What is a Heat Pump and How Does It Work?

Homeowners looking for an efficient heating and cooling solution will appreciate the superior performance of heat pump technology, but how does a heat pump work?

While traditional heating and cooling equipment, such as a furnace or air conditioner, work by generating conditioned air, a heat pump works by transferring heat from one location to another according to need. As the compressor circulates refrigerant between two coils, heat is absorbed from the air, and through the process of evaporation and condensation it is transferred to the indoors during the colder months and to the outdoors during the warm months.

Signs You Need a Heat Pump Replacement 

With professional installation and regular maintenance, your heat pump should provide you with years of reliable service. However, the time will come when you will need to decide between repairing or replacing the unit. Here are some warning signs that a heat pump replacement may be imminent:

• Frequent repairs. If you find yourself calling for heat pump repair one or more times each season over the course of a few years or you are facing a repair that costs more than 50% of a replacement unit, you may benefit from a heat pump replacement.
• Decreased comfort. If your heat pump is no longer able to maintain the desired temperature in your home, you may need heat pump repair or replacement.
• Loud or unusual noises. Your heat pump is engineered to operate smoothly and quietly with little or no friction. If your heat pump has begun making sudden or unusual sounds, call Preferred Home Services for expert diagnosis and repair or replacement.
• An unexplained rise in energy costs. As your heat pump nears the end of its life span, efficiency will begin to decrease as the system works harder to heat and cool your home.
• Old age. With an average life span of between 12 and 15 years, you should start to think about replacing your heat pump around the 10-year mark. Innovative technology makes today’s heat pumps more reliable and efficient than ones manufactured as little as 10 years ago, and a great investment toward the comfort of your home and family.
