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.
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.
