Alberta's wicked temperature swings can get the best of us, including your heat pump. Routine maintenance is essential for keeping your heat pump efficient and reliable, especially in a city like Edmonton where it may run for most of the year.
Maintenance Can Prevent Common Heat Pump Issues Like:
- Heat pump not heating in cold weather
- Blowing cold air in winter
- Not blowing cool air in summer
- Not blowing enough air (restricted airflow)
- Turning on and off (cycling)
- Heat pump doesn't turn on
- Doesn't turn off
- Frozen outdoor coils
- Unexpected energy bill increases
- Icing issues
- Refrigerant leaks
- Loud or unusual noises
- Electrical or control board failures
- Thermostat communication issues
Why Heat Pump Maintenance Matters:
- Improves efficiency and lowers operating costs
- Prevents winter performance issues
- Reduces risk of frozen coils and airflow problems
- Extends equipment lifespan
- Maintains manufacturer warranty requirements
A Professional Heat Pump Tune-Up Includes:
- Coil inspection and cleaning
- Refrigerant level check
- Electrical component testing
- Thermostat calibration
- Airflow and filter inspection
- Defrost cycle testing
Because heat pumps operate in both heating and cooling modes, they benefit from regular annual servicing--ideally before peak winter or summer demand. However, a tune-up done is better than none at all! Call ProSolutions to ensure your comfort all year long.
