A heat pump is a split system that looks and functions like a standard central air conditioner in the summer. Using a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and a refrigerant, it absorbs the excess heat from inside your home using the evaporator, and releases it outdoors at the condenser, leaving your home cool and comfortable.
In the winter, the cycle is reversed. Even cold air contains some heat, and a heat pump can extract that heat and bring it inside, keeping your home warm and cozy. A heat pump needs only electricity to operate, making it ideal for areas without natural gas service, and because it only moves heat from one point to another, instead of creating it, the system is extremely efficient.

Is It Time To Replace Your Heat Pump?

Your heat pump is over 10 years old
It has become unreliable and needs frequent repairs
A major failure has occurred, such as a leaking coil or faulty compressor
It uses far more energy than a modern system
It cannot keep your home comfortable

Will installing a heat pump reduce my annual heating costs?
For the vast majority of homeowners, a heat pump will substantially reduce annual heating costs. Heat pumps can offer heating efficiency as much as four or five times what even a high-end electric or gas furnace can. Where older models of heat pump once fell rapidly behind a furnace as temperatures dropped below zero, modern units typically maintain function and efficiency into the negatives.
Will insurance companies insure a home that is heated exclusively with a heat pump?
It depends on the insurance company and whether they classify heat pumps as acceptable primary heat. In some cases, a ducted heat pump may qualify where mini-splits do not, while some insurance companies will only accept a heat pump as a supplementary source of heat.
How long does a heat pump last?
A heat pump offers a service life more akin to an air conditioner, at around 15 years, though this number can vary significantly depending on use, maintenance, and other factors. A heat pump used exclusively for supplementary heat will last much longer than one used as your sole source of heating and cooling throughout the year. Some uses may lead your heat pump to last closer to 10 years; some units may still be going strong at 20.
Is there a certain size or type of heat pump I should install?
As with a furnace or air conditioner, a professional sizing your heat pump to the specific heating and cooling needs of your home is crucial to maximizing energy efficiency and comfort. Oversized units will produce too much cold air or hot air in too short a time, resulting in poorly mixed air in your home and hot and cold spots—to say nothing of inefficiency and accelerated wear. Undersized units won’t be able to keep you comfortable.
Do I already have a heat pump or is it my air conditioner?
You can test quickly whether you have a heat pump or air conditioner by setting your system to heat and checking whether the outdoor unit attached to your home is still operating. If you have a dual-fuel system which uses gas heating at very low temperatures, this test may not work on very cold days, as your heat pumps exterior unit wouldn’t be compressing heat even though the heat is on.
