Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Heat Pump?

Many homeowners aren’t sure whether their heat pumps need to be repaired or replaced. Of course, they don’t last forever. However, you can maximize the lifespan of your heat pump system with routine preventative maintenance services. It’s a good idea to contact us and have one of our skilled technicians come to your home and inspect your system. We’ll give you honest advice about its condition and your options for repairs or a new installation.

It’s Better To Repair Your Heat Pump If…

In general, if your heat pump is less than 10 years old, still working well, and has been routinely maintained through the years, there’s a good chance that it’s still efficient enough to keep your home warm all winter long.

Additionally, if you’ve rarely needed to repair the unit in the past, you’ll likely be able to perform repairs on your heat pump without any issues.

It’s Better To Replace Your Heat Pump If…

If your heat pump is at least 10 years old, then you should consider replacing it. Tune-ups and repairs are adequate until the heat pump declines past the point of efficient returns. There comes a day when a simple repair will no longer do the trick to keep the heat pump working well.

If you’re unsure, give our friendly team a quick call. One of our skilled technicians will come to your home and inspect your heat pump to determine its performance capacity. You’ll get honest advice so that you can be sure whether you need a repair or a new system.

Further, modern technologies include variable speed air handlers, dual-stage compressors, and superior coil designs that optimize the comfort in your home better than older units are able to.

Common Heat Pump Problems

There are some common issues that develop in older heat pumps and indicate the need for replacement. Of course, in some cases, the issue can be resolved at an early stage to prolong the life of the unit. Again, preventative maintenance is key to staying on top of common heat pump problems.

Excessive Noise

It’s normal for a heat pump to make sounds when it’s cycling on and off. However, other than that, its operations should be fairly quiet. You should not hear any clanging, banging, rattling, or other strange noises coming from the unit or your ventilation system. If you notice such noises, it could indicate a dangerous situation. Turn your system off and call us right away.

High Energy Bills

Have you noticed the energy bills in your home increasing over the past couple of years? If so, it could mean that your heat pump needs to be replaced. Older units decline in efficiency, making them work harder to maintain the comfort levels in your home, which increases what you pay and monthly energy bills. Of course, working harder also causes more wear and tear, which decreases the unit’s lifespan.

Ice Forming Inside Unit

While it’s normal to see temporary frost build-up on the coils of a heat pump, you should not see any thick ice build-up. It could indicate poor airflow due to blocked ventilation, a clogged air filter, or a malfunctioning blower motor. Call us. We’ll come out and inspect your system and let you know what’s going on in detail.

Short Cycling

Heat pump short cycling happens when the unit automatically turns off without completing its full cycle. This means that the unit is continuously running in its startup mode, instead of its mode of optimal efficiency. This will cause inefficient heating in the home, increased wear and tear on the unit, and higher energy bills.

Heat Pump Tune-Ups Can Help Extend The Life of Your System

If you use your heat pump system for both heating and cooling throughout the year, it’s best to have it tuned up at least twice annually. Our meticulous heat pump tune-ups involve replacing the air filters, cleaning the system, lubricating all moving parts, and ensuring that the fan, compressor, and coil are operating efficiently.

Our HVAC system shut down Sunday with the temp around 90 degrees! By evening it was 81 degrees inside our home. Called Armor Air early Monday morning and advised them I needed a technician as soon as possible due to system shutdown the day before. By 10 am I had a technician named Casey knocking on my door. After a thorough check of the inside and outside unit, he said that system was very low on refrigerant forcing the computer thermostat to shut the system down to prevent damage. He spent at least another 2 hours attempting to locate the leak but couldn’t determine where! He informed us that he would put refrigerant in the system to allow us to have A/C until the following day when he could have the equipment to do a thorough leak search on the system. Casey returned the next morning and completed a full leak search. The leak was in our A-coil/Evaporator coil and needed replaced. He sat down with the wife and I to explain parts, labor and cost to complete the repairs. Again he had to put more refrigerant in the system to allow our home to have A/C for the second time. He advised he had overnighted the replacement part and would be back the following day for the repairs. Unfortunately, Casey was sent on an urgent call so Jamie sent his two top technicians Chad and John to complete the repair. Both were wonderful! They were professional, friendly, kept us informed as the work was done. Casey stopped by to see Joe things were going and stayed to assist Chad and John with the repair! I cannot say enough regarding all 3 technicians about their knowledge, job skills, their professional and caring about the customers and work! Nothing but the very best for all 3!! You have men to be very proud of. And that includes you as well Jamie for taking time out of your day to answer my call and explain the process for the repair.

I recently bought a house and had Armor come out to flush the hot water heater and inspect the plumbing. Ultimately, I needed to have my hot water heater replaced (also added a water softener). Levi was prompt, personable, and professional. He presented me with options and was upfront about pricing. He was able to schedule and complete the work quickly. He also took the time to walk me through the new system, how to maintain the water softener, even shut offs- in case of emergency. Bonus, they didn’t leave my house a mess… I mean every single piece of trash was hauled away! I”m a happy customer.
