How Often Should I Schedule Heat Pump Maintenance?

It’s best to schedule heat pump maintenance twice a year—once before the heating season and once before the cooling season. Since heat pumps work year-round, they experience more wear and tear than traditional HVAC systems . Regular maintenance ensures efficiency, prevents breakdowns, and extends the life of your system.

What Happens During a Heat Pump Maintenance Visit?

A professional technician will inspect, clean, and test all components of your heat pump, including coils, electrical connections, and refrigerant levels. They will also check airflow, calibrate the thermostat, and lubricate moving parts to ensure smooth operation. These steps help improve efficiency, prevent issues, and keep your system running reliably.

Can a Dirty Air Filter Affect My Heat Pump’s Performance?

Yes, a clogged or dirty air filter can restrict airflow, forcing your heat pump to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. This increases energy consumption and can lead to overheating or even system failure. Replacing or cleaning your air filter regularly is one of the easiest ways to keep your heat pump running efficiently.

Why Is My Heat Pump Running Constantly?

Heat pumps naturally run longer than traditional heating and cooling systems, but if yours is running non-stop, it could indicate an issue. Common causes include dirty coils, incorrect thermostat settings, or low refrigerant levels. A maintenance check can help identify and resolve the problem to improve efficiency.

How Can I Improve the Efficiency of My Heat Pump?

Regular maintenance, including cleaning coils, changing filters, and checking refrigerant levels, helps keep your heat pump running efficiently. Ensuring proper insulation and sealing air leaks in your home can also reduce the workload on your system. Upgrading to a smart thermostat can further enhance efficiency by optimizing temperature settings based on your schedule.

What Are the Signs That My Heat Pump Needs a Tune-Up?

If your heat pump is making unusual noises, struggling to maintain temperatures, or causing higher energy bills, it may need a tune-up. Weak airflow, frequent cycling, or ice buildup on the outdoor unit are also common signs of an issue. Regular maintenance helps catch these problems early and keeps your system running smoothly.

Does Heat Pump Maintenance Help Prevent Breakdowns?

Yes, routine maintenance helps identify and fix minor issues before they turn into major, costly breakdowns. Regular servicing ensures that components are clean, lubricated, and functioning correctly, reducing wear and tear. Investing in preventative maintenance can save you money on emergency repairs and extend the lifespan of your heat pump.

Is Professional Heat Pump Maintenance Necessary If My System Seems Fine?

Even if your heat pump appears to be running smoothly, hidden issues can develop over time that affect efficiency and performance. Professional maintenance helps detect potential problems early and keeps your system operating at peak efficiency. Regular servicing also ensures your manufacturer’s warranty remains valid, protecting your investment.

We were told that they have Zero percent financing, what we were not told is there is a fee attached to the Zero financing. So, after receiving our paperwork I noticed this charge, and when I called Roy’s, I was told to call the bank it’s a bank fee. UPDATE ON 11.17.25 I spoke with Mike at Roy's about our above concern, he was very professional, understanding, I was so please on how they handled our concern, that we are changing our review from one star to a 5 STAR RATING. it's rare that a company stands behind their word like Roy's did., I highly recommend them.
