Expert Heat Pump Maintenance in Columbus, Ohio
Whether it’s the frigid weather of winter or central Ohio’s muggy summer heat, heat pumps work hard for us outside throughout the most extreme temperatures and conditions — faithfully operating day and night to keep our homes comfortable no matter what’s going. As such, Columbus area homeowners who have these systems depend on them for comfort. To make sure our heat pump continues to perform with optimal efficiency in mind, and to save us hard-earned cash to prolong their lifespan, there’s no substitute for regular seasonal maintenance performed consistently each year by a local NATE-certified heat pump expert that’s reputable, honest and affordable.
Keeping up on maintenance every year helps this dual cooling and heating system to perform the way it should — smoothly and far more efficiently for far longer than it would without the service. Ultimately, maintenance reduces (if not eliminates) those unexpected surprises that leave us wishing we’d taken care of it when we had the chance, when it would have cost a lot less. No one likes having to pay for emergency repairs to heat pumps. And yet, when we neglect maintenance, this is what happens eventually.
Benefits of Heat Pump Maintenance
Heat pumps, like air conditioning equipment, require adequate airflow through an indoor and an outdoor coil to transfer hot and cold air. Making sure its equipment and parts are regularly clean and maintenance is performed regularly helps a homeowner avoid expensive and inconvenient heat pump repair bills.
Maintenance Lengthens the Lifespan
If you own a heat pump, preventative maintenance should always be a part of your annual home improvement or home maintenance plan as it lengthens the equipment’s lifespan, enabling it to perform more efficiently and last a lot longer. The following are a few ways it helps:
- Our technician cleans the coils and we replace air filters to promote proper airflow, preventing wear and tear on the equipment;
- Our technician recharges refrigerant levels, which allows the equipment to run like it’s supposed to. Heat pumps that are low on refrigerant struggle to maintain temperature levels, which can cause damage to the compressor;
- We can make minor repairs found during the visit at a reduced cost, as opposed to costing more when done on an emergency basis when the unit goes down.
Enhance Heat Pump Energy Efficiency
Heat pumps use a large coil outside the home and a second coil inside to transfer heat, as necessary, for both the heating and cooling of the dwelling. Because the outside coil is exposed to Ohio’s weather 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, they are prone to collect dirt, dust, debris and other contaminants. This is especially bad when it gets wet. Additionally, because the inside coil is near the air handle and that generates condensation in certain conditions, that’s also somewhat of a magnet for airborne pollutants. That area is also prone to collecting dirt, pet dander, mildew and mold. Because these coils perform best when they’re cleaned, it’s important to give them the regular care they need.
Peace of Mind Plus Money Savings
When any sort of HVAC equipment isn’t regularly maintained by a professional, it becomes susceptible to a host of problems, which usually transpire at the worst times or when you least expect it — when the system is working its hardest, which is when it’s most needed. Because replacement parts and labor generally has a higher cost during emergency situations, having your heat pump tuned-up on a regular and frequent schedule helps you avoid these unexpected costs and save more money in the long run.
Because of this, a homeowner can enjoy peace of mind with greater energy efficiency benefits, which means money savings over time.
