Most homeowners know that regular preventive maintenance is crucial to keeping HVAC systems in fine working order. What a lot of people who own heat pumps don\u2019t know is that these systems need to be maintained twice a year. That\u2019s because heat pumps are unique in that they require maintenance more often than other standard HVAC systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your heat pump worked hard over the summer to keep your home cool in the Louisiana heat. With the first day of winter right around the corner, you\u2019re going to depend on your heat pump more and more to make sure your house stays warm. Now\u2019s an ideal time to schedule maintenance and by doing so now, you can avoid heat pump repair in Hammond, LA<\/a> this winter. Keep reading to learn why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why Do Heat Pumps Need Bi-Annual Maintenance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The simple answer is that it\u2019s a system that you use in both the heating and cooling seasons. Throughout the year, it\u2019s doing double duty and therefore it needs maintenance twice as often. A heat pump depends on the same components to heat your house in the winter and to cool your home in the summer. Ideally, it should receive a heating inspection and tune-up in the fall to prepare it for winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be thinking that because you don\u2019t use your heat that much that it\u2019s okay to skip winter maintenance. However, that\u2019s just not the case. Winter maintenance ensures that your heat pump will run smoothly and efficiently before the cooling season when you\u2019ll depend on your system the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protect Your Investment by Extending Your Heat Pump\u2019s Lifespan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many benefits to bi-annual heat pump maintenance. One of the most important is that it protects your investment in your heating and cooling system. A heat pump that hasn\u2019t been maintained properly will wear down from the demands of both summer and winter. This constant wear and tear will lead to the system failing before its estimated lifespan. A well-maintained heat pump has an estimated 15-year lifespan, but a heat pump without maintenance could fail in half that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save Money by Decreasing Energy Usage and Repairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance saves you money in other ways. In addition to prolonging its life, some of the other ways maintenance saves money is through greater energy efficiency. A system that runs in optimal condition is one that runs efficiently, and that will save money by decreasing your utility bills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re also less likely to need repairs. More than half of the repairs a heat pump may need during its estimated service life are preventable with bi-annual maintenance. That same level of maintenance will allow a heat pump to retain 95% of its original energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid the Headache of Unexpected Repairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No one wants the headache and hassle that accompany unexpected repairs. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your system is well-maintained and less likely to break down when you need it most is well worth the cost of bi-annual maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
