A heat pump is one of the most convenient and efficient home comfort systems out there. If you own a home with a heat pump, you\u2019re probably aware of its many benefits. A heat pump is the workhorse of the home, putting in double duty to heat your home in the winter and cool it down in the summer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, just like other heating and cooling systems, heat pumps don\u2019t last forever and will eventually need to be replaced. What are the signs you may need heat pump replacement in your Union, NJ<\/a> home sooner than later? Here are 5 signs to be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1 Heat Pump Age<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the biggest factor in determining how much longer your heat pump will keep pumping. The average heat pump lifespan is 10-15 years for systems that have had regular maintenance and timely repairs. Heat pump maintenance is recommended twice a year since they work year-round to cool and heat your home. If your heat pump is showing any of the signs below, and it\u2019s within this range, it could be due for a replacement soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 Poor Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you noticed a steady decline in your heat pump\u2019s efficiency? Perhaps your utility bills have gone up or it doesn\u2019t seem like it\u2019s heating your home as quickly or as efficiently as it has in the past. Paying more money on utility bills for sub-par heating of your home is frustrating indeed. If repairs and maintenance haven\u2019t taken care of the issue, it could need replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 Blowing Cool Air Instead of Hot Air and Vice Versa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a common problem in heat pumps and it\u2019s usually a somewhat easy fix. If you\u2019re trying to heat your home and all you\u2019re getting is lukewarm air, check to make sure your heat pump isn\u2019t in cooling mode. Other simple fixes could be a low refrigerant level, a dirty air filter, or an improperly calibrated thermostat. Another possible cause is that the reversing valve is faulty and needs to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 Heat Pump Won\u2019t Turn Off <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many possible causes for a heat pump that\u2019s running constantly. Incorrect thermostat setting, a dirty air filter or coils, a refrigerant leak, a broken compressor contractor, and an incorrectly sized heat pump are all possible culprits. Most of these are easy fixes that\u2019ll need to be addressed by the technicians at Max Sr. and Paul Schoenwalder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 Heat Pump Won\u2019t Turn On<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your heat pump won\u2019t turn on at all, that\u2019s not a good sign. The issue could be with the starter capacitor. This is what delivers power to the motor that drives the heat pump. If the heat pump makes a clicking noise when you attempt to turn it on, a faulty starter capacitor is likely the cause and it\u2019ll need to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
