Is a Heat Pump Right for Your Home?
Heat pumps are a cost-effective, energy-efficient heating solution for the Metro Detroit region. Well-suited for our climate, they will provide consistent, reliable heat in the winter and cool comfort in the summer. There are many benefits to selecting a heat pump, including:
- Suitability: Heat pumps suit nearly every home, condo, or apartment.
- Energy efficiency: In some instances, heat pumps are up to 400% more efficient than gas-burning furnaces. Overall, heat pumps are energy-efficient, low-polluting systems, making them an environmentally friendly heating and cooling option.
- Longevity: A well-built, well-maintained heat pump will provide 20-25 years of reliable comfort. This is far longer than most furnaces, boilers, etc.
- Heating and cooling capability: Simply changing the refrigerant flow is all it takes for a heat pump to heat or cool your home. With a heat pump, there’s no need to install both a heating and cooling system, as the single unit can do it all.
Signs It’s Time To Replace Your Heat Pump
Paying close attention to your heat pump’s operation is crucial. If detected early, anomalies can be corrected before major repairs are required. If you notice any of the following, we recommend scheduling service right away:
- Constant operation: Debris and blockages caused by snow and ice can cause the heat pump to continue operating. A faulty thermostat may also cause it.
- Frequent repairs: Even the best heat pumps will wear out and fail over time. Most can last around 20-25 years with proper care and maintenance. Consider replacing the system if you notice increasing repair frequency on an older unit.
- Odd noises: Grinding, squeaking, and chattering are not normal operational sounds. If you hear these noises, it’s likely because of a loose or malfunctioning component.
- Leaks: Most leaks are minor and are caused by leaking refrigerant or moisture buildup. Often, sealing the leak and improving drainage will resolve the issue.
- Insufficient heating: If your heat pump no longer heats your home, it indicates that the system is operating less efficiently and thus may be nearing the end of its serviceable life span.
