Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance of your heat pump. Here are some key maintenance tasks:

• Filter Changes: Clean or replace filters every month to maintain air quality and system efficiency.
• Coil Cleaning: Dirty coils can reduce efficiency; schedule professional cleaning to avoid damage.
• System Inspections: Have a professional inspect refrigerant levels and electrical connections annually.
• Outdoor Unit Care: Keep the area around the unit clear of debris and inspect for damage regularly.
• Ductwork Inspection: Check for leaks and ensure ducts are well-insulated to prevent energy loss.

Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repair or Replacement

Be aware of these indicators that your heat pump may require professional attention:

• Unusual Noises: Grinding, squealing, or rattling noises can signal mechanical issues.
• Inconsistent Heating/Cooling: If certain areas are too hot or cold, your system may need repair.
• Short Cycling: Frequent on and off cycles could indicate a thermostat or filter issue.
• Increased Energy Bills: A spike in energy costs often signals inefficiency due to system wear.
• Ice Build-Up: Excessive ice, especially on indoor coils, could indicate a refrigerant leak or a malfunctioning defrost cycle.
• Age of the System: Heat pumps typically last about 10 to 15 years. If yours is older, consider upgrading.
