The lifespan of a heat pump system in Maurice, LA, depends on the equipment’s quality, installation and how well you maintain it. As a home or business owner, you want your HVAC equipment to last through its warranty period and beyond. Here are some tips for adding years to your heat pump installation:
Replace Your Heat Pump’s Filter Frequently
As simple as a filter seems, it plays a critical role in how well your heat pump works and how clean the air is that you breathe. Filters collect dust and particulates that would otherwise recirculate in the conditioned air and back into the equipment.
Changing dirty or clogged filters helps heat pumps run more efficiently because air can pass through unhindered, and debris doesn’t build up on the internal components of the heat pump. The equipment won’t work so hard, and you may notice that your energy costs drop when you replace filters per the manufacturer and comfort specialist’s recommendations.
Landscape Around Outdoor Equipment
The outdoor condenser relies on free-flowing air just as much as the indoor components. We recommend that you prune branches and foliage around the condenser to keep it free of twigs and leaves.
You also need to trim tall grass in summer. And make sure your service provider cleans the condenser coils of organic matter during routine maintenance.
Schedule Maintenance for Your Heat Pump Installation
Seasonal heat pump maintenance is necessary to keep your system running cleanly and efficiently for as long as possible. During a scheduled maintenance visit, our skilled service technicians not only clean and calibrate the system but also find any components that need repairs to prevent the system from failing prematurely. Don’t skip maintenance, especially right before the summer heat and humidity ramp up.
A heat pump installation in Maurice, LA is only as good as the technicians doing the work, the quality of the equipment and the care the system receives.
