We’d argue that our team is full of excellent technicians that keep customers coming back, but we’ll have to prove it to you first.

Heat Pump Tips: Repair or Replace?

Monday, October 16th, 2023

It probably feels like it was just yesterday when you bought your first heat pump. It was all the rage in your neighborhood and now it’s been almost 10 years. Time really flies when you’re having fun, right?

When deciding between repair and replacement, there are key considerations homeowners should weigh, such as system age, efficiency, repair costs, and comfort needs. HVAC systems are designed to last about 15 years, but you may need a new one sooner if it breaks down often or no longer keeps your home comfortable.

For many of our customers, their heat pumps are about to reach their 10th or 11th birthdays. For others, it’s only year 5 but there have been a plethora of problems lately that have brought some frustrating results. Before deciding on replacement, it’s important to evaluate your current unit for efficiency and compatibility with your home’s systems. Maybe the system doesn’t want to switch from heating to cooling anymore, or perhaps it’s leaking refrigerant whenever you look away. These are bad, but they might not constitute the need for a replacement.

Here, we’ll give you the details on whether it’s time to replace your old system or invest in expert heat pump repair in Bristow, OK. For minor issues, HVAC repair can be a practical and cost-effective solution, especially if your system isn’t too old. However, if you’re dealing with frequent breakdowns and older systems, replacement may be the better option. Common signs it’s time for an HVAC replacement include having multiple repairs in the past two years or the cost of fixing your system being close to half the price of a new unit. The ‘5,000 rule’ suggests that if the cost of repair multiplied by the age of the system exceeds $5,000, replacement is generally the better choice.

Regardless of the solution you choose, we’ll be there beside you to do the work in a timely and professional manner. If replacement is needed, consult a professional to help you select the right system for your home, whether it’s a full HVAC replacement, air conditioning replacement, or just upgrading your AC system.
