Your heat pump is an essential appliance that works tirelessly to heat and cool your home. Don’t take it for granted! Make sure you schedule a Heat Pump Tune-up in Sunnyside with Comfort Pro’s Heat and Air regularly to ensure your unit runs in peak condition all year.
A heat pump is naturally a money saver, but when it is optimally maintained, it can be up to 25% more efficient. It should last for 10-25 years. Frequent periodic tune-ups will help your unit fall on the high end of that range.
Signs That Your Heat Pump Needs a Tune-Up
- Funny smells – there could be mold growing in the heat pump, or a burning oil smell could indicate parts are wearing out.
- Different sounds – the heat pump should normally make a soft humming sound. Any other noise indicates it’s time for a tune-up
- Increased utility bill – if your heat pump works inefficiently, it will cost more to cool or heat your home. A tune-up will reduce your energy bill.
- Your home feels too hot or cold, even though the heat pump is still working – there might be a clog or broken part. A tune-up can make you feel more comfortable in your home.
- Your heat pump is getting old – a tune-up can prolong the life of your heat pump
