HVAC systems need maintenance to maintain their efficiency and extend their lifespan. The same goes for your heat pump. If you use your heat pump as both a heating and cooling source, it will need both fall and spring maintenance. It should be maintained once a year if it is used for only one purpose.
Now is the best time to make an appointment for heat pump fall maintenance, before the temperatures drop. Our team of professional HVAC contractors will be at your home to set up your heat pump so you are warm in the cooler months.
Benefits of Maintaining Your Heat Pump
It’s common to hear that your heat pump should have fall maintenance. But does this really make a difference? Absolutely! You can reap many benefits by keeping up with your heat pump care and maintenance schedules. You will enjoy lower energy costs. Your heat pump will run more efficiently if it is maintained and maintained properly. It will use more energy if it works harder. This can lead to higher utility bills.
You will also save money on unexpected heat pump repairs. Any parts that need to be replaced or worn out will be noted by one of our technicians at your appointment. These parts can be replaced quickly and regularly to avoid your heat pump from breaking down or causing you additional costs.
The long-term benefit of regularly maintaining equipment is a longer life expectancy. Your heat pump will last longer if it is taken care of like any other equipment. This will save you money by replacing your heat pump later than expected.
