Similar to traditional HVAC systems, your heat pump needs regular maintenance and servicing in order to provide quality heating and air conditioning. General wear and tear, the elements, and aging equipment all work together at times to cause problems for your system, so keeping up to date with routine maintenance is a great way to avoid serious issues and malfunctions.

This is where Eternity HVAC shines! Talented technicians will evaluate your system, address repairs, and give your unit a deep clean to remove dust and debris. 

Why Heat Pump Maintenance Matters

Taking care of the equipment in your home is always important for maintaining your comfort and your home’s efficiency. Dirty or faulty heat pumps will eventually experience issues that could leave your entire home vulnerable. Quality technician service from the team at Eternity HVAC will tend to your heat pump annually so you can focus on other aspects of your home’s maintenance needs.

In addition, a smooth functioning heat pump supports your entire home with: 

• Cleaner air
• More reliable heating and cooling
• Improved energy efficiency
• Reduced emissions 

These benefits have a big impact on your home, so prioritizing heat pump maintenance is key. 

Signs That Your Heat Pump Needs Maintenance  

Thankfully, heat pumps often produce signs that something is wrong before failing completely. Be on the lookout for these common signs of heat pump malfunctions: 

• Strange smells are coming from the pump system or your vents.
• There is no airflow or reduced airflow. 
• Loud sounds like whirring, grinding, or clicking are coming from the pump. 
• You have never had a professional inspection before.  

Recognizing these signs is a great first step, but you have to act on them right away! Calling the professionals at Eternity HVAC is a great way to protect your system from getting worse and experiencing even more costly issues. 

Possible Repairs During Heat Pump Maintenance

The good news is that there is always a solution to your heat pump woes! Diagnosing and remedying heat pump issues is easy when you rely on a trusted HVAC contractor like Eternity HVAC. Possible issues and the resulting repairs include the following.

Thermostat Issues 

One of the most common heat pump issues has nothing to do with your pump! A faulty thermostat can’t control your airflow properly, so your pump won’t work the way it needs to. In addition, something as simple as dead thermostat batteries offers a quick solution. 

Dirty Filters

Another simple fix is swapping out dirty or clogged air filters. Your air filter has the important job of filtering out allergens, dust, and debris, which means it will need regular replacements to keep it clean. Failing to swap out your air filter will result in a slower, less efficient pump and higher utility costs. 

Lack of Airflow 

Heat pumps need adequate airflow in order to work efficiently, so any sort of blockage around the outdoor unit poses problems. A few feet of clearance around the outdoor unit allows proper airflow, but vegetation and overgrowth can impact the fan and outdoor coils. 

Prevent Costly Repairs With Regular Heat Pump Maintenance

In addition to ensuring your heat pump is running smoothly, prioritizing routine inspections and maintenance will also save you money in the long run. If you notice a potential problem with your heat pump, a technician will evaluate the unit and tackle repairs faster. If you ignore the warning signs or don’t clean your unit regularly, a more serious issue may develop. 

Over time, these repairs become larger and more costly as your system continues to struggle and fail. A total heat pump replacement is also possible if you let the problem get bad enough! Thankfully, a quick call to Eternity HVAC will be your solution to avoiding those hefty bills.
