There are a plethora of benefits that accompany regular heat pump tune-ups. Something as simple as scheduling a maintenance appointment can result in cost savings. A heat pump that has frequent tune-ups will have a drastically increased lifespan. Plus, a heat pump with regular maintenance can last five to ten years longer than one that you haven’t maintained regularly.
Here are some additional benefits of a tune-up.
Lower energy bills
Enhanced comfort
Warranty protection
Enhanced efficiency
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.
Noah is clearly very well trained and incredibly talented. We went over the definites as well as the maybes of what we could run into. I feel so comfortable trusting this project is in good hands.
We have been long time customers of Dog House, since their early days, and have continued to be impressed by their service, professionalism and their team. They are prompt, polite, extremely helpful and flexible when it comes to scheduling and administrative needs. From Coleman S (this summer when we had some AC issues) to Nick E being our go-to for annual heating system maintenance and repair, we've been extremely pleased. They take their time to explain the situation, do thorough work, and demonstrate a level of responsibility and professionalism that is less and less common these days.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much to everyone at Nicholson Inn for your continued loyalty and for being with Dog House since our early days! It means a great deal to know that after all these years, our team continues to earn your trust. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Coleman and Nick. They'll be happy to know their attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to explain everything have made such a positive impression.

Coleman, with his assistant Yahouba, did an excellent job for us. In addition to routine annual maintenance on our two heat pumps, they diagnosed and repaired one of the heat pumps, which has not been generating heat. We particularly appreciated Coleman's clear and through explanations and recommendations concerning our system. Five stars for sure.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Marcus! We’re so glad Coleman and Yahouba took great care of your heat pumps, from the routine maintenance to diagnosing and repairing the system that wasn’t heating properly. We especially appreciate you recognizing Coleman for taking the time to clearly explain his findings and recommendations. We’ll be sure to share your five-star feedback with both of them!
