Prevent Excessive Energy Costs
The trick to managing energy costs is consistent care. This includes care that you complete by changing the air filter and rinsing off the outdoor unit of your heat pump, but it also includes biannual maintenance with our team. The trick to saving money on energy costs is to be consistent in scheduling these appointments.
As a part of regular operation, your heat pump can take on wear and tear fairly quickly. A professional maintenance appointment is an opportunity to address this wear and tear little by little to keep your heat pump working at its best to both heat and cool your home.
These little incremental investments will quickly add up to better energy efficiency year after year. Instead of losing energy efficiency due to worn-out components, you’ll be able to maintain the high level of energy efficiency you enjoyed when your heat pump was brand new.
Prevent Frequent Repairs
Regular service is also the best way to prevent repairs. As we mentioned above, maintenance allows our team to address wear and tear as it happens. When you skip maintenance, wear and tear can become a more significant issue, ultimately leading to expensive repair costs.
As wear and tear builds up, you may be more likely to need repairs frequently. This can mean scheduling a repair appointment for one thing only to have something else go wrong a month or so later. Keep in mind that heat pumps will naturally need more frequent repairs in their last couple of years of life. However, you shouldn’t schedule frequent repairs if your heat pump is less than 10 years old.
Prevent an Early Breakdown
Excessive problems may leave you replacing your heat pump sooner than you expected to. But regular maintenance can easily extend your heat pump lifespan for an extra five years or longer. Instead of getting only 10 years out of your heat pump, you may get closer to 15 years.
Professional care also gives you peace of mind that your existing heat pump has many years of life left in it. When our team consistently cares for your unit, we get to know both your system and your family. This can help us identify any unusual patterns and wear or better address persistent issues that we see inside your system.
