HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU SCHEDULE HEAT PUMP MAINTENANCE?
Regular maintenance keeps your heat pump running smoothly and avoids costly repairs and replacements. Heat pumps should have routine maintenance completed at least once per year. Ideally, for extra care, you should schedule maintenance twice yearly: before summer and before winter. This ensures your system is prepared for the increased workload during these times of year.

WHAT HEAT PUMP PARTS REGULARLY NEED MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE?
These parts of your heat pump require regular attention to prevent breakdowns and ensure efficient operation:
-
Filters: The air filters in your ductless heat pump should be cleaned every six months — more frequently if you smoke, have pets or just completed a home renovation. Dirty filters can restrict airflow and reduce system efficiency, leading to higher energy bills and potential breakdowns.
-
Refrigerant: Low refrigerant levels can cause a decrease in the cooling or heating capacity of your heat pump, which can lead to poor performance. It’s a good idea to have a professional periodically inspect your system to help identify leaks or deficiencies and, if necessary, recharge the refrigerant to optimize your heat pump’s performance.
-
Reversing valve: The reversing valve is an essential component that allows your heat pump to switch between heating and cooling modes. If the reversing valve becomes stuck or fails, your heat pump may not adequately heat or cool your home.
-
Compressor: The compressor is the heart of your heat pump. It’s responsible for compressing the refrigerant to produce warm or cool air. If the compressor fails, it can cause the entire system to malfunction.
-
Fan and motor bearings: Periodically lubricating your heat pump’s motor and fan bearings reduces friction and minimizes wear and tear for smooth operation. You should also regularly inspect and clean the fan blades to remove dirt or debris that could obstruct airflow.
