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.

Preparing for Air Conditioner Replacement

There are many reasons why a homeowner might have to replace their air conditioning system. It may be due to performance issues, high energy consumption or an equipment upgrade. Regardless of the reason, it is important to prepare to make the process easier.

In this post, Tyler Heating, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration LLC shares tips on preparing for air conditioner replacement.

Set Your Budget

A heating and air conditioning system is a significant investment in your home. Set a budget, depending on the type of system you want to install. In addition to the equipment cost, don’t forget to take into account the other costs to install it. If you’re adding custom features or technologies, make sure to include them in your budget. Try to get multiple quotes before finalizing your budget and choosing a contractor.

Determine Your Needs

To get the most out of your replacement, carefully consider your options. Some air conditioning systems are ideal for a small home with few occupants, while others are best for a larger household. With the help of your HVAC technician, determine your heating and cooling needs and choose which option is best for your home in the long run. Getting a smaller air conditioner may be cheaper upfront, but it might reduce the comfort and efficiency you’ll get.

Prepare Your Home

Air conditioning systems require adequate space. The installers should be able to move around and utilize the equipment and tools needed for the job. To make the process easier for everyone, clear the work area of clutter and large objects. The easier the installers are able to move around the work area, the faster the process will be.
