Heat Pump Maintenance
In South Carolina, every Spartanburg homeowner and business owner should be aware of potential issues with their heat pump so they can know when to call for Furnace Repair experts.
Regular heating system checkups are crucial for maintaining the health of your system. The ideal times to schedule these checkups are in the fall before winter and in the spring before it gets too hot.

What’s the Difference Between a Heat Pump and an Air Conditioner?
Heat pumps and air conditioners both cool the air in your home, but they operate differently. And only heat pumps can produce both warm and cool air, depending on what your home needs.
Both systems deliver cool air to your home by running air over refrigerant and removing heat from that air. The cooling technology is basically identical in either type of system.
But heat pumps can do double duty, providing cool air when it’s hot outside and warm air when it’s cold out. This is possible thanks to the reversing valve, a component that allows a heat pump system to essentially run in reverse.
Heat pumps are much more energy efficient than other forms of heating, and you’ll certainly save money buying one system compared to buying an independent air conditioner and gas heater. Be aware that heat pumps don’t produce as much heat as a gas furnace can, and they don’t work very well in extreme cold. Thankfully, here in the Upstate a heat pump is all most people need to stay comfortable in winter.
Pricing
A whole-home heat pump system ranges from $2000 to $8000, including installation. If you need to cool only a single room or small space, a window unit or a ductless split AC may be more affordable, but will also typically be less efficient (costing you more in utilities down the road). Heat pumps are much more energy efficient and will help you save on energy costs.
Maintenance
Maintenance and repair costs are almost the same with air conditioners and heat pumps. Btu heat pumps still tend to be a more economical option because you don’t have to pay for maintenance on a separate heating system.
Lifespan
Many factors affect the lifespan of both a heat pump and an air conditioner (including using the right size and power of unit for the space you’re conditioning). The span of service of an AC is usually a little longer because it runs only during warm seasons, unlike the double-purpose heat pump that keeps running during both warm and cold seasons.
Choosing the right heating and cooling solution for your home or business is an important decision: these systems affect your comfort, quality of life, and energy bills.
Most residential customers in South Carolina choose heat pumps thanks to our relatively mild winters. The Upstate Home Maintenance team is ready to guide you through the process of choosing the right type of system for your home — and the specific model and unit size that makes sense for your space.
