Why Heat Pump Maintenance Is Important

Owners of heat pump systems rely on their equipment for heating in cold weather and air conditioning during summer. The harsh winter conditions Montanans experience mean heat pumps work hard all year long.

Because of the stress a heat pump system experiences, regular maintenance is about more than just keeping a system operational — it’s about increasing efficiency, reducing utility costs, and extending the useful lifespan of your system.

Properly maintained heat pumps can operate up to 25% more efficiently in all seasons. Regular maintenance also helps to head off mechanical or electrical issues before they become problems.

A properly maintained modern heat pump can last up to 20 years. In addition to helping to avoid repair bills, regular professional maintenance will help you get the maximum return on your investment in a heat pump and will keep you in compliance with most manufacturers’ warranty requirements.

Professionally cleaned and maintained heat pumps provide higher-quality indoor air in all seasons. Our maintenance programs help reduce indoor dust and debris and improve humidity control, increasing comfort and reducing the risk of mold and mildew.

What To Expect During Heat Pump Maintenance Service

Our technicians deep clean the interior components of your heat pump system that are not accessible to homeowners during ordinary household cleaning.

We also conduct a detailed inspection of your heat pump system to ensure it is operating properly and at top efficiency.

Here’s what our inspection includes:

• Area inspection. We make sure no excess dirt, dust, or debris is getting inside your heat pump system.
• Thermostat check. We test thermostats for proper calibration and function.
• Electrical connections. We examine electrical connections and components for proper function and safety.
• Lubrication. Moving mechanical parts are treated with professional-grade lubricants to promote smooth and efficient operation.
• Condensate drain and pan. We check for leaks and proper drainage as we clean the pan.
• Air filters. We inspect air filters and make recommendations as necessary for selecting properly fitting filters and how often to change them between service visits.
• Blower wheel and motor. We make sure the air circulating equipment is working properly.
• Internal components. We check outdoor coils, the condenser fan, reversing valves, and refrigerant levels and make any necessary corrections.
• Potential repairs. If any issues are presented that go beyond the scope of regular maintenance, we will show you what we find and discuss repair options with you.
