Do Heat Pumps Really Need Servicing?
Heat pumps are designed for efficiency and durability, but they still wear out over time.
Regular maintenance also has numerous benefits, such as:
- Maximize energy savings: A well-maintained heat pump operates more efficiently than one in disrepair, lowering energy bills and reducing your impact on the environment.
- Extend system lifespan: Routine maintenance helps us identify and address minor issues before they become major problems, potentially adding years to your heat pump's lifespan.
- Prevent costly breakdowns: Proactive maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, saving you from the inconvenience and expense of emergency repairs.
- Improve indoor air quality: Air quality services like regular filter and coil cleaning remove dust, allergens, and other pollutants, fostering a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
- Protect your investment: Many manufacturers require routine maintenance to uphold warranty coverage, safeguarding your investment in your heat pump system.
Your heat pump is a valuable asset, and our comprehensive maintenance plans are designed to keep it running smoothly.
How Often Should You Clean Heat Pump Coils
Cleaning your heat pump coils is a vital part of system upkeep, as dirty coils can significantly impact system efficiency (not to mention your comfort). We generally recommend having your coils checked and cleaned at least once a year, ideally during your annual maintenance visit.
However, specific cleaning frequency can vary depending on several factors:
- Environmental factors: If your heat pump is situated in a dusty or pollen-rich area or near vegetation, the coils may require more cleaning every few months.
- Usage patterns: Systems that are frequently used or subjected to extreme weather conditions may gather dirt and grime more rapidly. In this case, it is wise to schedule service every six months.
- Visible accumulation: If you observe dirt or debris buildup on the coils, it's a sign that it's time for cleaning, regardless of your next scheduled maintenance visit.
Proper maintenance of heat pump coils not only improves efficiency but also supports the longevity of your unit.
Keep your system operating at its best. Call (669) 322-8182 or contact us online to schedule heat pump maintenance in San Jose today.
