When your dependable heat pump begins to misbehave, it can really put a monkey wrench in your plans—especially during the arctic months here in Wisconsin. One minute it’s running smoothly, the next it's producing strange sounds that could test anyone's resolve not to just toss the darned thing out the window. It's blowing air that is, at best, tepid, when it should be blasting warmth; it's as if your heat pump has suddenly become a cool pump—without any good reason to be doing so.
If this is going on at your house, well, don't panic; many folks have been there and done that. Our team understands how intensely frustrating this little uh-oh can be.
There is nothing like waking up on a brisk morning expecting a stream of warmth to greet you but instead getting a draft. It’s the kind of eye-opening surprise that no one asks for but many experience at some point. If you find that your heat pump is running non-stop, don't jump to the conclusion that it's on the fritz.

Sometimes, it's a clogged filter that's doing a bad impersonation of a pump that can breathe. Sometimes, it's too much love from surrounding foliage. Sometimes, the pump needs a little space to do its job.

Caledonia's heat pump repair services mostly range from $150 to $600, with the average coming in at about $375. We found near the lower end of the spectrum, down around $150, heat pump repairs for blown fuses, faulty thermostats, and other electrical problems. More common issues with the heat pump itself, like a broken fan or issues with the coils, pushed the averages up toward the $600 range.
The problem of having a refrigerant leak in a heat pump is a significant one. This particular can really stop a heat pump from doing either its heating or cooling job and can also make it work much harder (and use more energy) while it's trying to do one of those jobs. Also, if the refrigerant gets too low, the heat pump can use so much energy that it burns out the compressor, which is basically the heart of the unit. That's one reason you should have a technician inspect and repair any refrigerant leak. But it's not the only reason.
In Caledonia, the life expectancy of a heat pump tends to be about 10 to 15 years, with some variance due to maintenance, usage, and climate. Servicing and care can help drive that number toward the higher end of the range.
The $5000 rule for HVAC serves as a guideline for homeowners who find themselves at the crossroads of either repairing or replacing their HVAC systems. To use this rule, multiply the age of the unit by the estimated repair cost. If the number you get exceeds $5000, it is generally more cost-effective to replace the unit. This rule is equally useful in considering the two sides of the HVAC repair or replace dilemma—half of the rule accounts for the cost of repairs as an HVAC system ages, and the other half considers that a new, more efficient system will likely save money in the long run.
Replacing a heat pump compressor in Caledonia generally runs between $1,200 and $2,500. This figure encompasses the cost of the compressor and the labor needed to install it. Still, a number of factors can influence the final price, including the model of heat pump, the labor rates in the area, and any parts or services needed to complete the job.
A heat pump can go bad for a number of reasons. Here are several of them: 1. **Refrigerant leaks.** 2. **Electrical issues.** 3. **Malfunctioning thermostat.** 4. **Poor maintenance.** * This includes filters or coils that are too dirty. 5. **Old age and wear and tear.** * Parts like the compressor can fail after a certain amount of use. 6. **Extreme weather.** * If something bad is going to happen to your heat pump, it's more likely to happen due to climate-induced stress.
To ascertain whether your heat pump's compressor is faulty, check for the following: signs of trouble such as loud banging or clanking noises that are unusual for the unit, not enough heat being produced by the unit despite running it for longer than usual, frequent tripping of the circuit breaker that regulates power to the heat pump, warm air coming from the unit instead of the cool air it should be producing, and a shaking or vibrating outdoor unit (which may not be so unusual, given the way outdoor units have to handle extreme conditions). If you see (or hear) these signs, contact a heat pump technician ASAP. Compressors don't usually fix themselves.
Generally, the upfront cost of replacing only the compressor of a heat pump is lower than that of replacing the entire unit. The price-performance ratio, of course, hinges on the age and condition of the existing system, warranty salvageability, and the future flip side of the maintenance coin—repair potential. If your system is of recent vintage and is relatively problem-free, replacing only the compressor could be an option. If your system is older or prone to hiccups, though, it might make more sense to replace the whole unit, since the new one would presumably be more reliable and efficiently perform to the end of its useful life.
In Caledonia, the typical cost for a heat pump refrigerant replacement runs from $100 to $300. This price depends mainly on the labor rate, the type of refrigerant used, and the amount of refrigerant required. Heat pumps that employ R-22 refrigerant (common in older systems) have replacement costs that may be as high as $600, a price inflated due to the refrigerant's phase-out and resultant scarcity.
A sign of a faulty heat pump compressor is the absence of production of hot or cold air. The unit may run but fails to effectively heat or cool the space in question. Also, if you hear any kind of unusual noises from the outdoor unit, such as excessive rattling or banging, it's a good bet that the compressor is having issues.
