Heat pumps require regular maintenance just like any other home appliance. In fact, scheduling routine inspections and making necessary repairs not only lengthens the life of your heat pump, but increases its energy efficiency as well. While some heat pump maintenance tasks can be completed on your own, Combs Heating & Cooling in Chillicothe, OH, is available to answer any of your questions and conduct comprehensive inspections anytime you’d like.

Regardless of the age of your unit, here are some of the most common maintenance tasks completed by a heating contractor during a heat pump inspection:

• Clean Dirt Or Debris: Anytime there is dust or some other type of material obstructing airflow, it affects the overall efficiency of your heat pump. Combs Heating & Cooling has the equipment and the skills to quickly and efficiently remove debris from your system, thus reducing waste and lowering your utility bills.
• Fix Duct Leaks: Heating systems utilize complex systems of air ducts to send warm air throughout your home or office. When there’s a rip or a hole in the duct work, your space will not be heated efficiently, leading to compromised comfort and a larger utility bill to pay.
• Check Fluids: Similar to other machines with moving parts, heat pumps need to be regularly lubed and oiled up to operate correctly. Additionally, an HVAC technician can check your refrigerant levels, check for leaks, and ultimately ensure your system will make it through another chilly Ohio winter.

From testing your thermostat to measuring the airflow traveling out of your heat pump and into your ducts, Combs Heating & Cooling does everything they can to guarantee your heating and cooling system is prepared for the weather ahead.
