Why Regular Heat Pump Maintenance Matters
On average, a high-quality heat pump can last for 15 years or more. However, that can only happen with regular professional maintenance. It’s important to remember that your heat pump operates year-round, so it experiences more wear and tear than other HVAC systems. That can lead to premature component failures and system breakdowns. It can also affect your comfort, as your system works harder than it should to maintain your desired temperature.
For best results, your heat pump needs two annual maintenance visits. One should occur each spring to prepare your heat pump for the cooling season. The second should happen in the fall, before the heating season starts. We even offer a convenient energy savings agreement that includes the necessary annual visits. Plus, the agreement entitles you to priority services and discounts on a variety of other comfort services.

Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Maintenance
When your heat pump goes without maintenance, its performance and efficiency will degrade. Some estimates indicate a heat pump can lose up to 5% of its efficiency every year it goes without maintenance. At first, you may notice your system running for longer than it used to. Then, it may begin behaving strangely or refusing to turn on. That can indicate more serious issues stemming from the lack of maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Pump Maintenance
As local experts in heat pumps, we have the answers to any questions you may have about these systems. Here are answers to some of the questions area homeowners ask most often.
How Often Should I Schedule Maintenance?
Heat pumps require two maintenance visits per year for best results. You should schedule one before each heating and cooling season begins. That leaves enough time to take corrective action if our technician discovers a problem with your heat pump. That way, you’ll avoid emergency repairs while using your heat pump.
Can Maintenance Extend My System's Life?
Having regular maintenance by professionals is the single most important thing you can do to extend your heat pump’s service life. With proper maintenance, you can expect 15 or more years of reliable, efficient service from your heat pump. Otherwise, you might expect your heat pump to start having frequent breakdowns and noticeable efficiency declines before its 10th birthday.
Is Heat Pump Service Needed Year-Round?
Unlike stand-alone heating and cooling systems, you’ll use your heat pump for most of the year. That’s why you need two maintenance visits, which take the place of separate AC and furnace tune-ups. We typically have demand gaps in the spring and fall that make ideal opportunities for heat pump maintenance.
