Heating & Air News

The average life of a residential builder-grade heat pump is 14 years.

Commercial grade heat pumps tend to last a bit longer.

Less expensive, off-brand heat pumps do not last as long and tend to break down before the brand name models.

Anyone with an aging heating and cooling system is going to ask themselves, when is it time to replace a unit rather than repair it?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions of homeowners: When is it best to repair vs. replace? Often a heat pump doesn’t need to be replaced, but sometimes it does.

It isn't uncommon to have multiple HVAC units installed in homes to help keep temperatures consistent.  It is especially helpful in larger homes or homes with multiple levels where it is harder to keep the upper floors cool in the summer.

Heat pumps are an efficient and energy saving way to provide heating and cooling to your home. Installing a new heat pump can save you between 25% and 50% on your utility bill. These systems not only heat your home in the winter by absorbing heat from outdoor air, they also provide cool air during the summer months by removing the heat from inside the home and recirculating cooler air.
