Heat Pump Service in Brentwood
If you have an older system or need expensive heat pump repair services, it’s an excellent time for an upgrade. Modern heat pumps are much more efficient than systems made over a decade ago. You may also be able to benefit from rebates and other energy incentives.
A new heat pump is also an excellent option if you currently have a traditional central AC and furnace pairing. The heat from a heat pump is generally much cheaper than the heat from a furnace. That’s true even for fuel-fired furnaces, which also present the risk of carbon monoxide exposure. We recommend a smart thermostat with every new installation and heat pump replacement. It can reduce annual cooling and heating costs by up to 10%. For personalized comfort and savings as high as 30%, we can install a zone control system.
Once we’ve installed your new heat pump, maximize that investment through seasonal maintenance. We recommend scheduling a cooling tune-up in the spring and a heating tune-up in the fall. Those services can lower your electricity bills, prevent repairs, promote better air quality, and extend the life of your equipment.
High electricity usage is often the first sign you need heat pump replacement or repair services. That’s why we encourage homeowners to track their electricity usage on a monthly and annual basis. You should also watch and listen for irregular cycling. A heat pump should cycle on two or three times an hour and run for about 10 to 15 minutes. Both longer and more frequent cycling can be signs of a significant underlying problem.
Monitor for these other signs you may need heat pump repair or replacement services.
- High humidity levels
- Uneven air distribution
- Loud or unusual noises
- Mustiness or other unpleasant smells
