Professional Heat Pump Maintenance Services
Whether your system is working hard through a hot summer or keeping your home warm in the winter, regular heat pump maintenance is the key to long-term performance. At Canyon Plumbing & Heating, we provide thorough, preventative heat pump service to protect your investment and promote efficient energy use all year long.
Our licensed HVAC technicians work on all major systems—including air source,and hybrid heat pumps—and are trained to spot minor issues before they become major problems.
Why Regular Heat Pump Maintenance Matters
Heat pumps operate differently than traditional furnaces or boilers. Since they handle both heating and air conditioning, they run almost year-round. That extra workload can lead to wear and tear, reduced performance, or poor indoor air quality if not addressed.
Routine maintenance improves your system’s:
- Comfort and temperature control, even in extreme climate conditions
- Humidity regulation and airflow consistency
- Longevity—helping you avoid premature replacement
- Energy savings by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and wasted electricity
For homes in areas with variable weather or high carbon footprints, well-maintained systems also help reduce reliance on fuel oil, natural gas, or inefficient district heating alternatives.
What Our Heat Pump Maintenance Includes
Our team performs an in-depth, multi-point inspection and cleaning that’s tailored to your system. Whether you have a heat pump HVAC system or a mini split heat pump, we’re equipped to keep it running smoothly.
During a maintenance visit, we:
- Inspect and replace your air filter as needed
- Remove dust, debris, and dirt buildup from outdoor and indoor coils
- Test refrigerant levels and inspect for leaks
- Clean the evaporator, condenser, and heat exchanger
- Check operation of the compressor, air handler, and reversing valve
- Evaluate thermostat function and recalibrate if necessary
- Lubricate key components to reduce friction and noise
Ensure drainage lines are clear to prevent mold or moisture buildup - Inspect for signs of corrosion, mold, or poor ventilation
Tips for Maximizing Efficiency Between Visits
While annual service is essential, here are a few ways homeowners can support their system between tune-ups:
- Keep vents, coils, and the outdoor unit clear of snow, weeds, or clutter
- Use a programmable thermostat to maintain consistent temperature settings
- Clean or change filters every 1–3 months
- Ensure airflow isn’t restricted by closed doors, blocked registers, or attic insulation
- Watch for sudden changes in pressure, noise, or heat output
If your system feels sluggish or your energy bills spike, it may be time to schedule a full inspection.

FAQ: Heat Pump Maintenance
How often should I schedule heat pump maintenance?
We recommend a full service once a year. Systems in heavy-use homes or areas with extreme climate shifts may benefit from twice-yearly inspections.
Is heat pump maintenance different from furnace or AC tune-ups?
Yes. Since heat pumps operate year-round, they require a more specialized service that evaluates both heating and cooling cycles—including the reversing valve, compressor, and coefficient of performance.
Can a dirty filter really cause problems?
Absolutely. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, decreases efficiency, and can cause unnecessary strain on the system—especially in underfloor heating or mini splits heating applications.
Will maintenance help with indoor air quality?
Yes. By cleaning coils, replacing filters, and checking for mold or pollutants, we help ensure better indoor air quality and a healthier home.
Can I get a tax credit for maintaining my system?
While tax credits usually apply to new energy star installations, some homeowners may qualify for energy rebates after a professional energy audit or efficiency upgrade. We can help you explore those options.
