Single-Stage, Two-Stage or Variable-Speed?
Single-stage, two-stage and variable-speed heat pumps all heat and cool. The difference is how smoothly they run and how well they handle humidity.
| Type | How It Runs | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Single-stage | On or off at full power | Tight budgets, smaller homes |
| Two-stage | Low most of the time, high when needed | Better comfort and humidity control |
| Variable-speed | Adjusts output in small steps | Best humidity control, lowest bills, quietest |

When Is It Time to Replace Your Heat Pump?
Five Clear Signs
It's time to replace your heat pump when it's 12 to 15 years old and needs a major part, uses R-22 refrigerant, needs repairs every season or leaves the heat strips doing much of the heating.
| Sign | Why It Points to Replacement |
|---|---|
| 12 to 15+ years old | Near the end of heat pump life in the Lowcountry |
| Reversing valve or compressor failed | Major repair on an aging system |
| R-22 refrigerant | Costly to recharge |
| Repairs every season | Costs add up in both seasons |
| Heat strips run often | Heat pump losing capacity |
How Long Do Heat Pumps Last in the Lowcountry?
Heat pumps in the Lowcountry usually last 10 to 15 years. They run in both seasons, so they wear faster than an AC that only cools.
- Regular maintenance pushes them toward 15.
- Salt air near the coast shortens outdoor coil life.
- Variable-speed units often run gentler and last longer.
