In the same way you perform maintenance on your vehicle regularly, you should do the same with the heat pump in your Notre Dame, IN home. Read on to learn about some benefits of having fall heat pump maintenance done.
1. Your Heat Pump Will Last Longer
Generally, a heat pump’s lifespan typically starts at about 10 years. If you have that routine maintenance on your heat pump and use the system moderately, then you can potentially lengthen its lifespan up to about 15-20 years.
2. You’ll Keep the Warranty Active
Heat pump warranties usually require you to have a professional technician perform routine maintenance. If you don’t, then the warranty may cease to cover your heat pump for any future repairs.
Remember, most homeowner’s insurance policies only cover damage to HVAC units from disasters or “acts of God” and not wear and tear. So, maintaining your warranty is a smart choice.
3. Regular Maintenance is Less Expensive Than Major Repairs
Let’s say that your heat pump has a wire that’s losing its insulation. That wire could cause arcs or short circuits if it somehow gets close enough to another metal component of your heat pump.
If you schedule routine maintenance visits, your technician will have the opportunity to notice faulty wires and numerous other potential issues. Fixing such issues early on is much easier and less costly than replacing a big component, such as the compressor.
Having your HVAC maintenance done in the fall will help ensure your system is ready to handle those cold winter months and won’t leave you in a bind.
