Learn About Maintaining Your Heat Pumps
If you’ve already switched from a furnace or an air conditioner to a heat pump, congratulations! You probably know all about the benefits. These eco-friendly devices do the work of two HVAC units while operating more efficiently than either.
Although heat pumps are generally low maintenance, regular tune-ups keep them working their best. For preventative heat pump maintenance services in Scottsdale and beyond, call the pros at Forbes Refrigeration & HVAC. Our family-owned business has one goal: to keep your home comfortable.
Benefits of Heat Pump Maintenance
Your heat pump works hard all year long. Give it a helping hand by scheduling maintenance with Forbes Refrigeration & HVAC. The benefits of maintaining your heat pump include the following:
Prevent Emergency Breakdowns
If your cooling system breaks down on a 110-degree day, things can get dangerous quickly. Scheduling heat pump maintenance in the spring is the best way to prevent emergency breakdowns in the summer. You’ll stay safe and comfortable while saving money.
Lower Your Utility Bills
Replacing an older cooling system with a heat pump could save Arizona homeowners hundreds of dollars a year. Preventative maintenance on your heat pump can save you even more. Compared to a severely neglected system, a well-maintained heat pump uses up to 25% less energy.
Extend Your System’s Lifespan
Most heat pumps last an average of 15 years. But without routine maintenance, it may not even last a decade. Scheduling a tune-up once or twice a year helps your heat pump work properly for many years.
Heat Pump Maintenance Checklist
With over four decades in the business, Forbes Refrigeration & HVAC has preventative maintenance down pat. Our heat pump maintenance checklist includes the following:
Inspect Ductwork
We will inspect your home’s ductwork for dirt, debris, and leaks. We will also clean the supply and return registers and measure for adequate airflow.
Verify Refrigerant Levels
Like air conditioners, heat pumps use refrigerant to transfer heat. Our techs will verify the proper refrigerant charge and check for leaks.
Clean and Tighten Components
Each tune-up involves careful inspection and cleaning of components like air filters, blowers, and indoor coils. We will also lubricate moving parts and inspect belts for signs of wear.
Check Electrical Connections
Our specialists will inspect your heat pump’s electrical terminals and wiring. If needed, we will clean and tighten the connections and apply nonconductive coating.
Verify Thermostat and Settings
Proper heat pump function depends on the proper settings. We will ensure your heat pump is in the right mode (heating or cooling), calibrate your thermostat, and verify proper operation.
