Cut Down on Repairs with the Right Maintenance
Heat pumps and geothermal systems may require repairs over time or in case of accidental damage. But with the right maintenance plan in place, repairs are seldom needed. Southcoast Heat Pumps provides expert repair should the need arise, and offers every customer our comprehensive maintenance package. This annual check-up ensures your system is running properly.
To maintain maximum energy efficiency, your system needs regular service. At Southcoast Heat Pumps we can help you repair any issues before they cause problems and ensure your system runs at its best.
Heat pump systems should receive regular maintenance at least every year. If the system is used year-round you may need to schedule maintenance twice as often. In such cases you could have preventive maintenance done every spring and fall, to make sure that your ductless heat pump is in good shape throughout the year.
You can take several steps to help keep your system in peak shape between service visits and seasons.
Clean the outside of the unit: Keep the surface of the unit dust-fere with a damp cloth.
Give it some space: To avoid surfaces collecting dust and lowering the efficiency, there should be about four feet of space in any direction between your system and the clearest piece of furniture or wall decoration.
Clean the coil and condenser outside: First make sure the system is powered off. Then use a garden hose to loosen or wash away any dirt or bits of vegetation.
Schedule regular maintenance: Leave the more in-depth routine maintenance to professionals. Annual tune-ups (as included in our maintenance package) provide a chance to look for hose blockages, refrigerant leaks, electrical issues, and anything else that needs attention. These preventative measures can help avoid costly repairs later.
The average homeowner spends between $75 and $360 annually on air conditioner maintenance, with most spending between $100 and $150. At Southcoast Heat Pumps our maintenance plans can reduce this annual cost while ensuring your system lasts as long as possible.
