Heat Pump Tune-Ups & Maintenance in Reynoldsburg, Ohio
Over usage seasons, our beloved heat pumps survive outside in the most extreme of Ohio’s weather. Whether Mother Nature serves us another bone-chilling cold winter here in Franklin County or yet another summer of sweltering heat, homeowners rely on their heat pumps year-round for relief. To guarantee these systems sustain their peak performance, help us save money, and prolong their lifespans, there is no substitute for consistent preventative maintenance from a locally certified HVAC technician.
Understanding the Importance of Regular Heat Pump Maintenance
Keeping up with this sort of maintenance enables this dual heating and cooling system to perform smoothly and more efficiently for longer while reducing the need for emergency repairs, if not eliminating them. No matter what kind of heat pump you have, regular maintenance will help you enjoy a far more comfortable – and far less expensive – heat pump experience.
Like a central AC system, heat pumps need unrestricted airflow through an indoor and outdoor coil to provide that year-round comfort we pay for. Guaranteeing the system stays clean and regular maintenance helps prevent costly and inconvenient heat pump repair bills. As such, maintenance is an excellent way to:
- Maximize energy savings
- Avoid unexpected breakdowns
- Reduce wear and tear on the different parts for longer life
Scheduling an appointment with one of our local heat pump technicians is a wise investment that brings peace of mind and comfort — not to mention money savings on heat pump repair services down the road. Looking for heat pump installation services? We’ve got you covered.
DIY Air Conditioner Maintenance Tips
While professional maintenance is crucial, there are also some simple steps you can take to keep your heat pump system in good shape between visits:
.) Seal Thermostat Gaps
Inspect the wire entry point on your thermostat for gaps allowing air drafts. Apply caulking to seal these gaps and ensure accurate temperature readings. Consider a smart thermostat upgrade with Reynoldsburg Heating & Cooling!
2.) Clean Outdoor Vents
Regularly remove any debris, such as leaves or plants, from the outdoor intake and exhaust vents to ensure proper airflow. Maintain a three-foot radius around these vents for optimal performance.
3.) Clean Air Ducts
Check inside your registers and air ducts for dust buildup. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to remove any accumulated dust. For extensive cleaning, consider our system-wide air duct cleaning service. We offer air duct cleaning with limited availability, so call us to schedule this service!
4.) Protect Coils
During the colder months, cover your outdoor AC unit with a non-airtight cover to shield the coils from falling ice and extreme weather conditions. A trash can cover, or a small sheet of plywood secured with bungee cords can serve this purpose effectively.
Boost Energy Efficiency With Heat Pump Maintenance
Heat pumps utilize a large coil located outside the home and a second coil inside the home to transfer heat as needed for both the cooling and heating of the home. Because the outdoor coil is exposed year-round to weather elements, it tends to gather dust, dirt, debris, and other contaminants when it gets wet. The inside coil is close to the air handler. Because it can create condensation, it can also draw in airborne pollutants and become a home for dust, pet dander, mold, and mildew.
Because these coils operate at their best when they are clean, keeping them free from this stuff and clean is essential. Keeping them clean and properly maintained will maintain the system, as it has to strive harder to sustain heating and cooling needs. This downgrade in efficiency is also hard on the heat pump’s motors, fans, and other parts of the system.
In addition to the coils, checking your heat pump’s air filter is crucial, ensuring it is clean. Air filters always need to be checked regularly and replaced as needed for efficient performance. Bad air filters can become obstructed and prevent airflow. This leads to decreased comfort, more expensive utility bills, and, in some circumstances, a complete system breakdown.
