How Does a Heat Pump Work?
Heat pumps are versatile HVAC systems that offer both heating and cooling for year-round comfort. During winter, heat pumps draw heat from the outside air and transfer it indoors. In the summer, the process is reversed as the system takes warm air from inside your home and sends it outside.
Because heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, they’re far more energy-efficient than furnaces, especially in our climate.
Signs You Need Heat Pump Replacement
Knowing when it’s time to replace your heat pump can help you prepare accordingly and avoid unnecessary disruptions to your comfort.
These are some of the biggest signs that it’s time to consider a heat pump replacement:
- System age: If your unit is over 10 years old, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
- Repair frequency: If you’re scheduling heat pump repairs more frequently, you may need an upgrade soon.
- Reduced efficiency: If you’ve experienced a sharp decline in efficiency, your system may not be worth repairing.
- Repair cost: If your heat pump repairs cost 50% or more than the cost of an upgrade, a replacement may be more cost-effective.
Factors To Consider When Choosing a New Heat Pump
When choosing a new heat pump system for your home, it’s important to keep these factors in mind:
- Home size: Consider the square footage of your home and its layout to ensure the system can adequately heat and cool the space.
- Efficiency rating: Heat pump heating efficiency is measured by heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF) and cooling efficiency is measured by seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). The higher the HSPF and SEER ratings, the greater your energy efficiency and savings over time.
- Installation budget: Factor in your budget, balancing upfront costs with long-term operational savings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do heat pumps last?
Because heat pumps both heat and cool your home, their lifespan tends to be shorter compared to traditional HVAC equipment. With twice-annual maintenance, heat pumps typically last 10 to 15 years.
Do I need a furnace with my heat pump?
While dual-fuel heating is recommended for areas with colder climates due to the reduced efficiency of heat pump systems during below-freezing weather, with Jacksonville’s moderate winters, families can rely solely on a heat pump for their heating needs during winter.
Can I install a heat pump myself?
No — heat pump installations are complex projects. Without the proper tools or training, you can end up doing more harm than good when attempting to install a heat pump system on your own.
