Most heat pumps last about 15 years before they start having problems and using more energy. Because the deterioration happens slowly over time, you might not even notice it until you come home to a cold house and a heater that won’t turn on. 

Instead of pouring money into ever-increasing energy and repair bills and constantly fiddling with the thermostat to reach a comfortable temperature, contact Fast Response Heating & Cooling about heat pump replacement in Louisville, KY. We’ll provide an honest assessment of whether you should repair or replace the unit. 

Some of the indications that it’s time for an upgrade include:

• Poor indoor air quality due to an increase in contaminants in the air
• Uneven heat distribution 
• Excessive humidity 
• Refrigerant leaks 
• Unusual noises coming from the unit 
• You need to adjust the thermostat constantly
• Noticeable increases in energy bills 

The last thing you want is for your heat pump to fail on an unusually warm or cold day due to the failure of a major part like the heat exchanger. Keeping up with regular maintenance and scheduling professional service ensures that our technicians can spot signs of impending failure early on so you can be proactive about replacing the unit. 

When you are, you don’t have to worry about your air conditioning and heating system failing at the worst possible time.
