The repair vs. replace decision for Los Altos heat pumps depends on age, repair cost, efficiency, and refrigerant type. Bay Area Climate Control applies the "$5,000 rule": multiply repair cost by system age. If it exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually smarter. Heat pumps over 12-15 years old with major component failures (compressor, coil) are often better replaced, especially systems using outdated R-22 refrigerant. Modern heat pumps offer superior efficiency, rebate eligibility, and use environmentally-friendly R-410A refrigerant. Our Los Altos technicians provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation.
