Did you know that heat pumps require professional maintenance twice each year? This may seem like a lot, but it really isn’t. In fact, it’s actually an investment that could easily save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars over the life of your heat pump.
Keep reading to learn about the money-saving benefits of biannual heat pump maintenance. Then, give our team a call to schedule your heat pump maintenance in Daleville, VA. Staying ahead by scheduling proactive service is the best way to prevent unnecessary breakdowns and more expensive repair needs.
Why Biannual Maintenance?
Having a separate air conditioner and heater means that each unit gets a break for a portion of the year. Your air conditioner is off during the winter season when temperatures are at their coldest outside, and vice versa for your heater. These breaks mean that the systems don’t take on wear and tear quite as quickly.
A heat pump does not enjoy the same benefits since it operates all year long without any breaks. Unless you turn your heat pump off when the weather is mild to give it a break, the system operates around the clock every day of the year. This extra wear and tear means that the system needs extra care. That’s why we recommend maintenance twice per year instead of just once.
Save Money on Energy Costs
When maintenance is prioritized twice each year, our team can make little tweaks to the system to help it maintain a higher level of energy efficiency all year long. This translates into lower operational costs, as the unit doesn’t have to work as hard to produce results.
The added benefit is that energy efficiency compounds over the years, so you save more and more on your energy costs instead of spending more and more, as wear and tear increases the energy required for operation.
Save Money on Repairs
You’re also going to save money over what would potentially be more expensive repairs. Maintenance is almost always cheaper than repairs because you are taking proactive steps to care for your heat pump. If you wait until something goes wrong, those issues will likely be more expensive to address than if you had been proactive.
Plus, major issues can leave behind lasting damage that compounds over time to create additional repair needs as time goes on. With maintenance, you can largely avoid these problems, which also means less of a headache when it comes to scheduling surprise appointments because something is going wrong.
Extend Longevity
All of these things add up to a system that has a better-expected lifespan. You’ve probably heard the old adage that when you take care of something, it will last longer, and it’s true for your heat pump as well. Instead of getting just 8 to 10 years of life out of your heat pump, you can easily get 15 years instead, which saves you money since you won’t have to replace your heat pump quite as soon.
