Are heat pumps hard to maintain?Hannah Wiedemeier2023-01-19T08:38:29-06:00

Are heat pumps hard to maintain?

Heat pumps are no harder to maintain than a standard air conditioning unit, but one thing to be aware of is the effect of ice and snow on a heat pump. The pump’s outdoor fan blades need to run during most cycles, which can be an issue when they are covered in ice or snow. We would recommend switching over to ‘Emergency Heat’, which instructs your HVAC system to only run on your back up source of heat (such as electric, natural gas or propane). Using the emergency heat setting during these kinds of weather events can help you avoid performance issues.

How long do heat pumps last?Hannah Wiedemeier2023-07-06T11:26:18-06:00

How long do heat pumps last?

A heat pump’s lifespan greatly depends on consistent preventative maintenance. We recommend both fall and spring maintenance visits performed on all HVAC systems each year. When your heat pump is well maintained, it can last anywhere from 10-20 years.

Are heat pumps energy efficient? Hannah Wiedemeier2023-01-19T08:37:32-06:00

What’s the difference between an air conditioner and a heat pump?Hannah Wiedemeier2023-01-19T08:36:48-06:00

What’s the difference between an air conditioner and a heat pump?

A heat pump is essentially an air conditioner with a few extra components added. Unlike a standard AC unit, a heat pump utilizes a reversing valve and a defrost cycle. When a standard AC unit is running, the indoor coil is cold, and the outdoor coil is warm. The reversing valve “reverses” this process, flip flopping the two coils – now the indoor coil is warm, and the outdoor coil is cool. When ice builds up on the outdoor coil, a defrost cycle is used to reverse the warm / cool coil temporarily to melt the ice off the outdoor coil.

Are heat pumps effective in the Midwest?Hannah Wiedemeier2023-01-19T08:36:14-06:00

Are heat pumps effective in the Midwest?

While heat pumps are most popular in Southern states with warmer climates, they can also be effective in the Upper Midwest if applied properly. They have become more prominent in rural areas without access to natural gas (and instead have access to propane or electric only). Heat pumps reach their peak energy coefficient in temperatures between 30-60 degrees.
