Considerations Before a Heat Pump Installation
Unlike standard AC and furnace setups, heat pumps are a year-round solution that provides both heating and cooling. Before installing a heat pump, it’s important to understand these differences and determine if it’s the best fit for your home’s needs.
To cool your home, both air conditioners and heat pumps move heat from inside your house to the outside. In cold weather, a heat pump reverses the process, moving heat from the outside to the inside. However, in the extreme cold of Chicago winters, heat pumps have a harder time gathering sufficient heat from outside. This means that they may require a supplemental heating source to maintain comfort. The team at Cahill can assess your home and help you decide if a heat pump is the best choice for you.
Signs You Need a Heat Pump Replacement
Your heat pump can display a few different signs when it’s time for a replacement. Be on the lookout for:
- Decreased efficiency: If your heat pump is not as efficient as it used to be, it will run more often, you’ll feel less comfortable, and your energy bills will be higher.
- Frequent repairs: Constant breakdowns and the need for frequent repairs can indicate that your money would be better put toward a new system.
- Age: Heat pumps typically have a lifespan of around 15 years. If yours is that age or older, it may be time to consider a replacement.
- Inconsistent temperatures: Uneven heating or cooling in your home can be a sign of a failing heat pump.
- Unusual noises: Strange noises from your heat pump can indicate serious issues that may require a replacement.
