Having a maintenance check-up on your ductless heat pump comes with numerous benefits. It ensures the equipment’s efficient and reliable operation, saving you money over time. Aside from saving money, performing maintenance on your heat pump is essential for healthy air quality; by replacing filters and adjusting and cleaning blower wheels, you are helping to remove dust, allergens, dander and other particulate matter from your environment.

How often should you have your ductless heat pump maintained?

Maintaining your ductless heat pump annually is key to optimizing its performance and longevity. We suggest joining a maintenance plan, such as our Comfort Club, to save money on this. Most companies offer a maintenance plan, and reminders should be sent to you when it’s time to schedule your annual maintenance, so you don’t need to set reminders. During a maintenance check-up, your HVAC experts should ensure that all the components are in good working order and working together effectively to spread warm air throughout your home. Ultimately, ensuring your ductless heat pump is inspected annually will ensure it runs smoothly and cost-effectively for years to come.
