Heat Pump Maintenance Tips to Save Energy and Money This Winter

HVAC Tips & Tricks

Heat pumps are popular HVAC systems in Phoenix, AZ, because they provide energy-efficient heating and cooling. But to maximize how efficiently your heat pump operates, you must maintain it regularly. Here are a few heat pump maintenance tips you should follow to enjoy higher operational efficiency and more energy savings this winter:

Change the Filter Frequently

The filter in your heat pump prevents particles from collecting on the system’s components and inhibiting energy-efficient operation. It also helps to improve your indoor air quality so that you can breathe cleaner air. For all of this to happen, the filter must be clean. Check your heat pump’s filter every month. If it’s dirty, change it.

Check the Area Around the Outdoor Unit

It’s critical the outdoor portion of your heat pump has at least two feet of clearance and nothing on top of it. Take a moment to walk outside and inspect the area. Trim any brush and remove debris to ensure proper airflow.

Clear Obstructions Around the Vents

While you’re at it, walk around your house and inspect all the supply vents. Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and ensure furniture or other items aren’t obstructing them. This will also help to move the conditioned air freely.

Schedule Heat Pump Maintenance

The aforementioned tasks are easy enough for any homeowner to complete, but you should leave all other heat pump maintenance to a trained, certified and experienced HVAC professional. Your service technician will repair any problems with your heat pump, clean it and test it to ensure it operates as efficiently as possible this winter.

Regular air conditioning maintenance is essential to keep your HVAC system running efficiently, reliably, and cost-effectively.

Schedule an Advanced A/C tune up with REEIS Air Conditioning to maximize comfort, minimize costs, and protect your investment in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Mesa, Tempe and surrounding areas.

What is considered an evidence based HVAC recommendation?

Every component of a HVAC recommendation should be supported by evidence. Evidence should come in the form of a reading, a picture or a technician physically showing you the condition or product they are recommending.

Most air conditioning companies, not REEIS, pay their technician with 100% commission. When a technician is paid only if they sell a product or service it can result in a technician recommending a product or service you may not need. It is always recommended that you request the technician provide you the evidence of the recommendation.

Do air conditioning system have parts which wear out?

Yes. Several air conditioning parts are wear out parts. Just like any car, there are several components which should be replaced as they are beyond their useful life. If you neglect the worn part replacement, larger, more expense repairs may result.

How long does a heating and air conditioning system typically last?

In our Phoenix's extreme climate, air conditioning systems typically have a 10 to 12 year lifespan. Well maintained systems can last significantly longer.

How often should I replace my air conditioning system's filters?

In Phoenix's heavy air conditioning use, most systems require filter changes a minimum of 30 days. Larger format filter such as the REEIS Performance Filters can last as long as 6 months.

If you do not change your filters regularly, you will restrict air flow and allow dirt to infiltrate your HVAC system. Dirt is the enemy of your heating and air conditioning system. If interior components get dirty, the performance of the system is significantly impacted. Interior components such as coils and blower wheels are expensive to clean.
