Repair or Replace?

Heat pumps typically last 10–15 years. If your system is under 10 years old and the issue is a single failed component, repair is almost always worth it. If it’s older, has recurring problems, or refrigerant is being recharged repeatedly (usually a sign of an ongoing leak), replacement is the better long-term financial decision. A technician gives you a straight comparison on-site. For area-specific heat pump repair service, visit our heat pump repair in Simi Valley page.
