Reliable HVAC Care in the Upstate
Heat Pump Maintenance & Tune-Ups
Unlike furnaces or air conditioners, your heat pump works year-round — heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. That means it sees twice the wear and tear of a typical HVAC system. Regular maintenance is the only way to keep it efficient, reliable, and long-lasting.

Why It Matters
Why Heat Pump Maintenance Matters
Here are the most common risks we prevent with regular heat pump tune-ups:
Loss of Efficiency
A neglected heat pump can lose up to 25% of its efficiency, raising your utility bills.
Refrigerant Issues
Low or leaking refrigerant reduces performance in both heating and cooling mode.
Defrost Cycle Failures
Without maintenance, your system may fail to defrost properly in winter, leading to ice buildup and system strain.
Premature Wear & Breakdowns
Year-round use means parts wear out faster. Routine checks catch problems early and keep your system reliable.
Regular maintenance doesn't just extend the lifespan of your heat pump — it also ensures comfort in every season.
