5 Reasons to Schedule Spring Heat Pump Maintenance

Spring has sprung in Tallahassee, FL. If you haven’t already done so, you’ll switch your heat pump from heating to cooling mode to remain comfortable indoors. Instead of waiting to service it during the summer, schedule preventive maintenance in spring to keep your heat pump in top condition.

Preparing for Summer

Tallahassee has hot, humid summers that can take a toll on heat pumps. Getting spring maintenance before the hottest part of the year sets in will ensure your cooling system can handle hot weather. If you delay maintenance, you may find yourself sweating inside your home while you wait for an unexpected repair at the height of air conditioning season.

Increasing Energy Efficiency

During heat pump maintenance, your HVAC service technician will clean and lubricate moving parts and check and tighten connections. These tasks help maintain system efficiency and keep electric bills in check. Without spring maintenance, your electricity bills will continue to rise because your heat pump will have to work harder to condition the air.

Extending the Heat Pump’s Lifespan

When you regularly maintain your heat pump to keep it operating at maximum efficiency, the appliance won’t struggle to maintain your desired indoor temperature. Well-maintained systems generally last longer than those that don’t get spring maintenance.

Reducing Heat Pump Repair Costs

Spring maintenance allows your HVAC service technician to check all moving parts and look for potential problems. As a heat pump ages, you can expect mounting issues. However, finding minor issues during maintenance will help prevent them from developing into major, costly repairs.

Better Indoor Air Quality

Cleaning dirt and debris from system coils and other parts will improve indoor air quality, as fewer undesirable particles will circulate through your home. A clean heat pump will make your indoor air easier to breathe.
