Around the time you power your Notre Dame, IN heat pump into cooling mode this spring, your system needs professional maintenance. Maintenance is essential every year to keep your system healthy. Learn more below about the specific problems you face when you skip scheduling heat pump maintenance this spring.
Breakdowns and Repair Costs
Without routine maintenance, you are more likely to experience breakdowns and failures with your heat pump as it attempts to cool your home. The heat pump needs regular cleaning and tuning as well as inspections to ensure everything is in good working condition. Breakdowns are common when you neglect spring maintenance due to wear and tear and dirty conditions.
Decreased Efficiency
When the parts of your system work smoothly, the heat pump requires less energy to cool your home. Without maintenance to keep the components in good shape, you might see your utility costs rise sharply.
Shortened Life For Your AC
Allowing the components inside your heat pump to become dirty and worn can turn into a much shorter life for your system. An average heat pump should provide 10-15 years of solid heating and cooling. Skipping maintenance could result in premature wear and tear that ends the system’s life much earlier than anticipated.
Voided Warranty
A manufacturer’s warranty generally covers major malfunctions and breakdowns caused by faulty components. Your heat pump likely included a warranty when you purchased it. Without annual maintenance, you could void this warranty and be on the hook for all repair costs out of your own pocket.
Optimizing your heat pump with annual maintenance means you can enjoy the fresh feeling of spring without worrying about its condition during the upcoming summer. As the temperatures heat up, make sure you’re covered with spring maintenance.
