Heat pumps are reliable HVAC systems that can offer a great performance for 15 years. Sadly, they can go bad before that, so it’s important to pay close attention to yours. Everything from frequent repairs and strange sounds can indicate something is wrong with your heat pump.
However, our approach to heat pump replacement starts with an inspection. After all, we have tons of experience with heat pump repair, so it may just need a simple fix. The last thing we want is for you to invest in a new heat pump when we could simply repair the system.
That said, heat pump replacement is often necessary when the system is between 10 and 15 years old. Don’t hesitate to reach out if something isn’t right with your heat pump. For prompt heat pump replacement in Short Hills, NJ, call us at (908) 633-1333.
It’s time to replace your heat pump if it’s faulty, aged, and simply doesn’t work. Pay attention to common problems that indicate heat pump replacement is necessary, such as:
It may be normal to require heat pump repairs, but it shouldn’t be necessary frequently. We recommend our customers get their heat pumps serviced once per year. Of course, problems may pop up that require repairs.
That said, repairs shouldn’t be necessary several times per year. We will closely inspect your heat pump when we service it to make sure there are no underlying problems. This lets us address such problems before they turn into expensive repairs. It’s time to replace your heat pump if you spend a fortune on constant repairs.
If your heat pump requires frequent repairs, it’s likely because of its age. Heat pumps only typically last 15 years, and some pumps don’t even last that long. We never recommend major repairs if a heat pump is that old.
That’s because you will only be able to enjoy the benefits of the repair for a limited time. It’s a much better idea to use that money to put toward heat pump replacement.
It can be unnerving when you hear your heat pump make strange sounds. Rattling and buzzing often indicate serious problems with your heat pump. Don’t be scared if you hear humming sounds, however, as that is typical with heat pumps.
Never ignore bizarre sounds that come from your heat pump. They could indicate loose parts, air handler problems, and problems with the coils.
Heat pump replacement isn’t always necessary when the performance is suffering. However, it is likely time to replace your heat pump if repairing it doesn’t improve the performance. Otherwise, you will waste money by continually paying for repairs instead of getting a new system.
However, it’s a great idea to reach out with your concerns, and we can inspect your heat pump. This will give us an idea of whether or not it’s worth repairing or replacing the pump.
High energy bills often point to serious problems with heat pumps. Faulty heat pumps are quite inefficient, and cycle more than they should. This both increases your bills and further strains the heat pump itself.
However, we do our due diligence and see if there’s a reasonable explanation before we replace your heat pump. For example, it could be a case of bad insulation, a faulty thermostat, or a clogged air filter. Heat pump replacement is an investment, so we want to be sure it’s the right choice.

The last thing we want is for you to be stuck with a faulty heat pump that doesn’t work whether it be summer or winter.
