This page explains how to decide if replacement is right for you, compares options (including high-efficiency and Daikin Fit systems), covers removal and disposal, outlines costs and financing/rebate support, estimates real savings in our local conditions, and walks through a realistic timeline.

When to Consider Replacing Your Heat Pump (Evaluation Criteria)

Replace when one or more applies:

• The system is 10–15 years old and needs frequent repairs
• Seasonal efficiency and comfort have declined — higher bills without better performance
• It uses phased-out refrigerant (e.g., R-22) or compressor failure makes repair uneconomical
• The unit struggles with even temperatures, runs constantly, or makes unusual noises/odors
• Home changes (additions, finished basements, remodeled ducts) make capacity inadequate
• You want better humidity control, quieter operation, or zoned comfort

Mr. Breeze Heating & Cooling starts every replacement decision with a thorough evaluation of your existing equipment, ductwork, insulation, and comfort goals — plus a precise Manual J load calculation.
