Salt Lake City homes need heating and cooling they can count on in every season. Many Salt Lake City families choose heat pumps because they provide both heating in the winter and cooling in the summer.
Over time, though, these units wear down. If your heat pump is struggling to keep up, running nonstop, or driving your utility bills higher each month, it may be time for a replacement.
Scott Hale Heating, Air & Plumbing provides professional heat pump replacement across SLC, helping homeowners choose the right new system and install it with care.
We are open on weekends!
Is It Time for a New Heat Pump?
Replacing a heat pump is a big decision, but there are clear times when it makes sense. You may want to start planning for a new heat pump if:
- Your system is more than 10 to 15 years old.
- Repairs are becoming frequent or the latest one costs nearly as much as a new unit.
- Energy bills keep climbing even after routine maintenance.
- The house never feels as warm or cool as it used to.
- Your system uses an outdated refrigerant that is harder to find and more expensive.
- You want an energy-efficient option that saves money long-term.
Upgrading to a new heat pump system now can mean fewer headaches later and a more comfortable home through every season.
Signs You Need a New Heat Pump System
Some problems are strong indicators that repair is no longer the best option. Call for replacement if you notice:
- The unit runs constantly but cannot reach the temperature you set.
- The system starts and stops repeatedly, putting stress on major components.
- Grinding, rattling, or buzzing noises coming from the unit.
- Hot and cold spots in different rooms that never even out.
- Ice is forming on the outdoor unit during winter, even after defrost cycles.
- Musty smells or poor indoor air quality are linked to the system.
- Frequent service calls add up to a significant expense.
When several of these signs appear together, it usually means the system is nearing the end of its useful life.

FAQs
What is the average lifespan of a heat pump?
Most heat pumps last 10 to 15 years. With regular maintenance, some last even longer.
How do I know if I need a new heat pump system?
If your system is older, unreliable, or costing more to repair and run than it is worth, it is time to start planning for replacement.
What is the most common problem with heat pumps?
Airflow issues and refrigerant leaks are common. In older systems, these problems tend to show up together, making replacement a better option than repeated repairs.
Is it better to repair or replace my heat pump?
Minor repairs are fine for newer systems. If your unit is older and the repair bill is close to half the cost of a replacement, a new heat pump is usually the smarter investment.
Will a new heat pump lower my energy bills?
Yes. Modern heat pumps are far more efficient and can significantly cut monthly heating and cooling costs.
