Should I repair or replace my heat pump in Los Gatos?
The repair vs. replace decision for Los Gatos 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12-15 years old with major component failures (compressor, coil) are often better replaced, especially systems using outdated R-22 refrigerant.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 Gatos technicians provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation.
What are common heat pump problems in Los Gatos?
Common heat pump issues in Los Gatos include refrigerant leaks, reversing valve malfunctions, frozen coils, failed capacitors, defrost control problems, auxiliary heat issues, and compressor failures. Heat pumps work year-round in Los Gatos, providing cooling in summer and heating in winter, which means more wear than single-function systems. Regular maintenance prevents many problems.
