Reasons to Schedule a Fall Heat Pump Maintenance Visit

When temperatures drop in Bandera, TX, some homeowners switch their heat pump to heating mode. These devices undergo a lot of wear and tear, but if you schedule maintenance during the fall, you could then enjoy months of coziness with no interruptions.

Save Money

Paying for routine maintenance could save you thousands of dollars in the future. HVAC professionals could find leaks, faulty wiring, loose parts, corrosion and other issues before your heat pump becomes unusable. Degradation doesn’t go away on its own, and if you don’t act soon, you might have to replace your heat pump.

Functional heat pumps are also more efficient. Broken heat pumps require more power to operate, straining the system and driving up your electric bills. When everything works smoothly, you’ll burn less energy and enjoy the savings.

Increase Safety

Waiting until the heat pump starts rattling or producing strange odors could put your entire household at risk. Malfunctioning heat pumps could lead to fires and tripped circuit breakers. With regular maintenance, HVAC professionals can catch potential issues and restore your heat pump to working order.

Get Service at Your Convenience

Fall and winter are the “busy seasons” for heating maintenance professionals. Many of your neighbors may run their systems, resulting in frequent service calls. If you service your heat pump right before the busy season, you’ll have access to more convenient service times before everyone’s trying to squeeze in an appointment.

Enjoy Cleaner Air

Dirty components and clogged air filters may release dust, pollen, bacteria and pollutants into the air. During maintenance, HVAC experts can clean your heat pump and replace grimy air filters to improve air quality.
