Be Sure to Schedule Seasonal Heat Pump Maintenance

Your heat pump keeps you comfortable in your Indio, CA, home year-round. While it often operates quietly in the background, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need some attention. Seasonal heat pump maintenance performed by a professional service technician helps ensure the reliability of your heat pump and more.

Boost the Pump’s Energy Efficiency

Maintaining your home’s energy efficiency remains one of the most important reasons to schedule seasonal heat pump maintenance. Although these systems have a reputation for being highly cost-effective, their efficiency can decline over time when they’re not well-maintained. During a seasonal check, the technician cleans the system’s filter to ensure proper airflow and prevent strain that can cause increased energy consumption. The technician also checks for leaks in the refrigerant system or insufficient levels, which can reduce the heat pump’s ability to keep your home at your desired temperature. Evaporator and condenser coil cleanings help to ensure efficient heat transfer, and lubricating and tightening parts help to ensure smooth operation.

Prolong the System’s Lifespan

You invested a significant amount of money in your heat pump, and you want it to last a long time. Seasonal maintenance helps you do this by preventing unnecessary wear and tear caused by strain on various components. It also allows for timely repairs by catching minor problems early that, if left alone, can lead to expensive repair costs or the need for complete replacement.

Breathe Easier in Your Home

Seasonal maintenance also improves your home’s indoor air quality. When coils get cleaned during the maintenance service, the risk of organic growth in the system decreases. Mold spores circulating throughout your home’s air can cause respiratory illness and exacerbate allergies. Proper maintenance also keeps relative humidity levels in your home within acceptable levels, which keeps your air healthier and your home more comfortable.
