ShareHEAT PUMP SERVICE TRENDS IN ALABAMA.
Author(s) : LOVVORN N. C.
Summary
THE PAPER IS BASED ON DATA GATHERED FROM ACTUAL SERVICE RECORDS OF HEAT PUMPS UNDER SERVICE CONTRACT. THE MAINTENANCE CONTRACT PROGRAM WAS FOR 20 YEARS. RECORDS ARE KEPT ON EACH SERVICE CALL DURING THE CONTRACT PERIOD, WHICH EXTENDS FROM THE FIRST THROUGH THE TENTH YEAR OF OPERATION. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS INCLUDE: HEAT PUMP RELIABILITY HAS IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY IN THE PAST 20 YEARS ; COMPRESSOR FAILURE RATES ARE AT RECORD LOW LEVELS ; AND THE COST PER SERVICE CALL REFLECTS A SIGNIFICANT EXPENDITURE TO THE HOMEOWNER. THE COST OF MAINTENANCE FOR A HEAT PUMP IN 1987 IS LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT IT WAS 10 YEARS AGO.
