Deciding Between Heat Pump Repair or Replacement

Even if you’re uncertain with how your HVAC system works, there are several strong signs that your heat pump is no longer worth the effort to repair. Learning how to identify these signs will reduce the risk of a total breakdown. It will also give you a chance to seamlessly make the transition from an old heat pump to a new one.

1. Assessing the Age of Your Heat Pump Most residential systems live around 15 years when properly maintained. New heat pumps are less likely to need replacement or repairs. If yours is past the 15-year mark, however, it could be less expensive overall to replace it with a new one.
2. Frequency of Heat Pump Repairs A heat pump that’s regularly maintained won’t need constant service calls. If you notice that you’re having to make increasingly frequent appointments with our Raleigh heat pump replacement technicians, swapping to a new model is a smart move. We have the tools and experience to provide flawless installation backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.*
3. Evaluating the Cost of Heat Pump Repairs Even infrequent repairs can be a good sign that you should focus on replacement instead, especially if these repairs are more than half the cost of a new system. Problems that can be fixed easily and inexpensively tend to favor repairs over replacement. But if those costs start skyrocketing and problems become more complex, replacement is the better long-term option. Many of the Lennox models we work with are ENERGY STAR® rated, which means they’re highly efficient at reducing your monthly utility bills.

Understanding Heat Pump Longevity & Maintenance

The average lifespan of a heat pump typically falls within a range of 12 to 25 years, making it an important consideration for homeowners looking to make a long-term investment in their heating and cooling systems. Various factors influence how long a heat pump will last, and understanding these factors is crucial when assessing the expected lifespan. 

Here are the factors that go into a heat pump's lifespan:

• Quality of Installation: Proper installation by a qualified technician can significantly impact a heat pump’s lifespan. A well-installed unit is more likely to last longer.
• Brand & Model: The quality and durability of the brand and model you choose play a role. Higher-quality units tend to have longer lifespans.
• Maintenance: Regular maintenance, including cleaning, inspections, and timely repairs, can extend the life of your heat pump. In addition to routine checks, consider investing in a maintenance plan that schedules these services at optimal times, ensuring efficient operation year-round.
• Climate: Heat pumps in milder climates typically last longer than those in harsher environments with extreme temperature fluctuations. In Raleigh, the relatively mild winters mean less strain on heating components, which can enhance the system's longevity.
• Usage: The more a heat pump is used, the shorter its lifespan is likely to be. Units in homes that require constant heating or cooling may wear out faster. To mitigate this, consider programmable thermostats to optimize usage patterns and extend lifespan.
• Type: Air-source heat pumps generally have a shorter lifespan (12-15 years) compared to ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps (20-25 years) due to less wear and tear on the components.
• Technology Advancements: Advancements in heat pump technology may lead to more efficient and longer-lasting units in the future. Staying informed about these advancements can guide future purchases and upgrades, ensuring you benefit from advancements that can increase efficiency and longevity.
