Damaged Heat Pumps: To Repair or Replace?

Home > Damaged Heat Pumps: To Repair or Replace?

Worn-out heat pumps

Are your heat pumps on the fritz? Can’t decide whether to have them repaired or replaced altogether? As the leading name in heat pump installation in Manchester, NH, we’ve advised countless homeowners about this very problem. To help you make an informed decision, let’s explore the key indicators that signal when it’s time to consider each option.

Age Matters

Heat pumps typically last around 15 years–granted you schedule regular heat pump maintenance procedures. If your unit is reaching or surpassing this milestone and exhibiting issues, replacement might be a wise investment for long-term efficiency.

Escalating Repair Costs

Assess the cost of repairs versus the price of a new unit. If the bills for constant heat pump services are stacking up and approaching or surpassing 50% of the cost of a new heat pump, consider looking for a replacement as it may just be the more economical option.

Energy Efficiency Decline

Aging heat pumps may experience a decline in energy efficiency. Newer heat pump replacement models are designed to be more energy-efficient, potentially saving you money on utility bills in the long run.

Frequent Breakdowns

For quality heat pump repair services, you can always count on Sanford Temperature Control. However, if your heat pump seems to require constant attention and breaks down frequently, it may be signaling the end of its reliable lifespan. Investing in a new unit can provide peace of mind and consistent comfort.

Outdated Technology

Advancements in heat pump technology have improved efficiency and performance. If your unit is outdated and struggles to meet modern energy standards, a replacement can bring your home heating and cooling to the next level.

Deciding whether to repair or replace your heat pump is a critical choice. Consider factors such as age, repair costs, energy efficiency, reliability, and technology. When in doubt, consult with HVAC professionals for expert guidance tailored to your specific situation.

I thought Derek was polite. Courteous knew what he was doing. Got my furnace fixed in one day. I was very appreciative and because of his service I will now only use you guys going forward. He’s a great technician.

I'm always impressed when a service provider takes the time to educate me about the product I bought. Eddie explained the protocols for maintaining my mini-splits
, provided me with the knowledge that he brought to the inspection and showed me how to improve the longevity of the product. In the process he convinced me to extend my service.
Good job -

Eric, our Sanford tech, did wonderful as always. maintaining our beast of a heating system takes skill. He is prompt and kind gets the maintenance taken care of quickly. He doesn’t mind the annoying dogs or the beam that you have to duck under going up and down stairs.

They check in the day before coming and Eric texts when on the way. He is always on time. We have been very happy with the work and the professionalism.

This was my first time using Sanford. Derek was amazing. He diagnosed the problem quickly, showed me the problem, and then quoted me a price which was very reasonable. He had the part on the truck and had the problem fixed within a half hour. From the person I made the appointment with, Irish, to the dispatcher I spoke with for an estimated time of arrival, to Derek, my experience was nothing but positive. I had such a great experience that I will always use Sanford for my heating, cooling, and plumbing needs. Highly recommended!

After Sanford did such an impressive job installing our new Bosch furnace last winter, it was a no brainer as to who we wanted to add a central air conditioner to our house.
They gave us two options and we chose to go with a heat pump. Jason and his team did an incredible job installing the system in just a single day. The quality of their workmanship is second to none and he couldn’t be a nicer person to work with.
Another great job by Sanford !

We had Brian B come to our home to conduct a follow up visit to evaluate our Carrier AC that was installed in February. Just like the three-man crew who did the installation, Brian B did an outstanding job of making sure that everything was working just fine. He answered all our questions and made sure we were confident that our AC would be working fine this summer. Great job.

Extremely happy with the service I received. Mike did an excellent job of servicing my HVAC system. He was very efficient, knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions. Also, the office personnel were very helpful and responsive to all my requests and questions regarding scheduling and pricing. I will be using them again and would highly recommend Mike.

Excellent service. Arrived on time. Asked me questions to diagnose any possible issues. Explained several things I did not know about my system.

Eric was very pleasant & thoroughly cleaned & diagnosed my system. Every Sanford employee with whom I have had dealings has been pleasant, attentive, and professional. A friend recommended Sanford to me & I recommend them to you as well. I have been very happy with my equipment & service & know I can contact them anytime with questions & concerns & they will respond in a timely manner. Thank you Eric!

Our tech was great! He was respectful of the space (and rolled with the chaos of small kiddos running around like goons), knowledgeable, and efficient. We’ve used Sanford for years and will continue to do so.

Kyle G. from Sanford was awesome and super respectful. They installed furnace and AC system. He explained everything without being condescending, helped set up the wireless system, checked it and his team cleaned up everything after the job. My standards are pretty high and Kyle not only met them, he exceeded them. Thank you.
