The cost to repair or replace a heat pump ranges from $160 to $650, depending on the part that requires repair or replacement. Consult your HVAC or heat pump professional to get an accurate price quote based on your system’s type, size, and scale of the repair or replacement needed.

No, heat pump maintenance needs are very similar to air conditioners, including keeping outdoor units clean, changing filters regularly, and occasionally scheduling a refrigerant check to see if any has leaked out.

However, since they are always on call, they can develop wear and tear faster than an air conditioner.
