Why Heat Pumps Require Twice A Year Maintenance
Monday, March 27th, 2023Spring is here and the promise of better weather and the change in season often motivates people to tackle spring cleaning chores around the house. Many homeowners also have spring maintenance checklists for their homes and on the top of that list should be getting your air conditioner or heat pump serviced.
If you own a heat pump in Colorado Springs you might be thinking you can skip this in the spring if you had it done in the fall. Unfortunately, that’s just not the case. Unlike central heating and air conditioning systems that need to be maintained once a year, heat pumps need maintenance twice a year. Read on to find out why it’s so important.
What If Your Heat Pump Won’t Switch Modes?
Monday, March 28th, 2022It might not quite be time to switch your heat pump from heating mode to cooling just yet, but that’s just around the corner. And when that time does come, you will want to easily adjust your heat pump right? This way it can cool your home as powerfully as it heated your home this past winter.
Well, we cannot guarantee that your heat pump will work flawlessly if you’ve skipped professional maintenance–which should be scheduled twice a year for a year-round heat pump system. Nor can we guarantee this for an aging heat pump system. If you skipped maintenance or haven’t had your system serviced in the past year, then that lukewarm air coming from your heat pump might continue when you try to switch the system over to cooling mode.
