The Benefits of Using A Heat Pump
One of the benefits of having a heat pump is that it does not need very much maintenance. Even so, there are a couple of things you should do to make sure your heat pump is running efficiently. First, you want to make sure to change your system’s filters regularly. How often will depend on if your system is running continuously or not. Second, you want to clear any debris that has gathered around your outside unit. To run effectively, a heat pump needs around 2 feet to 3 feet of clearance around it. Make sure no debris has collected on top of your unit.
Third, you want to clean your condenser coils if they are dirty, so your heat pump can pump efficiently. This should be done once or twice a year by making sure to shut off the power and clean the coils with a specific solution. Fourth, it is important if you live in an area that receives a significant amount of snowfall, to make sure you keep your unit clear of ice and snow buildup. Lastly, make sure to have your heat pump regularly inspected. Heat pumps will last you a long time if you maintain them properly and have them inspected once a year by a trained HVAC technician.
Should I Repair Or Replace My Heat Pump?
There are a few things to look at when making the decision to repair or replace your heat pump. You should consider making a repair on your heat pump if it is under 10 years old, it is still currently covered by an HVAC service contract or warranty, the repairs are fairly inexpensive, or it is just being overly noisy. It may be time to consider replacing your heat pump when it is older than 10 years old, it is causing your energy bills to soar, it is beginning to pose a safety risk to your family, or the bill to repair it is at least 30% to 50% of the cost to replace the unit.
If you’re having issues with your heating system it’s time to call All Things HVAC. Our technicians are ready to assess the problem and make sure your heater is in tiptop shape. Call us 24 hours if your heater has stopped working. We don’t want you to be left in the cold!
