The HomeFront Difference: Our Comprehensive Heat Pump Maintenance Service

Don't wait for a breakdown to think about your heat pump. Regular maintenance is a proactive investment that saves you money and stress in the long run. Our expert technicians perform a meticulous 20+ point heat pump maintenance checklist, meticulously inspecting, cleaning, and tuning your system to factory specifications.

Our Detailed Heat Pump Maintenance Checklist Includes:

• Clean and Inspect Indoor & Outdoor Coils: We meticulously clean the evaporator and condenser coils, removing dirt and debris that restrict airflow and heat transfer, ensuring maximum efficiency for both heating and cooling.
• Check Refrigerant Levels & Inspect for Leaks: Proper refrigerant charge is vital for optimal performance. We verify levels and carefully inspect for any leaks, which can severely impact efficiency and system health.
• Inspect & Clean Air Filters: A clean filter is the first line of defense for your system and your indoor air quality. We inspect existing filters and advise on proper replacement frequency.
• Inspect & Tighten Electrical Connections: Loose electrical connections can pose safety hazards and lead to system malfunctions. We ensure all wiring and connections are secure and safe.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Motors and bearings require proper lubrication to reduce friction and prevent premature wear, extending the life of critical components.
• Check & Calibrate Thermostat: An accurately calibrated thermostat ensures your system operates according to your desired settings, preventing energy waste and ensuring precise temperature control.
• Inspect Condensate Drain Line for Clogs: We clear any blockages in the condensate drain, preventing water damage, mold growth, and potential system shutdowns due to overflowing drip pans.
• Check Fan Motor & Blades: We inspect and clean the indoor and outdoor fan motors and blades, ensuring proper airflow and preventing issues caused by debris or worn components.
• Test Defrost Cycle (for heating season): For effective winter operation, the defrost cycle must function correctly to prevent ice buildup on outdoor coils. We test this crucial component.
• Verify Proper Airflow: Restricted airflow can significantly reduce efficiency and comfort. We ensure your system is moving air effectively throughout your home.
• Inspect Ductwork for Leaks/Damage: Leaky or damaged ducts can lead to significant energy loss. We visually inspect your ductwork for signs of compromise that might affect performance and indoor air quality.
• Measure Temperature Differential: We measure the temperature difference between the supply and return air to ensure your heat pump is heating and cooling effectively.
• Test Safety Controls: Various safety controls protect your system from damage. We test these to ensure they are fully operational, preventing costly repairs and potential hazards.

• Reduced Repair Costs: Small issues caught during routine maintenance are often inexpensive to fix. Ignoring them can lead to larger, more complex, and significantly more expensive repairs down the line.

How Often Should Your Heat Pump Be Serviced?

For optimal performance and efficiency in New Braunfels, we generally recommend servicing your heat pump at least once annually. However, because heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, many homeowners opt for bi-annual maintenance – once in the spring before the intense summer heat, and again in the fall before the winter chill. This ensures your system is properly prepared for the demands of each extreme season, maximizing efficiency and preventing unexpected issues.

Even with regular maintenance, it’s helpful to recognize when your heat pump might need a closer look. Contact HomeFront if you notice:

• Unusual noises (grinding, squealing, buzzing)
• Reduced airflow from vents
• Inconsistent heating or cooling
• Frequent cycling (turning on and off more often)
• Increased energy bills without a change in usage
• Strange odors coming from your vents
• Ice buildup on the outdoor unit in heating mode (beyond normal defrost)
