Heat Pumps Arvada, CO

Brand-Approved Heat Pump Service

Well-functioning heat pumps are impressively energy efficient, but even small issues can affect that efficiency. This is why rising electricity consumption is often the first indication you need heat pump service in Arvada. You can install a smart thermostat that monitors energy usage, or you can track your usage each month. If you notice a spike, you can schedule proactive maintenance and hopefully avoid the repair costs.

Another common sign you need heat pump service is short cycling. HVAC cycles vary depending on the size of the home and the heat pump model. That said, a typical cycle is between 10 and 15 minutes and two to three times an hour. If you notice your system turns on and off more quickly, check if you have a clogged filter. If not, turn the system off and contact us. It suggests a serious issue, such as a refrigerant leak.

If you have an older system that needs heat pump repair services, it may be better to replace it instead. One factor is age. If your unit is older than 12 years, consider a new heat pump installation unless the repair is minor. The other factor is cost. If a repair will cost half as much as a new installation, replacement is usually the more economical decision in the long term.

This is an excellent time to consider a new unit, too. Modern heat pumps are significantly more efficient than older models, even those that are only a decade old. There are also rebates and tax credits available that can help make a new system more affordable.
