All heating and cooling equipment needs regular tune ups each year, for many important reasons. Heat pump tune ups boost the performance and energy efficiency of the system and counteract wear and tear that cause breakdowns and comfort issues inside the home.
Maryland homes equipped with heat pumps use this equipment to provide both heating AND cooling throughout the year. As they run double of what a furnace or air conditioner costs, heat pump tune ups are especially important. Do heat pumps need servicing every year? The answer is yes – and then some!
How Often Do Heat Pumps Need Servicing?
For furnaces, boilers and air conditioners that run during heating and cooling season, tune ups are recommended annually. If you properly maintain your HVAC equipment, you see your heating and cooling technician twice each year, but each system receives only one tune up in a year’s time.
Heat pump maintenance needs to be performed more frequently because this unit does two jobs throughout the year – it heats your home in the winter and cools it in the summer. A heat pump needs a tune up twice annually to maintain proper performance and energy efficiency.
Ideally, your heat pump maintenance is performed by your technician in the spring and in the fall. When you schedule maintenance service at these times, your technician is often able to perform the tune up before it is time to use the system for the coming heating or cooling season. This ensures the heat pump is cared for and able to operate at peak performance and efficiency once temperatures change and you need its help to stay comfortable indoors.
During maintenance, your technician also assesses the system and identifies problems that hinder operation, so these issues are able to be repaired right away. Problems are fixed so the system runs as expected when it’s time to use it, and you aren’t left without heating or cooling when you need it.
