Signs It’s Time To Replace Your Heat Pump
Heat pumps have an average lifespan of 15 years, but some require replacement after just a decade. It’s time to replace your heat pump if:
- Your system needs frequent repairs: HVAC systems tend to break down frequently when they’ve reached the end of their service life. At this stage, repairs are more expensive than an outright replacement.
- Your energy bills are increasing month-to-month: Improper maintenance can add 25% to your utility bills and could be a sign of age. If your filters are clean and unclogged, your electricity spikes could be due to a coil problem or refrigerant leak.
- Your unit can no longer heat your home effectively: Your heat pump’s efficiency will decrease with age. Faulty tubing, low refrigerant, malfunctioning valves, or a faulty thermostat could cause the problem. If you’ve experienced a multi-component failure, a replacement could be the only practical option.
- You’re experiencing over-cycling: This symptom tells you your system is working too hard to achieve the desired climate control. It could mean your ducts and vents are clogged.

Heat Pump Replacement FAQs
Can you just replace a heat pump without replacing your other components?
The simplest answer is “yes,” but to do so, you’ll need a heat pump that fits your components perfectly. Mixing and matching across brands and models can reduce your system’s efficiency and shorten its service life. Your best performance will come from a total replacement, but if you’re using a central system, you don’t need to replace your ducts.
How can I make my heat pump more efficient in the winter?
It’s tempting to crank up the thermostat, but heat pumps maintain temperature better than they achieve it. Keep your filter clean and your unit uncovered for the highest efficiency levels. Stay away from emergency mode, which will drive your power usage up exponentially.
Is a new heat pump worth it?
The latest heat pump technology offers an impressive SEER rating and better climate control efficiency. It will reduce your energy and maintenance costs, so it’s well worth the upfront costs.
