Even though we’re inching closer to winter, it’s not too late to schedule a fall heat pump tune-up. Neglecting to schedule fall maintenance for your Horizon, TX heat pump system poses several potential problems. Keep reading to learn more about what can potentially happen if you skip fall heat pump maintenance.
Shortened System Lifespan
Typically, heat pumps should last between 10 and 15 years. However, to make your heat pump last that long, or perhaps even longer, you’ll need to invest in regular maintenance.
We typically recommend that heat pump owners have their systems tuned up every spring and fall. Heat pump maintenance is largely about reducing the strain that your HVAC system undergoes during operation.
More Frequent Breakdowns
Reducing the strain on your HVAC system not only improves your energy efficiency but also cuts down on the likelihood of your heat pump breaking down and needing repairs. Lubricating moving parts, tightening connections and other maintenance tasks help cut down on friction within your system. Reducing the likelihood of a breakdown helps you stay warm all winter and save on the cost of heat pump repairs and replacement parts.
Poor Energy Efficiency
Instead of viewing heat pump maintenance as an added expense, consider it an investment in the efficiency and performance of the appliance. During a maintenance visit, a service tech will examine your heat pump thoroughly, lubricate all moving parts and ensure that your system operates exactly as it’s designed to do. This helps reduce the strain on your system, allowing your heat pump to operate as efficiently as possible.
