What to Expect During Heat Pump Maintenance Services

During a maintenance call, you can expect a First Choice Heating & Air Conditioning licensed technician to evaluate your heat pump's performance at various temperatures. The evaluation will determine the condition of the unit and what repairs or adjustments are needed.

Heat pump maintenance services include inspection and cleaning when the electricity is turned off.

During the appointment, you can also expect the following maintenance services:

• Replace or clean the air filter if needed.
• Ensure that all electrical connection parts are in good working order.
• Examine the airflow and refrigerant charge levels, and look for leaks.
• Inspect that each component's physical connections are secure.
• Inspect the reversing valve.
• Look for any bulging or unusually colored markings on the run capacitor.
• Examine and clean the coil and exterior unit.
• Check the defrost cycle.
• The air handler unit's blower parts will be cleaned and adjusted.
• Condensate drainage will be inspected and cleaned.

Once the heat pump maintenance is complete, you will receive a report of all the completed tests and inspections. In addition, the technician will provide you with recommendations for necessary repairs or replacements.
