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.

I was having major electrical issues- lights dimming, appliances not working, etc. I called Roy’s and Mike Murphy assessed the situation, informed me what needed to be done and helped me with financing (especially helpful a week before Christmas!) Angelo & Joel repaired everything with consideration and respect, kept me informed of what they were doing at all times and they didn’t mind my little pain in the ass dog following them around. They ensured all of my appliances were working and checked the electric in each room, even labeling the breaker box. I will definitely call them again!

I had my hot water tank replaced, sump pump replaced, a water pressure backup sump pump added to my system and a whole home Halo Ion filter also added to reduce scaling. The entire scope was completed as previously described to me by the estimator Shawn Miller. Nick Orcutt and Mike Hehir were the technicians who completed the work. They were professional, courteous and clean. Some slight modifications had to be made to the piping runs that were discussed prior to making the changes. There were no leaks, no damage, all removed equipment was taken away, no mess to clean up. Floor covering was put down, even on the basement stairs. They put on and removed foot coverings every time they entered or left the house. No change to any of the pricing as originally quoted. I had the completed paperwork by email before they left. Perfect job by Roy’s!

Roy's Plumbing did an excellent job on my sump pump discharge and bubbler system. I had a lot of water so it made the job a muddy mess, but for the time of year, it is to be expected. My sump pump has already slowed down on running. I would recommend Roy's Plumbing for your plumbing and sump pump needs.

Noah arrived on time to replace my water heater. He was polite and explained the process in detail. He was patient and thorough. This replacement was a tough one. He cleaned up and took the time to make sure I understood what was done and what I needed to know about my new water heater. Answered my questions and reminded me to make sure I take advantage of my maintenance membership. I have used Roy’s services a few times for big jobs and their prices are better than most and the service has been amazing. I trust them with my home needs. Thanks Noah for being so awesome!

Josh B. Did an excellent job today with an issue I have had for a few years. Pro chain cleaning was recommended, and it did the trick. Would suggest this method for stubborn clogs that develop in longer drain lines where a standard diameter snake doesn’t work.
