Is your heat pump working as it should? If not, it might be time to consider getting a heat pump replacement in Durham, NC. These five signs indicate that you may need to have your heat pump evaluated by a technician to determine whether you should repair or replace it.
Inadequate/Inconsistent Heating
Heat pumps offer tremendous efficiency in heating and cooling your home, but sometimes you find that your home is either too cold or too hot. In such circumstances, a routine inspection by a technician can determine if there are problems with the system. The professional evaluation helps determine whether your HVAC system needs repairs or it needs to be replaced.
Noisy Operation
If you’re sitting in your living room and hear strange noises coming from the heat pump while it’s operating, you will want to call a technician right away. Noise can indicate that there is a problem with the system and it needs professional repairs or possibly replacement.
Unexpected High Electric Bills
You may notice that your electric bill increases around the time that it’s breaking down, and you know you will have to have it replaced. But when you see that your energy bill is off the charts and there seems to be no reason for it, you need to schedule a professional check-up from a technician. A routine check-up will help determine if your heat pump requires a replacement.
Frequent Repairs Within a Short Period
You may notice that your heat pump has been having several problems that have prompted multiple repairs within a short period. If this is the case, you may want to consider hiring a technician to evaluate your system and determine whether you need a replacement rather than spending more money on time and money-consuming repairs.
