Keeping our heat pumps running smoothly and efficiently is essential to ensure their efficient performance. While heat pumps are fairly low maintenance heating devices, it is important to perform a few routine procedures to avoid the need for more costly repair work down the road.
Vegetation, dust, pollen, and clutter should be cleared from the outdoor unit regularly. It is also important to keep the outdoor units clear of ice and snow. The indoor unit contains a dust filter that needs to be cleaned regularly. The frequency of cleaning these these parts can range from weeks to months depending on use, where you live, whether or not you have pets, and other factors. It is suggested that you have a professional technician service your heat pump annually. They can run diagnostics, check for leaks, perform a deep cleaning, and make sure everything is functioning properly.
Your heat pump likely came with a default parts warranty of so many years. If you registered it at the time of installation, you likely increased the duration that the parts warranty is available to you. Some local companies offer a labor warranty in addition to the parts warranty.
