Need Heat Pump Replacement in Seattle? We’re Here to Help!
A heat pump is a versatile HVAC system that moves air from one place to another. Unlike other systems, a heat pump takes in heat from the air or ground through an outdoor unit and transfers it to an indoor unit. This process is ideal for climates like Seattle which experiences a wide range of temperatures in a single year. With a heat pump, you can lounge in comfort with the home temperature you want—no matter the season.
Like all machines, heat pumps will age. If your heat pump has reached the 10-year mark, it’s time to consider a replacement. Replacing your older heat pump with a modern unit guarantees comfort for years to come. This means faster, precise temperature control with even better energy efficiency.

Heat Pump Replacement FAQs
Here are some common questions our customers have about their heat pumps and the services we provide.
In general, a heat pump should be replaced once it reaches 10 to 15 years old. As the pump gets older, its effectiveness and efficiency may start to decline.
A standard heat pump replacement typically takes around 3 to 4 hours. This number can increase when factoring in items like installation additions like ductwork.
The signs to look out for include:
- Sudden rises in your utility bills
- Frequent repairs
- Poor air quality
- Strange loud noises during the operation
- Humidity problems throughout the home
These problems indicate that your current system has begun declining in its effectiveness. Replacing it with a new model will eliminate these problems, increasing your comfort by a large margin.
Yes, it can. Replacing your pump with a modern model gives substantial upgrades to energy efficiency, allowing for faster comfort while using less power.
In some cases, only the outdoor unit needs to be replaced. However, replacing both units is recommended as it allows you to upgrade all areas of the heat pump, giving you better energy efficiency and overall functionality.
The cost can range between $3,000 and $6,000. Additional charges come from installing or replacing other items like ductwork.
