What Are the Key Differences Between Heat Pumps and Furnaces?

If you’re in the market for new heating, note that heat pumps and furnaces differ.

Furnaces generate heat by burning fuel or using electricity. A heat pump, on the other hand, absorbs heat from the outside air and moves it indoors. Both have their advantages.

Heat pumps also provide both heating and cooling in one system, while furnaces are solely for heating and are paired with an air conditioner. Since there aren’t two separate systems that need attention, maintenance can often be simpler and less frequent with a pump.

How Do Experts Plan Your Heat Pump Installation?

Planning is an important first step in heat pump installation to ensure the system is the right fit for your space. We need to assess factors like your property’s size, insulation, and electrical capacity to determine the best unit for consistent performance.

We’ll start by calculating your heating and cooling loads, selecting the right unit size, and ensuring proper placement of the indoor and outdoor components. Before the actual installation begins, we can also discuss additional features for advanced temperature control.

What Size Heat Pump Does Your Household Need?

No two homes are alike, so it makes sense that the size of the heat pump you need depends on more than just how big your house is. Things like how well your home is insulated, how many windows you have, and even the weather in your area all play a part.

If the heat pump is too small, it’ll run all the time and won’t keep you comfortable. If it’s too big, it might turn on and off too often, which isn’t great for your energy bill or the system’s lifespan.

The best way to figure out the right size is to have our professionals take a look. We’ll check out your home’s layout and other details to make a recommendation. Getting the right size means your home stays cozy all year without wasting energy or overworking the system.

What Heat Pump Repairs Require a Professional?

Some minor issues, like adjusting thermostat settings or resetting a tripped breaker, don’t necessarily require professional help. However, when the issue is more complex, especially when it involves refrigerant levels or mechanical failures, you can call our experts to diagnose and fix it properly.

A failing reversing valve is one such example. This component controls whether the heat pump provides heating or cooling. If it gets stuck or malfunctions, the system may blow cold air when you need heating or vice versa. We have the specialized tools and expertise to replace or repair it.

Here are a few other problems we can help with:

• Replacing a faulty capacitor
• Repairing a malfunctioning blower motor
• Fixing a stuck or damaged expansion valve
• Replacing a failed fan motor
• Repairing a broken compressor

Should You Leave Your Heat Pump On 24/7?

You turn off your lights when you leave the house, so why wouldn’t you do the same with your heat pump? It seems like a smart way to save energy, but heat pumps actually work a little differently than other heating and cooling systems. Instead of blasting hot or cold air in short bursts, they’re designed to run steadily and maintain a consistent temperature. Turning them off completely can make them work harder—and use more energy—when you switch them back on.

That said, you don’t need to run your heat pump full blast 24/7. It’s more about finding a balance. Adjusting the temperature slightly when you’re away or sleeping can help with energy savings without overworking the system. A programmable or smart thermostat can make this easier by handling the adjustments for you. So while it’s fine to leave your heat pump on most of the time, it’s all about how you manage the temperature settings, not just whether it’s on or off.

How Often Should You Invest in Heat Pump Maintenance?

Regular HVAC maintenance helps your system run efficiently and last longer. We recommend scheduling heat pump maintenance once or twice a year.

Our maintenance work includes:

• Checking and replacing air filters
• Inspecting refrigerant levels
• Cleaning coils and components
• Testing thermostat settings
• Examining electrical connections
• Lubricating moving parts
• Making sure the system cycles properly

Do Heat Pumps Need Regular Refrigerant Charging?

While you won’t need to charge your heat pump’s refrigerant on a regular schedule, that doesn’t mean it never needs attention. Heat pumps are closed systems, so under normal conditions, the refrigerant should stay at the same level for the life of the unit. If you’re low on refrigerant, it usually means there’s a leak somewhere in the system—which is something a technician should inspect and fix right away.

Low refrigerant can make your heat pump less efficient and even cause damage over time. So while regular “topping off” isn’t part of normal maintenance, it’s a good idea to schedule routine maintenance sessions to catch any issues early. If your heat pump isn’t heating or cooling like it used to, or if it’s making strange noises, low refrigerant could be the reason.
