Service & Maintenance

Keeping the system at the efficiency you paid for

Keeping the system at the efficiency you paid for

Protect the performance you bought

Filters, coils, refrigerant charge and airflow all affect how a heat pump performs. Regular attention helps the system keep moving heat as efficiently as its condition allows.

Four performance fundamentals

Filters, coils, charge and airflow work together

A problem in any one of these areas can make the whole system work harder. A useful service visit looks at the connected system, not one isolated symptom. Charge confirmed by superheat or subcooling, and airflow confirmed by a real static-pressure reading, are the two checks the ANSI/ACCA 5 QI-2015 quality installation standard asks for at startup, and they are worth repeating on a system that has been running for years.

A useful first conversation

Three questions a service conversation should answer

  1. Bedroom in winter with one low baseboard heater along the wall and snow on the roofline outside

    Where is comfort falling short?

    Start with the rooms, seasons and current system behavior that brought you here.

  2. Open electrical panel interior with two rows of breakers and neatly run branch conductors

    What can the house support?

    The building, electrical service and existing distribution all shape which options deserve a closer look.

  3. Thermal imaging camera on a tripod aimed at a window, a gloved hand steadying it

    What still needs verification?

    Equipment selection and final scope depend on measured conditions, not a web-page shortcut.
