Perform a DIY Heating Maintenance Service

Although a professional inspection and maintenance of your ductless heat pump will ensure your system is performing well overall, it doesn’t hurt to give your heat pump a little TLC once in a while. As a homeowner, there are a few things you can do to help keep your heat pump strong and healthy all year long.

Change air filters: The single, most important thing you can do to help extend your heat pump’s lifespan and lower your utility bills is to change air filters as often as needed. Air filters can accumulate a lot of dust and dirt, which restricts airflow and ultimately damages the system.
Remove outdoor debris: The outdoor compressor should never be obstructed in any way. If there is any snow or ice on the unit, remove it to the best of your ability. Trim foliage, so it’s at least 15 feet away. Remove any other debris that sits on the unit.
Clean fans and coils: Fans and coils can gather dust and dirt that circulate it throughout the heat pump and the house. Make sure you clean fans and coils as best as you can without dismantling or damaging the system.
Check for proper drainage: The heat pump should be elevated at least four to eight inches above the ground to ensure proper drainage. If you notice your heat pump is sitting too low or has developed a leak, contact a professional immediately.
Inspect for damages: While you’re performing your other maintenance duties, look for any indications of damage, so you schedule a heat pump repair service right away.
