\"Air-conditioner-repairman\"Fall is one of the times when your home\u2019s heat pump will get a break. A heat pump works to both heat and cool a house, so between the summer and winter it won\u2019t need to work as often.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But while your heat pump stays dormant for a stretch, we recommend you think about whether it\u2019s ready for another round of cold weather. We don\u2019t mean scheduling regular maintenance for it: that\u2019s something you should do every fall with a heat pump. We mean considering <\/span>replacing<\/span><\/i> your heat pump because it\u2019s past the point where maintenance or repairs are effective. It\u2019s always better to replace a failing heat pump before it breaks down completely. That way you can avoid becoming trapped without your central comfort system and paying high costs to run the heat pump during its last year or so.<\/span><\/p>\n
