Preventative Heat Pumps Maintenance

Benefits Of Heat Pump Maintenance

Regular heat pump maintenance is essential for keeping your home’s indoor environment comfortable and preventing unexpected breakdowns. Neglecting heat pump maintenance can negatively impact your system’s performance, leading to higher energy costs, more frequent repairs, and a shorter lifespan. Our specialists use our comprehensive heat pump maintenance checklist to help make sure your system is running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Below, we outline routine maintenance’s benefits on your heat pump, wallet, and comfort!

Increased Energy Efficiency & Savings

For many, one of the most compelling reasons to schedule routine heat pump maintenance is the money they can save on their energy bills. A well-maintained heat pump uses significantly less energy than a neglected one suffering from worn or unclean components. During routine heat pump maintenance, our experienced HVAC technicians clean and replace your system’s filters, check its refrigerant levels, and ensure your system is running efficiently, lowering your energy consumption and saving you money on your utility bills.

Prevent Costly Breakdowns

Increasing your heat pump’s energy efficiency isn’t the only way regular maintenance helps save you money! Routine heat pump maintenance can also save you money by preventing the need for unexpected, costly repairs. During a maintenance tune-up, our technicians inspect your heat pump for worn-out components, leaks, obstructions, and any other issues that could lead to a breakdown. Regular maintenance ensures issues are addressed early on and that your system continues to run smoothly all year round.

Warranty Validation

Routine maintenance is even more important if your heat pump is still under warranty. This is because many manufacturers require that homeowners have their heat pumps professionally serviced at least once a year to maintain the validity of their unit’s warranty. Neglecting heat pump maintenance can not only decrease your system’s health and efficiency, it could result in the voiding of your warranty.

Prolonged System Lifespan

Regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your heat pump. A properly maintained heat pump can provide your home with effective and efficient heating and cooling for up to 15 years, while units that don’t receive regular maintenance may only last for 5 to 10 years. Heat pumps are substantial yet worthwhile investments that you’ll want to get as much use out of as possible before it’s time for a replacement, so make sure to keep yours well-maintained.
