What Is a Heat Pump?
In short, a heat pump is a cooling and heating system that can redirect air to change the temperature as needed. If your home is too cold, the system directs warm air to the cold areas and vice versa when it’s too warm.
The unit is energy-efficient due to its use of outside air. A heat pump will transfer outside air into the home to create the desired cooling or heating by the homeowner. Heat pumps have low electricity use compared to other heating systems, which can cause relief on your energy bill, leading to homeowners opting to replace their boiler with a heat pump.
Heat Pump Installation & Replacement
While heat pumps are able to be used for heating and cooling, they have a shorter shelf life than other heating and cooling options. The typical life of a heat pump is about 10 to 15 years. With that in mind, keep an eye on warning signs that you need heat pump replacement.
The most common signs that you need to replace your heat pump include:
- Your unit is older than 10 years
- Unusual increase in energy bill
- Odd or loud noises coming from your unit
- Repair costs have outgrown the cost of a new heat pump

Benefits of Upgrading to a Heat Pump
Switching your heating system can be a scary feeling. Luckily, switching to a heat pump gives you many benefits for your home. The most common benefits of installing a heat pump in your home include:
- Increased energy efficiency: Heat pumps transfer preexisting air rather than create heat. They are more energy-efficient.
- Lowered energy bill: Since they use less energy, you’ll spend less money on your energy bill.
- Year-round use of your system: Other HVAC options are limited to creating heat or cold, while heat pumps can do both. This allows you to get use of your unit for the entire year.
- Quiet system: Heat pumps are known for being quiet systems, removing the irritating background noises of other systems.
- Peace of mind about your home’s safety: While other HVAC systems use fuel, heating pumps don’t operate with fuel. This eliminates the risks that come with fuel-operated systems.
