Refrigerant and Air Filters

During a typical routine maintenance visit, a check of your refrigerant lines and air filters happens first. This is because these two areas are often where many problems begin! 

Dirty air filters force your heat pump to work in overdrive to move air through your air conditioning system, which will eventually become too much of a strain and will lead to malfunctions. A clogged air filter is also a potential safety hazard. Over time, the strain on your cooling and heating system produces higher levels of carbon monoxide, which is dangerous or even deadly. 

While refrigerant issues may not be emergencies, they are still troublesome for your system. Refrigerant pulls heat out of the air, and if your lines are leaking or if your levels get too low, your system will not be able to cool down your air effectively. Warm air will start to flow from your vents as a result. 

Evaporator and Condenser Coil Inspection 

The evaporator and condenser coils are the perfect pair when they are working smoothly. These two heat exchangers heat or cool your home depending on the season. Because they are so important to the function of your heat pump system, they need regular cleaning to avoid dust and debris buildup. 

A typical heat pump inspection and cleaning will involve:

• A thorough inspection of the coils and surrounding area
• Removal of debris with a soft brush or cloth
• A deep clean of the coils to remove oil and grease
• Minor repairs and tightening of any loose lines

Depending on the results of the inspection, our team will also discuss with you whether to repair or replace certain parts of your system. 

Even though the upfront cost may be more for a replacement, doing so will save you serious money if you can avoid major malfunctions. 

Condensate and Drain Line Maintenance 

Your heat pump warms and cools air, which naturally results in condensation. To avoid moisture problems, your heat pump system has to have somewhere for this moisture to go! Your condensate line removes this moisture and carries it away from your unit where it drips at a safe location away from your home. 

During an inspection, our technicians check for potential issues like if hot water is flowing from your line or if there is a clog preventing the flow altogether. 

Following your thorough inspection, our team will perform a full system check to make sure the repairs and cleaning did not negatively affect your heat pump’s functionality. We won’t rest until we are 100% certain that your heat pump is in good working condition for you and your family.
