Heat pumps provide homeowners in Douglasville, GA, with reliable and energy-efficient heating and cooling. But some things can affect a heat pump’s performance. Seasonal debris, vent blockages and faulty parts are culprits affecting system performance. A failing system is plausible if HVAC service technicians don’t address these issues. Here are the benefits of scheduling fall heat pump maintenance:
Extend the System’s Lifespan
Routine maintenance, seasonal cleanings and in-depth inspections are necessary to find underlying issues with your heat pump, and once uncovered, HVAC service technicians complete repairs. You must hire an HVAC professional to do all fall maintenance steps according to the manufacturer’s instructions to extend the heat pump’s longevity. Following these exact instructions maintains coverage under the product warranty and provides coverage for some repairs and component replacements.
Improve Heat Pump Performance
Fall maintenance steps include inspecting the belts and electric terminals, lubricating motors and testing the thermostat. HVAC service technicians also clean all connections, tighten connections, lockout cooling functions and add coatings to the remaining moving parts.
Performing these steps improves system performance and ensures your home stays warm all winter. Service technicians will recommend repairs or replacements if they find performance issues.
Enjoy Higher Energy Efficiency
Inspecting and cleaning the indoor coils, filters and blowers improves the energy efficiency of a heat pump. Preventing seal duct leakage ensures that heated air doesn’t escape outside. Cleaning the return and supply registers provides better airflow and reduces allergens in the system.
Heat pumps provide reliable heating and cooling and increased energy efficiency; however, you won’t get maximum performance levels without routine maintenance in the spring and fall. Seasonal maintenance increases the system’s longevity and improves the indoor air quality. Consult our HVAC service technicians at Certified Air Care, Inc. about scheduling fall heat pump maintenance.
