How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If you use your heat pump for heating and cooling, you should service it twice annually, in the fall and the spring.

What is the life span of a heat pump?

The average life span of a heat pump is 10-15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round to heat and cool your home, they don’t always last as long as a typical heating or cooling system. However, you can extend the life span by ensuring that your unit is routinely maintained by an HVAC professional.

What Happens During Furnace Tune-Ups?

Knowing what happens during your furnace tune-up can help you as a homeowner. It will help you understand how your heating system works and what parts need the most attention.

Continue reading as Tyler discusses what happens during a furnace tune-up.

Importance of Furnace Tune-Ups

Furnace tune-ups are more than just a scheduled chore for you and your contractor. They involve important processes that aim to improve the efficiency of your furnace. Heating systems are used by various households in the U.S., and tune-ups help keep them performing up to standard. Tune-ups also prevent any issues from becoming more serious hazards or problems.

Older heating systems, for example, are more prone to inefficiency and issues when they’re not regularly and properly maintained. Heating systems also need to be prepped for the colder seasons.

If you want to get the most out of your furnace and save on energy costs, then it’s best to have your furnace tuned up at least once a year.
