Common signs you need heat pump help
If your heat pump is:
- Blowing cold or weak air
- Making strange noises or smells
- Struggling to reach set temperatures
- Causing your power bill to spike
…it is time to book a service or inspection. Sometimes, it is a quick fix. Other times, it may be more cost-effective to replace the system with a new, energy-efficient model. At Hiko Heating, you will get honest advice from local experts. No pushy sales talk, just the best solution for your home.
How often should you service a heat pump?
At a minimum, heat pumps should be professionally serviced once a year. For homes that run their systems heavily during both summer and winter, a six-monthly check is ideal. Regular servicing keeps your heat pump running smoothly, prevents costly breakdowns and extends its lifespan. It also improves air quality by cleaning filters that trap dust and allergens, which is especially important during winter when windows stay closed.
Thinking about replacing your heat pump?
Older heat pumps can struggle to keep up with today’s winter demands. If your system is more than 8 to 10 years old, it might be time for a heat pump replacement. Newer units from brands like Mitsubishi, Daikin or Fujitsu are designed for New Zealand conditions and offer faster heating with lower power usage.
