We strongly recommend that you have maintenance done on your HVAC system twice a year: in the spring, for your cooling system, and in the fall, for your heating system. And we frequently warn our customers of the signs that a heating system needs repair, so problems won’t worsen, and can be easily fixed. These things will help your heating system last as long as possible. Be prepared by knowing uncommon heating issues you may face before they turn into costly breakdowns.

However, eventually, the day will come when you can no longer get that heating system to keep working, or you would have to invest a great deal in repairs to an old and failing system just to keep it running for a few months. That’s when you need a new heater! But when will it happen? We believe in the value of planning ahead, so let’s talk about how long you can expect a heating system to last before you need to replace it.

How long does a heat pump last with regular heating and air conditioning repair?

A well-maintained heat pump typically lasts 10 to 15 years. Scheduling professional heating and air conditioning repair twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, helps extend its lifespan, improve energy efficiency, and prevent costly breakdowns over time.

In Louisiana, we don’t use our heat as much of the year as many of our northern neighbors do. This means our heating systems don’t get as much wear and tear from constant use for several months, like the furnaces of our frozen friends in Maine or Minnesota. But does that mean we don’t need to pay much attention to our heating systems?

Despite our warmer climate, it does get cold enough in the winter here to cause some serious hazards if you don’t have a functional furnace. Health concerns and even frozen pipes could occur. Even in our area, it’s always worth taking excellent care of your heating system. This means you need a trusted, reliable heating contractor.

Although we live in a warm climate, we definitely do need our heat during a certain stretch of the year.
