What factors affect the cost of a heat pump repair?

Replacement Parts: Over time, the components of your heat pump may wear out due to age and frequent use, necessitating replacements. The specific parts required for your repair can significantly impact the overall cost, as some components may be more expensive than others.
Refrigerant Issues: A low refrigerant level indicates a leak, affecting your repair estimate depending on the necessary steps to fix the issue. Furthermore, if your system operates on R-22 refrigerant, a complete switch to a more modern, environmentally friendly refrigerant is required, potentially adding to the cost.
Warranty Status: If your heat pump is still under warranty, you might be able to save on repair costs. Warranties often cover the expense of parts, labor, or both. Our technicians will verify the status of your heat pump's warranty to ensure you benefit from any coverage you have.

Financial planning for repairs is difficult when you get hit by surprise fees, so we'll always provide you with an exact estimate before we begin. We'll waive the diagnostic fee if you choose us for your repairs.

Repair Vs Replace

Is it time for a new heat pump?

You may be motivated to maximize the life span of your heat pump with repairs, but sometimes, investing in a replacement is more cost-effective.

You should consider replacing if:

Your heat pump is 10+ years old. Heat pumps last an average of 10 years. If your heat pump is close to this age, invest repair costs into a replacement.
Your parts and labor warranties have expired. Installing a new heat pump will often renew parts and labor warranties, saving you additional money for repairs down the line.
Your heating/cooling bill goes up every year. If your power bill continues to grow, a new heat pump can bring it back down to reasonable levels.

Common Repairs

Common Heat Pump Repairs

Heat pumps have a lot of components, and when just one starts to fail, your system will struggle to run efficiently. We routinely provide repairs for:

Refrigerant leaks. You might notice signs such as weak heating and cooling or ice building up on your outdoor system's coils. Other often-missed signs include higher-than-average energy bills or hearing hissing sounds when your system runs. This issue requires professional leak detection methods to isolate and seal the leak before recharging the refrigerant.
Electrical issues. Failed capacitors and faulty wiring can cause electrical issues with your heat pump, requiring prompt repairs.
Frozen outdoor units. Frozen outdoor units are usually caused by issues with the refrigerant or fan. The ice can build up even during the summer, restricting airflow and reducing cooling capacity.
Reversing valve failures. When the reversing valve fails, it leaves your heat pump stuck in heating or cooling mode. It requires professional replacement to restore function.
Thermostat malfunctions. If your thermostat goes out, it may lead to inaccurate temperatures or short cycling. While a battery replacement can sometimes solve the issue, persistent problems warrant a call to your local HVAC technician for recalibration or replacement.

FAQ

Heat Pump Repair Frequently Asked Questions

On average, heat pumps last between 10 and 15 years. In Arizona, heat pumps are under more strain due to longer cooling seasons. However, routine maintenance such as changing your filters as recommended and annual investment in heating and cooling maintenance can extend your system's lifespan.

It's also important to choose a reputable, dependable technician to install and repair your heat pump. They have the expertise to maximize your system's lifespan.

Yes, most heat pumps can be repaired, but it may not always be worthwhile to do so. The best way to determine if your heat pump can be repaired is to have a professional technician perform a diagnostic evaluation and quote for the cost.

It depends on the age of your system and the specific repairs needed. Typically, if your system can be repaired, we'll consider the age of the system and the cost of the repairs versus the price of a replacement.

Some techs use the $5,000 rule to determine whether it's better to repair or replace a heat pump. To perform the calculation yourself, multiply the quoted cost of the repair by the age of your system. If the answer is over $5,000, it's likely more cost-effective in the long term to invest in a replacement instead.

Others look at the total cost of repairs and replacement. If your system is older than 10 years and the cost of a repair is over half the cost of a replacement, a new system will often save you more money long term.

The compressor is typically the most expensive part of a heat pump to replace. Depending on how old your system is, we may recommend a total system replacement instead.

Compressors are expensive because they're such complex components. They function as the heart of the system, circulating and pressurizing refrigerant to heat or cool your home. The cost of replacement covers both the materials (including the component itself and the refrigerant) and the time it takes to complete the repair.

No, federal regulations outlined in the Clean Air Act require all technicians working on heat pumps or other equipment that utilizes refrigerant to be EPA-certified.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Tips

If your heat pump isn't working as it should, there are a few things to try troubleshooting before calling in a professional:

Check your thermostat settings. If your thermostat isn't set correctly, it might not run. Confirm it's set to cool (or heat in the winter) instead of fan or auto. If it's on the right setting, confirm the temperature is set to a level where it should activate.
Clean your air filter. If you've noticed your heat pump isn't blowing strongly, try cleaning or replacing the air filter. Most are meant to be replaced every 30 to 90 days, so if it's been a while, a clog could be reducing airflow.
Confirm your outdoor unit is clear. Any debris around your outdoor unit could compromise airflow. Clear away any leaves or debris. If there's ice on the heat pump, use a garden hose to melt it. For persistent freezing, contact a trained technician to diagnose the underlying issue.
Check that your system has power. If your system won't activate, confirm a circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Consider resetting your breakers and seeing if that makes a difference.
