He did a great job. As he was looking at the heat pump, I asked him if he thought I should purchase a new heat pump. He told me if my wife and I were his mom and dad, he said he would not recommend it until the unit had to be replaced. That was very helpful because our budget is not very good...

They were able to get to my job quickly and performed the replacement quickly. My only complaints are lack of cleanup and I would've liked an overview of the new heater. Items that were moved to provide access to the heater were not put back, which wouldn't be a big deal except I've had back...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

There are three main types of heat pumps. An air-source heat pump system is the most common and has two parts—an indoor air handler unit and an outdoor heat pump unit. A ductless heat pump system functions similarly to an air-source heat pump system but doesn’t need ductwork to distribute the air. A geothermal heat pump system pulls heat from the ground to help heat your home.

Your HVAC manufacturer will give you instructions on how often you should service your system. Have your unit professionally serviced at least once a year when in doubt.

Heat pump systems are different because they provide heating and cooling solutions for your home. In this case, you should have it serviced at least twice a year.

HVAC systems usually last between 10 and 30 years, with most having a lifespan of around 20 years. Factors that impact a unit’s life expectancy include which brand you choose, how often you use it, and how well you maintain it. To make sure yours lasts as long as possible, make sure to keep it clean and schedule an annual service with an HVAC technician.

Costs depend on system age, type, labor, and whether part replacements are necessary.

If a geothermal heat pump is installed correctly, then you shouldn’t have to worry about having a backup heat source such as a furnace or oil boiler. However, there are geothermal systems installed that include a backup in case the heat pump fails due to extreme cold. This is simply a backup heat pump you’ll likely never need and not an alternative heat source.
