How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If you use your heat pump for heating and cooling, you should service it twice annually, in the fall and the spring.

What is the life span of a heat pump?

The average life span of a heat pump is 10-15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round to heat and cool your home, they don’t always last as long as a typical heating or cooling system. However, you can extend the life span by ensuring that your unit is routinely maintained by an HVAC professional.

Why Your A/C’s SEER Rating Matters

When it comes to selecting a new air conditioner for your home, the seemingly endless options can often be overwhelming. With so much to consider, and so many different systems available, it’s no surprise that some homeowners just don’t even know where to begin. Well, we say you should start with the SEER rating, and here’s why:

First, what is a SEER rating?

SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, measures the amount of cooling capacity that a machine has against the amount of energy needed to carry out the cooling process. In short, you want to look for higher SEER ratings, as higher rated units will put out more cooling power, for less cost.

What is the average SEER?

As of January 2015, all air conditioner manufacturers are required to produce systems with a minimum SEER of 14. While 14-16 are typically the average, SEER ratings can be as high as 25. In order to decide which is right for your home, you must take several factors into account, including your region’s climate overall. It may be worth spending the money on a higher rated unit in the long run.

Need help deciding which SEER rating is the best match for your home’s cooling unit?
