Heating and cooling your Raeford, NC home with a heat pump is a great way to be energy efficient. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), at certain points of the year, using a heat pump could reduce your HVAC-related energy use compared to other systems, by as much as 50%. To enjoy optimum HVAC performance and efficiency, take note of these three important reasons for getting a tune-up for your heat pump.
1. Your Heat Pump Manufacturer’s Warranty Requires It
All new heat pumps come with a manufacturer’s warranty. Yours might have a limited parts warranty and a separate warranty for its compressor. To maintain compliance with the terms of these mutually binding agreements, you must schedule maintenance each year.
Manufacturer warranties cover heat pump repair or replacement services for damages caused by defective parts. When warranty holders are non-compliant and fail to get regular, professional maintenance, manufacturers can delay or deny their claims or void their coverage outright.
2. Prevent Heating and Cooling Emergencies
For year-round heat pump use, servicing your equipment in the spring and fall works best. This primes heat pumps for high-demand seasons, optimizes their efficiency and boosts indoor air quality (IAQ). More importantly, it greatly reduces the likelihood of mid-season heating and cooling emergencies.
During a tune-up, our technicians will thoroughly inspect the system. They can find any problems that could lead to a breakdown when the system is battling extreme heat or cold. That way, any issues or problems can be addressed before the season starts.
3. Extend the Lifespan of Your Heat Pump
Like all HVAC equipment, heat pumps tend to last longer when well-maintained. They also experience fewer costly repairs throughout their lifespans.
