What maintenance does a heat pump need most often?

The maintenance a heat pump needs most often is routine cleaning and inspection to keep airflow clear and refrigerant components stable. The most common trigger for poor performance is restricted airflow from dirty filters or coils. Schedule annual professional tune-ups; our technicians are trained and certified to service and maintain heat pumps, and we offer an MVP maintenance plan for ongoing reliability. Filters are not included in the MVP and must be purchased by the homeowner. We service heat pumps throughout the Cocoa Beach area, where salty coastal air makes coil cleaning especially important.

Key tasks a pro covers:

• Replace or wash return air filters.
• Clean indoor and outdoor coils.
• Clear the condensate drain line.
• Check refrigerant charge and defrost.

Shut the system off and call if you see heavy ice or smell burning.
