FAQ
Heat pump maintenance questions
Twice a year is best, because a heat pump works in both seasons. Book one visit in spring before the cooling season and one in fall before the heating season. Regular service keeps the system efficient and catches problems before a cold night or a heat wave puts it under pressure.
Each visit includes an air filter check, indoor and outdoor coil cleaning, a drain system check, an electrical inspection, a refrigerant check, a fan and motor check, a defrost system test and performance testing in both heating and cooling. We explain anything that needs attention before it becomes a breakdown.
In winter, frost builds up on the outdoor coil and the defrost cycle melts it. If the defrost control or a sensor fails, ice can build up and stop the heat pump from heating. Testing it before winter helps make sure the system keeps your home warm through cold New England weather.
Clean or replace the filters regularly, keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, snow and ice, and leave at least a foot of open space around it. Do not chip ice off the coil by hand. Book professional service twice a year for the parts that need a trained technician.
Yes. We service central ducted heat pumps, ductless mini-split heat pumps, cold-climate heat pumps and hybrid systems from all major brands. Whatever the type, each visit covers the same core checks, plus anything specific to your system, such as zone controls or a backup furnace that runs on the coldest days.
