If you’re like most homeowners, you probably take your heat pump for granted and only think about it when there’s a problem. Heat pumps don’t last forever, so here are a few signs your system needs repairs or replacement.
Age
Age takes its toll on everything, including your heat pump. Even with routine maintenance, your heat pump won’t perform as effectively in its later years as when it was new. If your heat pump is over 15 years old, it’s time to plan on replacing it sooner than later.
Icy Coil
Ice on the outdoor unit’s coil is normal when the system is in heating mode. However, if it becomes too thick or fails to defrost, call a heat pump repair service to investigate the problem. Excessive ice buildup can impede the system’s performance and restrict airflow.
Restricted Airflow
Your heat pump relies on unimpeded airflow to work efficiently and keep your home at the desired temperature. When ice or debris blocks airflow, you’ll notice your home feeling less comfortable, and the system will work harder, causing it to wear out more quickly.
Clicking Noises
It’s normal for a heat pump to make noise when shifting from heating to cooling mode. However, if the system goes into a heating cooling loop, and the ice on the outside coil won’t defrost, call a technician as soon as possible.
Higher Energy Bills
Keep an eye on your monthly energy bills and watch for sudden spikes, which could indicate that your system needs a tune-up or replacement.
If you notice these or another problem with your heat pump, call the experts at The Darville Company for an inspection.

With the cost of everything going up, it’s natural to want to save a few bucks on home repairs by doing it yourself. Many household projects are perfect opportunities to learn new skills and save money; however, heat pump repair isn’t one of them, and here’s why.
Heat pumps are complex machines requiring a trained professional with the experience and education to diagnose and fix problems correctly. Watching YouTube tutorials or reading how-to guides online doesn’t give you the same expertise as a pro and can lead to costly mistakes.
Another good reason to hire a pro for heat pump service is that there’s risk involved. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you run the risk of fire or electrocution, and no amount of savings is worth risking your home or life. Professionals have the education and years of hands-on experience to safely fix heating and cooling systems for your peace of mind.
Finally, if your system is still under warranty, a shoddy DIY repair may void it. Professional HVAC contractors work on all major brands and know how to fix them properly to keep your warranty intact and avoid future issues.
