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.

On time explained everything!! Did great job cleaning up !! So satisfied

Nancy Morrison

Needed to have kitchen/laundry room plumbing looked at due to a clog that persisted to happen every 2-3 years with build up. Other companies typically will just snake it & move on. Roy's took the time to get to the root of the issue & re did the plumbing lines so hopefully it will not happen again. From the diagnoser to the installer, the whole team was quick, efficient, & friendly!

Great service. The technician (Ryan) was awesome. He arrived literally within minutes of the service call ( he was finishing a job in my neighborhood) quickly diagnosed my furnace issue and made repairs within an hour. I was charged what I feel is a fair price to do something I couldn't have done myself. The replacement parts come with a warranty. Couldn't be happier. Now the wife won't yell at me because the house is freezing. Good experience all around

Had my kitchen sink snaked. They couldn't get it done the first day but they came back the next day and cleared up the clog. Sean is highly professional and very concerned about fixing my problem. I will always call Roy's any future heating and plumbing work. And I will ask for Sean.

Steve Martin was my tech today and he was absolutely outstanding! His knowledge of steam boiler systems is impressive, and he explained everything clearly and professionally from start to finish. He took the time to thoroughly inspect and tune up the system, making sure everything was running efficiently and safely. You can tell he truly knows his craft and takes pride in his work. The tune-up was done carefully and meticulously, and I really appreciate his professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to answer questions. Highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable tech!

I was in urgent need of a new sump pump. I called in the morning and got an appointment right away. They were able to come even earlier than expected, which was great! Josh B. went through all my options with me at every price point and didn't pressure me into any decision. He said he wanted to treat me like family and made sure I made an informed decision. When I gave him the go ahead, he finished the work in about an hour and then walked me through what he did and how I should handle the upkeep. I went from being panicked to put at complete ease in just a few hours. Thanks Josh B! Great Job!

The technicians were very professional. They used shoe coverings and they covered my flooring. They did an excellent job installing furnace and air conditioning units. They not only carted everything away but they did an awesome job cleaning up after themselves. Rob made sure to find as many discounts to make costs more manageable. Extremely satisfied.
