Heat pump installation pricing is impacted by the following variables:
Remember when you install a new HVAC system, you may have to replace more than just the unit itself such as installing new air ducts, drain line, thermostat, drainage for condensation, etc. Talking with a CityWide HVAC specialist is the best way to find out exactly what your specific heat pump installation requires.
Basic troubleshooting and maintenance like checking the circuit board or clearing the outdoor unit of debris and clutter can be done by home owners, however we do not advise home owners to try to repair a heat pump themselves. Heat pumps are very complicated systems that require expert training and knowledge to effectively troubleshoot and properly repair.
Heat pumps are louder than boilers and furnaces, but a heat pump that is suddenly louder and/or making strange noises is a definite cause of concern and you should call a professional right away.
The typical lifespan of a heat pump is around 15 years. If the heat pump in your home is under 10 years and the performance is noticeable lower than it used to be, it may be in need of repair. Often a tune up, changing filters and lubricate, clean and calibration will have it returned to optimal performance.
