Is My Brownfield, TX Heat Pump Beyond Repair?

Your heat pump has provided your Brownfield, TX, home with conditioned air for over ten years now. There haven’t been many issues at all. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be on the lookout for future problems that could result in a replacement. Below, you’ll learn key signals that a heat pump is truly beyond repair.

Frequent Repairs and Poor Performance

First, ask yourself how often you’ve had the heat pump repaired already. If you’ve been getting tune-ups for it every year, you shouldn’t need more than one or two minor repairs between visits.

If more components malfunction despite maintenance, and if the repairs you request don’t improve performance, in the long run, consider a new system. The up-front cost may be steep, but it will be worth it moving forward.

A Major Repair in the Future

Besides frequency, think about the nature of the repairs you’re facing. If a service technician tells you your heat pump needs a new motor or compressor, just know that these jobs are costly. For a relatively new heat pump, get it repaired first. Replacements typically occur after a system reaches the 10-15 year mark.

Unusually High Monthly Bills

You expect utility bills to shoot up during the peak seasons of winter and summer, but once you program the thermostat and leave it alone, you shouldn’t see any unusual increases. If you do, that may mean your heat pump is becoming inefficient and wasting energy. Though repairs may help, you’ll want to keep replacement in the back of your mind.
