Our Comprehensive Heat Pump Maintenance Checklist

A professional heat pump tune-up is a detailed process that addresses components critical to both the heating and cooling cycles. This preventative service ensures all parts of your system are clean, calibrated, and in good working condition, which is essential for a unit that operates throughout the year.

A technician's comprehensive checklist will include the following tasks:

• Cleaning Indoor and Outdoor Coils: Removing dirt and debris from the coils is crucial for proper heat transfer and overall system efficiency.
• Inspecting and Cleaning the Condensate Drain: A clear drain line prevents water backups, leaks, and potential property damage, especially during the cooling season.
• Checking Refrigerant Levels: The technician will check that the refrigerant charge meets the manufacturer's specifications, as incorrect levels can reduce performance and strain the compressor.
• Testing Electrical Components: This involves tightening connections and measuring the voltage and current on motors to ensure proper and reliable operation.
• Inspecting and Lubricating Motors: The fan and blower motors are checked for wear and lubricated as needed to reduce friction and prolong their lifespan.

This thorough inspection and cleaning process is the best way to ensure your heat pump is ready for the demands of the upcoming season.

How We Ensure Your System’s Year-Round Performance

At AAA Furnace & Air Conditioning, our approach to heat pump maintenance is meticulous, reflecting our commitment to the high standards we have upheld since 1957. We know your system's reliability is non-negotiable, so our tune-ups are designed to be as thorough as possible, covering every aspect of its dual-function operation.

Our family-owned company ensures your system’s performance by:

• Testing Both Heating and Cooling Modes: We verify that the reversing valve and all components function correctly to switch between heating and cooling cycles.
• Calibrating the Thermostat: We ensure your thermostat is reading the temperature correctly and communicating properly with the heat pump for accurate comfort control.
• Cleaning and Inspecting All Key Parts: From the outdoor unit’s fan blades to the indoor air handler’s blower wheel, we clean and inspect every part that impacts airflow and performance.
• Providing a Clear Performance Overview: After the service, we will walk you through our findings, explain your system’s condition, and offer straightforward recommendations if needed.

Our goal at AAA Furnace & Air Conditioning is to provide a maintenance service that gives you confidence in your heat pump's ability to keep you comfortable, no matter the season.

The Benefits of Regular Heat Pump Service

Because a heat pump handles both heating and cooling, it accumulates twice the operational hours of a standalone furnace or air conditioner. This constant use makes annual professional service essential for maintaining the system’s performance and preventing premature wear on its critical components.

Regular maintenance helps keep the unit running efficiently throughout the year. Clean coils, proper refrigerant levels, and well-lubricated motors all contribute to lower energy consumption, which can help manage your utility bills during both the hottest and coldest parts of the year.

Most importantly, a yearly tune-up is the best defense against sudden system failure. A technician can spot and resolve minor issues like a frayed wire or a struggling capacitor before they cause a major breakdown, ensuring your home remains comfortable and sparing you from costly emergency repairs.
