HEAT PUMP MAINTENANCE
FOR PACE, PENSACOLA, CRESTVIEW, BAKER, NICEVILLE, FL & BEYOND
Heat pump maintenance is critical for keeping your system working efficiently for many years. It’s also the simplest approach to saving energy and bypassing expensive, annoying repair calls.
When you don’t have a semi-yearly heat pump maintenance appointment, your unit can be responsible for a lot of high electricity costs and home comfort. Studies even show that heat pumps that aren’t maintained operate less efficiently than ones that are. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, an extremely overlooked heat pump can eat to 10 to 25% more electricity than a taken-care-of unit, which you’ll see reflected on your utility expenses each month – and it won’t be a low price.
Thankfully, heat pump maintenance makes your unit more reliable too. You may have complications hiding in plain sight, but you won’t be able to spot them until you receive maintenance services from a professionally trained technician. At Gordon Air Conditioning, our crew can help manage these small issues before they become major problems for clients in the Pensacola, Pace, Milton, Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Mary Esther, Shalimar, Crestview, Baker, Niceville, FL areas.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD MY HEAT PUMP BE MAINTAINED?
At Gordon Air Conditioning, we recommend bringing in professional HVAC technicians at least biannually, once in the fall and once in the spring, for heat pump maintenance. When the changing seasons become warmer or cooler, it’s a good time for heating and cooling service.
Your unit operates all year to keep you and your family comfortable, but all that effort can cause strain or even a service call, especially if you neglect maintenance.
HEAT PUMP SERVICE LIST
You already understand maintenance is needed for an efficient, reliable heat pump, but what can you do to plan for your upcoming maintenance? Here are a few DIY tasks you can complete before your Gordon Air Conditioning specialist arrives:
● Inspect your outdoor equipment. Your heat pump needs to stay free from debris at all times to function properly. Double check that there’s no clutter resting on or by your heat pump. You’ll want about two feet free around your unit in all directions.
● Spruce up your unit. Ensure your outside unit isn’t dirty. If it is, shut it off and delicately spray it with a decreased-pressure hose. You can eliminate dirt inside your residence by wiping your vents clean.
● Periodically replace your air filter. Your air filter keeps your air fresh and your heat pump running efficiently for longer. Make sure to replace it every few months.
