Lifespan of a Heat Pump
On average, the life expectancy of a heat pump is around 15-20 years, but with proper care and regular maintenance, it can function optimally for up to 25 years. Several factors can influence the longevity of your heat pump, including its type, the climate in your area, and how well it is maintained.
Heat Pump Installation and Essential Maintenance
Securing a long and efficient life for your heat pump starts with a professional installation. When done correctly, this mitigates problems like low cooling output and inefficient operation. Then, maintaining your heat pump is crucial for the best performance.
Here’s a checklist of maintenance items that are integral to maximizing a central heating pump’s life expectancy:
- System Checks: Regular checks for system wear and tear help prevent potential breakdowns.
- Filter Replacement: Dirty filters can restrict airflow. Replacing filters every 1-3 months is recommended.
- Coil Inspection: The heat pump’s coil needs to be inspected and cleaned as necessary to ensure optimal performance.
- Lubrication: Some parts may need lubrication to reduce friction and prevent unnecessary wear.
The Key to a Longer-Lasting Heat Pump
The life expectancy of a heat pump involves various factors, but as a homeowner, your actions play a significant role. By choosing professional installation and sticking to a regular maintenance schedule, you can maximize your heat pump’s lifespan.
