Heat Pump Maintenance in Jefferson County, MO

What is Included in our Heat Pump Maintenance Plan

The team at Ricotta Heating understand the importance of properly maintaining your heat pump, which is why we offer a comprehensive maintenance plan. We take a number of steps to ensure that your unit runs at its best. Our heat pump maintenance plan includes the following:

• Cleaning: During a maintenance visit, your technician will clean the various components of your heat pump, including the coils, air filter, and drain lines. This helps ensure that your heat pump is not being restricted by dirt and debris, which can cause reduced efficiency and lead to repairs.
• Inspection: A professional technician will inspect your heat pump for any signs of wear or damage, such as leaks, rust, or damaged parts. They will also check refrigerant levels, which can drop over time and cause issues if not addressed.
• Lubrication: The moving parts of your heat pump require proper lubrication to function smoothly and efficiently. During maintenance, your technician will lubricate these parts to help prevent friction and wear, which can lead to breakdowns and repairs.
• Calibration: A technician will ensure that your heat pump is properly calibrated, which means that it’s working in sync with the thermostat. This can help ensure that your system is heating or cooling your home correctly and prevent issues that may cause the system to work harder and become more vulnerable to repairs.

Why Heat Pump Maintenance is Important

Heat pumps are a popular and efficient choice for heating and cooling homes, but like any mechanical system, they require regular maintenace to keep them running at their best. Regular maintenance helps ensure that your heat pump is performing at peak efficiency. This means that it will use less energy to heat or cool your home, which can result in significant savings on your energy bills. Additionally, well-maintained heat pumps tend to last longer, saving you money on replacement costs in the long run.

Another important reason to keep your heat pump maintained is that it helps prevent breakdowns and unexpected repairs. Our technicians check for signs of wear and tear and address and potential issues before they become major problems. This can save you the inconvenience and expense of dealing with a breakdown in the middle of a heat wave or cold snap.

Regular maintenance also helps ensure that your heat pump is safe to use. A technician will check for potential hazards like frayed wires or leaks, and address them before they cause any harm. This will give you peace of mind knowing that your heat pump is not only keeping you comfortable, but also safe.

Lastly, regular maintenance keeps your heat pump running quietly. Over time, dirt, dust, and debris can build up in your heat pump, causing it to run louder than usual. One of our technicians will clean and check all the components of your heat pump, ensuring that it is running quietly and efficiently.
