Winter may not be the best time to install a new heating system in your home. However, if you are in the market for a new heater right now you probably don’t have much of a choice. You don’t want to go without a heating system any longer than you have to, even in a place like California. If you’re looking to have a new heater installed, you should take a look at what a heat pump system can offer. Let’s go over how a heat pump operates, what makes it different from other types of heating systems, and the advantages that one can offer you if you install it this winter.
How can I maintain my heat pump for long-term efficiency and comfort?
- Replace or clean the air filter every 1-3 months to maintain healthy airflow.
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris, leaves, and snow; trim back vegetation to allow proper air circulation.
- Clean both indoor and outdoor coils periodically to improve heat transfer efficiency.
- Schedule professional maintenance annually (in spring or fall) to check refrigerant, electrical connections, blower, thermostat, and overall system calibration.Monitor performance and inspect for unusual noises, icing, or airflow issues, these may signal the need for service.
