What Is A Heat Pump And How Does It Work?
Homeowners looking for an efficient heating and cooling solution will appreciate the superior performance of heat pump technology. But how does a heat pump work?
While traditional heating and cooling equipment, such as a furnace or air conditioner, work by generating conditioned air, a heat pump works by transferring heat from one location to another according to need. As the compressor circulates refrigerant between two coils, heat is absorbed from the air and transferred to the indoors during the colder months and to the outdoors during the warm months through the process of evaporation and condensation.
Signs You Need A Heat Pump Replacement
With professional installation and regular maintenance, your heat pump should provide you with years of reliable service. However, the time will come when you need to decide between repairing or replacing the unit. Here are some warning signs that a heat pump replacement may be imminent:
Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself calling for heat pump repair one or more times each season over the course of a few years or facing a repair that costs more than 50% of a replacement unit, it may be time for a heat pump replacement.
Decreased Comfort: If your heat pump can no longer maintain the desired temperature in your home, you may need heat pump repair or replacement.
Loud or Unusual Noises: Heat pumps are designed to operate smoothly and quietly. If your heat pump is making sudden or unusual sounds, call Blue Collars for expert diagnosis and repair or replacement.
Rising Energy Costs: As your heat pump nears the end of its lifespan, efficiency will decrease as the system works harder to heat and cool your home.
Old Age: With an average lifespan of 12-15 years, consider replacing your heat pump around the 10-year mark. Innovative technology has made today’s heat pumps more reliable and efficient than those manufactured just a decade ago.
