Common signs that your heat pump may need repair include reduced heating or cooling performance, unusual noises, frequent cycling, or a noticeable increase in energy bills.

If your heat pump is not heating or cooling properly, check the thermostat settings and filters first. If the issue persists, contact a professional technician for a thorough diagnosis and repair.

While some basic maintenance tasks can be done by homeowners (e.g., changing filters), it’s recommended to hire a trained technician for complex repairs. DIY attempts can lead to further damage or void warranties.

The cost of a heat pump repair can vary based on the extent of the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a part may be relatively affordable, while major repairs can be more expensive. It’s best to get a quote from a technician after a thorough diagnosis.

Whether to repair or replace a heat pump depends on the age, efficiency, and overall condition of your system. A professional assessment can help determine the most cost-effective solution.

Many heat pumps come with warranties that may cover parts and labor for a specific period. The terms and coverage can vary, so it’s important to review your warranty and consult the manufacturer or installer for details.
