Heat pumps use refrigerant to transfer heat energy. It’s what allows these systems to cool a home in the summer and heat it in the winter. A heat pump doesn’t consume refrigerant over time. It’s a closed system, and refrigerant can, in theory, last forever.

Leaks in that sealed system are possible, though. If a leak occurs, you’ll lose refrigerant, and pressure in the system will drop. Some leaks are major. You may experience pooling refrigerant near your outdoor condenser unit. In that case, the heat pump has likely turned off and won’t turn back on.

Most leaks aren’t that dramatic. In fact, fixing micro-leaks is a common heat pump repair. In these scenarios, the system is losing only a small amount and can run like that for a long time. At some point, though, this will lead to issues. Your electricity consumption will go up. You may also experience weak airflow and cold and warm spots in your rooms.

Can a refrigerant leak lead to heat pump replacement? It can. That said, most refrigerant leaks are fixable, and we can then recharge the system to run efficiently. Age is a consideration. If you have an older system, heat pump installation may be the better choice. This is particularly true if your system uses R-22 refrigerant. Production of R-22 is no longer legal in the United States. The U.S. has moved on to R410A. Since R-22 production isn’t allowed, recharging an R-22 system can be very expensive.

Watch for these other signs you may have a refrigerant leak.
