Your heat pump works year-round, heating and cooling your local home efficiently, cost-effectively, and without burning fossil fuels, making it environmentally friendly.
It is the true workhorse of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) world, delivering comfort when you need it here in Metro Seattle. As a wise homeowner, you want to keep it that way.
Maintenance is the key to ensuring your heat pump operates as flawlessly in its 10th year as it did the first day it went into service.
Schedule Heat Pump Maintenance
At Ballard Natural Gas Service, we recommend scheduling a heat pump tune-up at least annually, ideally in the spring before the cooling season starts. Consider prepping it for the heating season with fall maintenance before the overnight temperatures begin sliding downward.
Our NATE-certified technicians have the expertise and experience to inspect, clean, and tweak your heat pump, restoring efficiency and catching minor repair issues before they spiral out of control.
Although we are a licensed Trane dealer, our licensed Seattle HVAC professionals maintain all heat pump makes and models.
Through preventative maintenance, we can extend your heat pump’s longevity while keeping it problem-free. Tune-ups rejuvenate your HVAC system and restore efficiency.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) says a well-maintained heat pump uses 20 to 25 percent less energy than a neglected one, making maintenance a worthwhile annual investment in your HVAC system.
Maintaining Your Heat Pump in Washington
Heat pump maintenance is not a do-it-yourself project, although we encourage you to inspect the air filter every month and replace it routinely.
A dirty air filter restricts airflow and makes your equipment unnecessarily work harder.
Consider pruning shrubs and removing weeds encroaching on the compressor unit outdoors. Occasionally, turn off the power supply to the heat pump and hose the outdoor unit with a gentle spray of water to clean off the coil.
Our technicians are always happy to answer your questions and offer advice on maintenance you can do at home. Even minor tasks, such as cleaning the air duct registers, can go a long way toward keeping your heat pump in top condition.
