Don’t Skip Fall Heat Pump Maintenance!

Arguably, fall is the best time of year for homeowners in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, to schedule tuneups for their heat pumps. Here are a few special advantages of scheduling fall heat pump maintenance:

Preparation for Winter

Although Florida winters are mild, your heat pump’s heat-generating capabilities will face their greatest test of the entire year. You need to ensure that your system can meet this challenge.

Your heat pump can have issues that may become apparent once winter arrives, even if they haven’t caused trouble just yet. One of the main purposes of maintenance is to detect and preemptively treat such issues, allowing you to confidently greet the winter.

Less Demand and a Lower Price

HVAC industry professionals vigorously recommend that everyone schedule maintenance for their heat pumps at least once a year. Since you’ll have to do this sooner or later, it’s best to do it when demand is lowest. That way, it’s likely that you won’t have to wait long for a service technician to show up, and the cost of their visit will typically be lower than at busier times of the year.

Lower Utility Bills

Speaking of lower costs, keep in mind that tuning up your heat pump can help decrease your utility bills. By supporting your HVAC system in using energy as efficiently as possible, maintenance can allow you to enjoy lower power bills for some time to come without sacrificing your ability to stay comfortable. To maximize this effect, you also need to keep your system’s filters clean and change them every one to three months.
