Comprehensive Heat Pump Furnace Maintenance & Repair

Heat pumps are dual-purpose systems, providing both heating and cooling, which means they work year-round. Regular heat pump maintenance is crucial for ensuring efficiency, maximizing lifespan, and preventing unexpected breakdowns.

Our Full-Service Heat Pump Care Includes:

• Annual Tune-Ups: Our thorough heat pump furnace maintenance checklist includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, lubricating moving parts (blower motor), inspecting electrical terminals, and ensuring the thermostat is calibrated.
• System Diagnostics & Repair: We quickly diagnose and repair all major heat pump issues, including compressor failures, refrigerant leaks, fan motor problems, and electrical control malfunctions.
• Emergency Service: We offer fast, reliable repair service when your heat pump stops working, ensuring your home is never left without heating or cooling, regardless of the season.
• Troubleshooting: We address common issues like heat pump short cycling, freezing outdoor units, or insufficient heating/cooling performance.

Why Maintain Your Heat Pump? Proper maintenance (recommended annually) is necessary to keep your system performing efficiently, lower your utility bills, and ensure your manufacturer's warranty remains valid.

Specialists in Geothermal Heat Pump Installation

Ready to invest in the most energy-efficient HVAC technology available? Geothermal heat pumps use the stable temperature of the earth to provide superior, low-cost heating and cooling. As leading geothermal heat pump installers near me in the Wasatch Front, we manage the entire geothermal heat pump installation process.

Benefits of Geothermal HVAC:

• Ultimate Efficiency: Geothermal systems typically use 25% to 50% less electricity than conventional systems, resulting in significantly lower utility bills (Source: DOE).

Beyond the HVAC Unit: Heat Pump Plumbing Integration

A core difference between heat pumps and furnaces is the potential for heat pump plumbing integration, especially with modern systems and dual-fuel applications.

Plumbing Connections Related to Heat Pumps:

• Condensate Drains: Heat pumps, especially when cooling, generate condensation that must be properly drained via plumbing lines to prevent water damage and system shutdown.
• Water-Source Geothermal: For certain geothermal systems (open-loop), plumbing expertise is essential for handling the water exchange safely and effectively.
• Desuperheaters: We can install desuperheaters—devices that use the heat pump to heat your domestic water supply—requiring specialized heat pump plumbing skills for integration with your existing water heater.
