heat pump replacement.
- Your heat pump is over a decade old. If your system is 10 years old or more, we encourage you to start researching heat pump replacement options. Heat pumps gradually become less effective and efficient over the years, and it’s best to replace them before they completely break down.
- Your system needs frequent repairs. If you’re calling professionals for heat pump repairs multiple times a year, it’s time to invest in a heat pump replacement service. Getting a new system will help you save more in the long run due to energy savings, fewer repairs, and more reliable temperature controls.
- You notice strange smells or noises. When your heat pump suddenly starts to make unusual grinding, rattling, or squealing sounds, it could be a sign that an internal component is seriously worn out or damaged. Similarly, if you smell a musty or burning odor, there may be major damage within the heat pump that requires a heat pump replacement service.
