Heat pumps require minimal maintenance, but regular service is important for optimal performance in Connecticut’s demanding climate. We recommend professional maintenance twice a year—once before heating season and once before cooling season—to keep your system running efficiently.
During maintenance visits, we clean or replace filters, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, and test all system components. We also clean condenser coils, which can accumulate debris from Connecticut’s seasonal changes, and verify that your system’s defrost cycle is working properly for winter operation.
Between professional visits, the main thing you need to do is change your air filter regularly—typically every 1-3 months depending on usage and your home’s conditions. Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, snow, and debris, and call us if you notice any unusual noises or performance issues.
