When to Replace Your Heat Pump
If you’re searching for a “heat pump replacement service near me,” chances are something’s not right and you're trying to figure out what to do. Or, maybe another contractor recommended replacement, but you're still unsure. That's okay. It's good to ask questions!
At Guthrie & Sons, we help you make the right call—not the rushed one.
Heat pump repairs might make sense if:
- Your unit is under 10 years old
- Issues are minor and not happening often
- It still keeps your home reasonably comfortable
A heat pump replacement may be smarter if:
- Your system is 12–15+ years old
- Repairs are adding up or getting more serious
- You're paying more on energy bills but not experiencing the same level of comfort
We’ll look at everything and give you honest, expert guidance—so you can feel good about whatever you decide.

What to Expect When Replacing a Heat Pump System
If you’ve kept up with maintenance and tune-ups over the years, there’s a good chance your heat pump made it through its full lifespan—10 to 15 years, sometimes even longer. That also means it might’ve been a while since you last shopped for one.
Heat pump technology has come a long way, and we’re here to help you understand it all. Here’s what to expect during the heat pump replacement process—and what we recommend:
We don’t just guess based on square footage or copy the specs from your old unit. Our team takes time to understand how you use your home, how it’s insulated, and whether anything’s changed since your last system was installed.
We perform a Manual J load calculation to properly size your heat pump—because a system that’s too big or too small will cost you more and work harder than it should.
Heat pumps today come with a wide range of features—from variable-speed motors and inverter technology to smart thermostats and high-efficiency SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings.
We’ll walk you through what’s actually useful for your home, your habits, and our climate—not just what’s flashy.
Once you’ve selected your system, we handle everything—from removing the old equipment to installing the new indoor and outdoor units, running refrigerant and electrical lines
We’ll show you how to use your new system, answer any questions, and make sure everything is working perfectly. Once your install is done, we’re still your go-to team for service, maintenance, and repairs.
