We all know how hot and stuffy our summers can get, and in fact that’s probably what we think about for most of the year. But even if we don’t have a rough winter, our homes do get cold this time of year, and you’ll want a fully functioning heating system to keep you warm. Heat pump systems are a great choice for homeowners throughout Schererville, providing reliable cooling in the summer and warmth during the winter.

If you do have a heat pump, then hopefully you had it maintained during the spring to prep it for summer. This is really the best way to make sure that your system makes it through an entire summer without any major problems or spikes in operating costs. Now that it’s fall, you may think that all you need to do is simply switch your heat pump over to heating mode and it will be a done deal. But this is not the case.

Scheduling Bi-Annual Heat Pump Maintenance

Since a heat pump system is not the same as a conventional air conditioner or furnace—meaning that it doesn’t only work during a single part of the year and then go into hibernation—it’s used twice as much. This means that the same compressor, motors, fans, relays, and refrigerant coils continue to work regardless if the system is in heating mode or cooling mode.

When you really think about how much work your heat pump goes through, you can begin to understand why it’s important to have it inspected and tuned-up twice a year, and annual maintenance just isn’t enough. Twice a year inspections and cleanings will ensure that you can enjoy this HVAC system all year round.
