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 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.
Alex, Kade, and Connor were fabulous. Professional, courteous, caring. I was also impressed with how Alex worked with his two younger co-workers. Patiently explained how the job was to be done and why, often walking them through each process. Always taking safety as an equal to job pace. They cleaned their area as they worked and left the job site cleaner than when they arrived. I’m glad they tolerated this old man’s constant peeking in on their progress.
I want to thank Alex T. And his helpers Kade, Cole, and Noah for installing a new boiler system for my home. They communicated what they were doing and were willing to work with my schedule to get the job done. Thanks again guys.
Nick E. Did a great job maintaining and deep cleaning our two heat pumps. Great work. He was professional and personable.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Dorothy! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with Dan was so professional and seamless from start to finish. We take pride in providing clear communication, reliable service, and knowledgeable recommendations that keep your home safe and comfortable. It’s wonderful to know that Dan delivered the high standard of care we aim for every day. We truly appreciate your trust in Dog House!
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. 🐶❤️ If you’d like to learn more about our animal rescue efforts, check it out here: 👉 https://calldoghouse.com/animal-welfare-rescue/

Carson performed a thorough analysis of our heating plant’s needs, informed me fully about our options, and executed the plan professionally and efficiently. Our Border Collie Charlotte agrees!
We had our heating system cleaned and maintained today by Hannah K and Dom J. Very professional, thorough and explained things to me as they went along. They were prompt and polite and I would highly recommend the Dog House.
