While it’s not uncommon for homeowners in Centerville, OH to ignore their heat pumps until something goes wrong, scheduling regular maintenance is the best way to keep your HVAC system running smoothly for years. We recommend having two heat pump tune-ups a year, one in early spring and the other in early fall. Here are some benefits of scheduling seasonal heat pump maintenance visits.
1. Improve Your System’s Performance
Winter in Centerville is cold, with an average low of 23°F in the chilliest month, January. With that in mind, you need your heat pump to be ready to keep your home warm and toasty. Scheduling regular heat pump maintenance helps to ensure that every component in your heat pump is running at its best and ready to help you fight off the winter cold.
2. Boost Energy Efficiency
It’s normal for your monthly utility bills to go up slightly during the most extreme temperatures of the year. However, you shouldn’t notice sharp increases in those monthly bills. If you do, something’s probably wrong with your heat pump.
During regular heat pump maintenance, one of our technicians will lubricate your heat pump’s moving parts, check connections, and much more. This process helps ensure that your heat pump can operate efficiently, allowing you to save on your monthly bills without forfeiting comfort.
3. Protect Your Warranty
Depending on the age of your heat pump, it may still have a manufacturer’s warranty in place. These warranties come with conditions that you must meet to keep them valid. In almost every case, warranties require regular maintenance by a licensed professional.
Temperatures in our area are already dipping, but there’s still time for you to schedule heat pump maintenance. Call On Target Heating and Cooling today to schedule a heat pump tune-up, and be sure to ask about our other HVAC services to keep your home comfortable and energy efficient.
