When creating a comfortable and efficient home, it’s hard to beat a heat pump or ductless mini split system. However, preventative maintenance is essential for performance, and skipping it can lead to higher electricity costs, more frequent HVAC repair calls, and reduced comfort. With tune-ups from Kearney and some DIY cleaning, you can protect your investment and help your system last for seasons to come.
How Often Does a Heat Pump Need Maintenance?
Most heat pumps and mini split systems should be professionally serviced at least once per year to operate at peak performance. Scheduling maintenance before the start of the heating or cooling season gives technicians a chance to catch small issues early and helps ensure your system is ready when you need it most.
How Often to Clean Heat Pump & Mini Split Filters
Staying on top of air filter care improves efficiency, supports better indoor air quality, and helps your heat pump run smoothly between professional tune-ups. Both ducted and ductless systems rely on clean air filters to move air efficiently and keep your home comfortable. In most local homes, filters should be checked monthly during peak heating and cooling seasons and cleaned or replaced regularly to prevent airflow issues.
What’s Included in a Professional Heat Pump Tune-Up?
During a heat pump performance tune-up, Kearney’s NATE-certified technicians follow a detailed checklist to ensure that your system is working as it should be and seamlessly switches between heating and cooling modes.
