How Long Do Heat Pumps Last?

Heat pumps typically last up to 10 to 20 years. Most heat pumps usually last up to 15 years, depending on frequent usage. New units are more reliable and don't require frequent repairs. With proper professional maintenance, your unit could last a few more years.

The Difference Between a Heat Pump & Furnace

Maybe you are new to an area that has cold winters or maybe you have never thought about it, but there are actually a few differences between a heat pump and a furnace.

The biggest difference is how the heat is sourced or created, but here is a more detailed view:

• Heat production – A furnace burns oil or gas or is powered with electricity. The heat created is then pumped through the home. A heat pump, on the other hand, uses refrigerant to transfer heat from outside to the inside of your home. Although it may feel cold outside, there can still be heat in the air which is trapped by the refrigerant
• Efficiency – Furnaces used to be extremely inefficient but newer models have a 98% efficiency. But because of the way heat pumps produce heat, they are extremely more efficient—up to 300%—basically using one unit of electricity to move three units of heat.

There is just one downside to a heat pump, and that is once temperatures drop below 25-30 degrees, a backup unit may be required.

Benefits of Heat Pumps

As mentioned, heat pumps are far more efficient than furnaces as long as the temperature stays above 25-30 degrees. Being more efficient means that you will save a good bit of money on your electricity bills. Aside from this, heat pumps can double as air conditioners in the summer, they provide consistent heating and cooling, and electric pumps are very eco-friendly.

The biggest drawback to a heat pump is the need for a secondary heating system. However, a heat pump can provide consistent and even warmth when temperatures are within the proper limits.
