Your AC is getting old and your furnace is even older. Someone mentioned a heat pump could replace both, maybe with a rebate, and now you want a straight answer on whether it'll actually keep up in July.
How does a heat pump work?
A heat pump moves heat instead of creating it. In summer it pulls heat out of your home and releases it outside, exactly like an air conditioner. In winter it reverses and brings heat from the outdoor air inside. Because it moves heat rather than burning fuel, it's very efficient in mild climates like the Coachella Valley.
How long does a heat pump last in the desert?
Most heat pumps here last about 10 to 15 years. Because they run in both summer and winter, yearly maintenance matters even more than with an AC-only system.
Signs your heat pump needs attention
Not cooling or heating
The system runs but your home doesn't reach the set temperature.
Ice that won't clear
Some frost in winter is normal; a unit encased in ice is not.
Runs nonstop
Constant running can mean low refrigerant or a failing part.
Loud or unusual noise
Grinding, rattling or a loud reversing valve can signal trouble.
Bills climbing
A heat pump should save energy. Rising bills mean it isn't working right.
Emergency heat always on
Backup heat running all the time is expensive and points to a problem.

Heat Pumps questions
Answers from our Palm Desert team. Serving Palm Desert, Palm Springs, La Quinta, Indio and 10 more cities.
Does a heat pump work in the Coachella Valley?
Yes. Our long cooling season and mild winters make heat pumps an efficient choice for heating and cooling with one system.

Can a heat pump replace my furnace?
In many desert homes, yes. A heat pump can provide all your heating and cooling, and we'll tell you honestly if it's the right fit.
Why is my heat pump covered in ice?
Light frost in winter is normal and clears in defrost mode. Heavy ice that doesn't clear can mean an airflow, refrigerant or defrost control problem.
