Heat Pump Maintenance in Palm Desert, CA
Heat Pump Maintenance in Palm Desert, Banning & Coachella
It's important to have your heat pump on a Maintenance plan with service at least every year. The technician can do the following:
- Inspect ducts, filters, blower, and indoor coil for dirt and other obstructions
- Diagnose and seal duct leakage
- Verify adequate airflow by measurement
- Verify correct refrigerant charge by measurement
- Check for refrigerant leaks
- Inspect electric terminals, and, if necessary, clean and tighten connections, and apply non-conductive coating
- Lubricate motors, and inspect belts for tightness and wear
- Verify correct electric control, making sure that heating is locked out when the thermostat calls for cooling and vice versa
- Verify correct thermostat operation
Why Heat Pumps Need Twice-a-Year Maintenance
A heat pump works in both summer and winter, so it often runs more hours per year than an air conditioner alone. Regular maintenance keeps refrigerant levels, coils and reversing valves working properly so you get efficient heating and cooling year-round.
We recommend a spring visit before cooling season and a fall visit before heating season. Between visits, keep the outdoor unit clear of debris and check your filter regularly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Twice a year is ideal — once before summer and once before winter — because the system runs in both seasons.
What happens if I skip heat pump maintenance?
Dirty coils and incorrect refrigerant levels reduce efficiency and can lead to compressor failure, one of the most expensive repairs.
