FAQ: Heat Pump Maintenance and Tune-Ups

We recommend bi-annual tune-ups – one in spring to prepare for cooling season and one in fall for heating season. This ensures optimal performance year-round.

A comprehensive tune-up usually takes 60-90 minutes, depending on your system's size and condition.

Absolutely! Regular maintenance can reduce energy costs by up to 25% and help avoid costly emergency repairs.

Yes, if we identify a critical issue during your tune-up, we can often address it on the spot. We always discuss any additional work with you before proceeding.

While regular maintenance can extend your heat pump's life, factors like age (over 10-15 years), frequent repairs, and inefficient operation may indicate it's time for a replacement. Our technicians can provide expert advice on whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective.
