Why regular service is very important. Avoid Costly Heat Pump Repair: Schedule Heat Pump Maintenance
Spring and fall are the best times to schedule preventive heat pump maintenance. Тhe weather is at its mildest, and the service prepares your heat pump for the upcoming heating and cooling seasons. While I recommend at least one annual visit per year for heat pumps, we do encourage a second visit as well since the system will be used for both heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. These visits should be timed to occur just before the beginning of each season and can be scheduled well in advance as part of an annual maintenance plan. Regularly maintaining the home heat pump provides the following benefits:- The heat pump operates more efficiently. Maintanance services that improve heat pump efficiency include changing the filter, sealing ductwork leaks and verifying proper refrigerant charge.
