For more than 60 years, homeowners in New Haven County, CT, have turned to Air Specialties to install, repair, and maintain their heat pumps. Below, we’ve listed some of the Frequently Asked Questions we’ve encountered in our decades of experience as a trusted heat pump repair company serving North Haven, New Haven, East Haven, and the surrounding areas.
Ultimately, ductless heat pumps can last between 5 and 20 years — depending on many factors.
This comes down to the quality of the materials used to manufacture the heat pump. Quality craftsmanship and components go a long way in ensuring the machine that works with high levels of heat can stand the test of time.
Brands such as Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, and Daikin are all reputable manufacturers to consider when looking for a new ductless heat pump.
Check the length of the company warranty on any model that you want to buy. If the guarantee extends to 12 years or more, it’s a safe assumption that the machine will work for at least this length of time without worry.
Many high-quality brands are very efficient. If you’ve done your homework and researched several different heat pumps, you may have seen the correlation between price and quality. For this reason, it’s a safe assumption that cost is a valid indicator of longevity when it comes to these products.
That said, many people still choose to buy cheap, less reliable products.
Let’s imagine that you pay a heating company $2,000 for them to install a heat pump one weekend, and this heat pump has a 4-7 year lifespan.
Now, let’s imagine that one of our HVAC professionals came out and fitted a brand new, state-of-the-art Fujitsu heat pump for you with a 12-year warranty.
With the number of repairs and maintenance the first heat pump will require, you’ll save money installing the second option. With premium units being more efficient, you’ll also save cash on energy bills during the fall and winter.

Boiler maintenance is essential for ensuring that your boiler is in a safe, reliable, and efficient condition. A faulty or incorrectly fitted boiler can be a severe danger to you and your family. Below, we’ve listed the benefits of calling the experienced professionals at Air Specialties for boiler maintenance service.
The more frequently you have your boiler maintained, the fewer repairs you will need, and the less often you will have to replace your boiler. By investing in annual maintenance, any problems that your boiler has developed can be fixed before they develop into serious issues that warrant a new boiler. Additionally, if you catch an issue early enough, repairs will take half the time. This will save you from taking time off work, and ultimately save you cash.
With regular boiler maintenance, any faults or damage identified can be quickly fixed. This helps to ensure that your boiler operates with optimum efficiency for most of the year. A boiler that performs at a high level will also help you to save money on your heating bills!
Due to inactivity across the spring and summer, boiler breakdowns are more likely during the winter months. A failed boiler will be a big problem when the temperatures drop, and it starts to frost outside. Maintenance is essential to ensure that your heating system can meet the demands of the winter season and keep your family comfortable.
The primary benefit of regular boiler maintenance is safety. Although gas leaks are very unlikely, a defective boiler will produce carbon monoxide, a deadly gas that has no scent and no color. If carbon monoxide leaks into your home, it can lead to poisoning and death in some cases.
Keeping a well-maintained boiler will significantly reduce the chances of a gas leak. For more information or to schedule a gas boiler tune-up, contact the team at Air Specialties.
