A Short Guide to Heat Pump Maintenance

Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, making them one of the most versatile HVAC systems available. Regular maintenance keeps them running efficiently and extends their lifespan.

Seasonal Maintenance

Heat pump maintenance should be done at least twice a year — in spring (for cooling) and fall (for heating). During maintenance visits, technicians clean coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, and verify proper airflow.

DIY Maintenance

Homeowners can do several things between professional visits: clean or replace filters monthly, keep the outdoor unit clear of debris, and ensure registers are unobstructed.
