Heat Pump Tune Up and Maintenance

Do you need a Heat Pump tune up?

Bucks HVAC has been tuning up heat pump systems in the Bucks County area for over 5 years. We will gladly come out to your home and tune up your heat pump to provide you and your family the comfort you desire. Your heating and cooling system is typically 50 percent of the energy cost in your home.  While changing the air filter is one of the simplest things you can do to keep your heat pump working, a regular maintenance routine with a heat pump professional will keep your unit from malfunctioning during the hottest days of the summer and coldest days of winter. If you ever wondered whether a heat pump tune-up is necessary, then you need to ask yourself these simple questions.

    Would you like to save money on energy costs?

    Are you looking for a way to help your expensive heat pump equipment last longer?

    Are you interested in improving your heat pump system’s performance and efficiency?

    Have you ever wished that you could help prevent costly heat pump breakdowns?

    Do you want to protect your family with better heat pump safety?

    Is comfort important in your home?

If you are like most homeowners, the answer to all these questions is a resounding yes.  Fortunately, regular HVAC tune-ups can bring you all these benefits, and more.  According to www.energystar.gov, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort and pre-season check-ups can prevent future problems and unwanted costs. Have your heat pump inspected at least once a year. During a complete heat pump tune up, you should expect the specialist to:

1. Inspect coolant levels and pressure
2. Calibrate thermostat(s) and check proper cycle and temperature
3. Inspect and tighten wiring, contacts, capacitors and relay
4. Ensure the evaporator coil is clean
5. Ensure the condensate drain is clear
6. Inspect and clean the condenser
7. Inspect the outdoor disconnect
8. Inspect the condenser fan motor and blades; lubricate if needed
9. Check compressor amps at startup
10. Perform additional safety and efficiency checks, as needed
