Heat Pump Maintenance Guide
Heat pumps run year-round — regular maintenance keeps efficiency, comfort and warranty intact.
Because a heat pump both heats and cools, it works year-round and benefits from regular maintenance even more than a furnace.
Professional maintenance
A technician checks refrigerant charge, cleans indoor and outdoor coils, tests the reversing valve and defrost cycle, inspects electrical connections, and verifies airflow and drainage.
Homeowner care
Change filters regularly, keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, snow and debris, maintain clearance around it, and watch for ice, noise or efficiency drops.
Key takeaways
- Service annually (ideally twice for heavy use)
- Keep the outdoor unit clear and level
- Change filters on schedule
- Clean coils for efficiency
