Book AppointmentBenefits of a Heat Pump Tune Up
Many people put off heat pump tune up maintenance until something breaks. This is not a good habit. Heat pump tune ups are essential and shouldn’t be put off since your system works so hard all year long. Some of the benefits of a heat pump tune up include:
Lowering Energy Bills
A heat pump tune up returns your unit to top performance levels. This means your system works more efficiently and will need less energy to keep your home comfortable. Rising energy bills are a big sign that you’ve put off heat pump maintenance for too long.
Fewer Breakdowns
Breakdowns are more likely to happen in systems that have been neglected versus systems that have been properly maintained. Like your car, if you never change your oil, eventually your car will break down on you. The same is true for your heat pump. If you neglect it for too long, it will stop working at some point, often at a very inconvenient time. Keep your heat pump happy with regular maintenance.
Catching Potential Issues Early
The biggest reason we encourage our customers to schedule heat pump tune ups is because they are a great way to prevent breakdowns at the most inconvenient times. Your experienced technician will be able to detect potential problems and fix them before they grow into expensive repairs.
Prolonging Your Unit’s Lifespan
Heat pumps tend to last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. If your heat pump isn’t very old, but you’ve had many heat pump repair calls, regular heat pump tune ups can help reestablish the lifespan of your system. Take good care of your heat pump, and it will take good care of you.
Services Included In a Heat Pump Tune Up
During a heat pump tune up, you can expect your technician to perform the following services to make sure your unit is working at peak performance:
- Checking and changing the air filter
- Oiling motors and checking the belt for wear, adjusting the tension if necessary
- Inspecting electrical components inside the indoor air handler and outdoor condenser
- Cleaning the evaporator coil and the outdoor condensing coil and fins
- Measuring and refilling the refrigerant
- Evaluating the ductwork and sealing leaks
- Testing the accuracy of the thermostat
Be sure to let your technician know of any issues you’re currently experiencing with your heat pump. If your system works to both heat and cool your home, you’ll want to schedule two heat pump tunes ups. Schedule one in the early fall before you need your heat pump to keep your home warm, and again in the early spring so your heat pump will be ready to cool your home.
