What Professional Maintenance Includes
There are several things you can expect a professional to do during professional maintenance services. Our technicians will thoroughly inspect both your indoor and outdoor units. We will also perform system checks to assess the full health of your heat pump system. Our mission is to have your heat pump running seamlessly at the end of the tune-up.
There are a few things we watch for as we perform maintenance services.
Signs of wear
Signs of leaks
Proper functioning
Seasonal Heat Pump Tune-Ups
During a tune-up, our technicians will clean different components. Evaporator and condenser coils commonly have built-up dirt on them. A deep clean really helps the parts to operate as they should. In addition, it’s also easier to inspect for any problems. Once we complete the cleaning and inspection process, we’ll adjust necessary system components to optimize peak performance.
Airflow & Filter Optimization
During the maintenance service, our technicians will also check for proper airflow. If the air can’t flow well, your heat pump will struggle to maintain consistent temperatures. To reduce that problem, we’ll replace air filters to help maintain the system’s efficiency.
Electrical & Refrigerant Checks
Electrical and refrigerant components play a big part in how your heat pump operates. Our experts know it’s essential to inspect the wiring and test all of your heat pump’s electrical components. An unresolved electrical issue could cause severe damage and could also be a major fire hazard. Our testing enhances the safety of your heat pump.
Our technicians will be sure to check refrigerant levels. A low refrigerant level usually means there’s a deeper issue. A low level could indicate a leak is present. Swift action to fix this prevents severe damage.
Performance Testing
Routine performance testing helps to identify any issues early on before they have the chance to escalate. These tests help us to see what our eyes alone are unable to. We will measure temperature splits. We will also measure electrical loads regarding amps and volts. Refrigerant and airflow pressures are also things we test. We compare the results of the tests to the manufacturer’s specs for each heat pump. If a result doesn’t match up to the specs, we take action to fix the problem at hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s common to have questions when it comes to your heat pump. At Dog House, we’re happy to answer any questions that arise. With that said, here are answers to the top four most common questions we receive.
How often should a heat pump receive maintenance?
Since a heat pump can both heat and cool a home, it’s best to schedule maintenance twice a year. You should schedule maintenance in the spring before you need your AC. Additionally, you should schedule maintenance in the fall before the heating season ramps up.
What are common signs a heat pump needs servicing?
There are many potential signs that indicate the need for heat pump repair services. If your heat pump isn’t keeping your home at a comfortable temperature, this is a problem. Unusual odors and strange sounds coming from your heat pump are also signs to watch for.
Can maintenance improve energy efficiency?
Maintenance most certainly improves energy efficiency. Routine maintenance is key to ensuring your system operates in tip-top shape. In fact, maintenance can improve energy efficiency so much that you’ll typically notice a drop in your electric bill.
Does heat pump maintenance help prevent breakdowns?
There are multiple ways that a tune-up can help prevent breakdowns. During a tune-up, you can expect our technicians to inspect parts for any problems. If we find a problem, we’ll promptly fix it to enhance your heat pump’s performance and longevity.
The Dog house staff was amazing as always. Quickly diagnosed the issue was able to fix it that day. I also asked if they were able to due a bi-annual cleaning after checking with the office they were able to accommodate. I had also asked for an estimate for moving my oil tanks Noah was able to give me a roundabout number for that. Just a great company to work with.

A little behind-the-scenes about us: Since 2000, our owner John and his wife Maria have adopted more than 23 dogs—many of them seniors or special needs—from both local shelters and out-of-state rescues. Along the way, they’ve also fostered and cared for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters. With that many furry friends under one roof, naming the company Dog House just made sense. 🐶❤️

Very happy with Doghouse. Josh M. & Liberty W. Are very knowledgeable about plumbing & I was very confident in their abilities. They worked very hard on the repair. They ran into more problems but said they wouldn't leave until it was completed and I was satisfied, which they did. They also put everything back as it was after the repair. And every time I call Anne is pleasant and will not stop until she finds/schedules to your convenience what you need. I have 2 other plumbing repairs and need a total furnace and tank replacement that I have scheduled with them as well and the estimates for those are very reasonable. They have all my faith and I highly recommend Doghouse for all your repairs.
Nick did an outstanding job with my AC tune-up. He was professional, on time, and took the time to explain everything he was doing in a way that actually made sense. You can tell he really knows his stuff and cares about doing the job right, not just rushing through it. I feel a lot more confident heading into the warmer months. He was also super respectful of my home and left everything clean when he finished. If you’re looking for someone reliable and knowledgeable, I’d definitely recommend asking for Nick. Great experience all around.
