Palm Desert Heater Replacement

Heat pumps typically last 10-15 years, but as they pass the 10-year-old mark, they begin to show signs of aging, wear and tear, and reduced efficiency. As service and repair calls increase for your HVAC system, it is time to consider replacing your old heat pump.

Some of the signs that it is time to replace your heat pump are:

• Frequent repairs. As your heating system ages, parts start to wear out, it may not function as consistently as it did when it was new, and you may notice repair calls increasing. Frequent repairs and service calls for your heat pump are a sure sign that you may save money replacing it over continuing to repair it. When repair costs outweigh the cost of a replacement, choose the replacement.
• Aging system. If your heat pump system is over ten years old, it may already be showing signs of inefficiency. As it increases in years, the efficiency of its function will continue to dwindle. Older heat pumps inevitably have a lower efficiency rating, while a replacement will work efficiently and have a higher rating.
• Increased energy bills. When your energy bills increase, whether a drastic jump or a slow incline, it may be a sign that your heat pump is working harder than before to provide the same airflow and heat for your home.
• Safety issues. Some heat pump breakdowns can result in leaks of potentially dangerous materials, including carbon monoxide. If your heat pump is leaking carbon monoxide, it could be time to replace it.
