In this part of Maine, snowfall, ice, and bone-chilling winds will greet you every winter season. Dog House knows how important it is to keep your heat pump system functioning at its best all season long. The top way to ensure your heat stays on all winter in Brunswick, ME, is with heat pump maintenance. Dog House provides unmatched heat pump tune-ups and HVAC services in the area.
If you’re in the market for HVAC services in Brunswick, like a heat pump tune-up, call the experts at Dog House.
Always can count on your customer service to help me maintain my heating system. They do an exceptional job and always keep me informed. Great teamwork.
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.
Liberty and Dan were great. Extremely professional, walked us through everything and explained what needed to be done clearly. The work was done well and everything was cleaned up very well. We are very happy with the service, and would use them again!
Nick E. And another gentleman whose name I can’t recall fixed our AC today. We appreciated their promptness and attention to detail as well as taking the time to show me the area that needs attention as well as before and after photos to get a good look at what was done. They were knowledgeable, polite, thorough and easy to work with. Thanks Nick E and your associate
