This summer we have enjoyed sunny, 30 degree days and you have probably thought “I should really make sure my heat pump is working properly.” No, just us? We at Reliable Heat Pump Services Ltd. absolutely recommend that you take advantage of the clear days to inspect and maintain the equipment which you will rely on to keep you warm all winter long.
Regular heat pump preventative maintenance will maintain your unit’s efficiency, operation, and overall comfort and air quality. Whether it’s an indoor or outdoor unit, checking in on your heat pump while the temperatures are warm is far more convenient than assessing the issue in the snow! The frequency in which service repair and maintenance should be done on a heat pump often depends on the model and age of the heat pump. Customers often wait until they notice a problem with their heat pump system, or find that something is not providing the heat that it once did.
At Reliable Heat Pump Services we recommend that all models five years old and older receive an annual maintenance check performed by accredited professionals. This is a service that we offer throughout the year, however, we do advise that all preventative maintenance checks on heating pumps are made no later than the fall to avoid discomfort in the winter. As this is done in the warmer months, we call this a “Pre-Heating Maintenance Inspection.”
Conversely, August is usually when we see our warmest weather! If you feel like your heat pump is not cooling your home as much or as effectively as you would expect, we can do a maintenance check on it anytime!
During a heat pump inspection, our technicians will check over the entire HVAC system to make sure everything is operating within the designed specifications. They will inspect the refrigeration circuit and check for any wear, tear or damage on any components, and make sure your heating and cooling needs are met with ease.
Before booking a service, we always recommend that you check to ensure your indoor unit air filters are clean in a mini-split system, or that the return/furnace filters are clean in a central system. We also suggest double-checking your thermostat/controller to make sure the settings are correct. If this has been done and you are still experiencing issues or discomfort – call us!
We service all makes and models of heat pumps regardless if we were the original installer.
