Do Heat Pumps Need Annual Maintenance?

Yes, absolutely! Annual, professional maintenance is crucial for heat pumps. Unlike separate heating and cooling systems, heat pumps work year-round, handling both heating in colder months and cooling in warmer ones. This continuous operation means they experience more wear and tear than traditional systems. Skipping annual tune-ups can lead to:

Decreased Efficiency: Your heat pump will work harder and consume more energy to maintain comfort, driving up your utility bills.
Increased Breakdowns: Minor issues left unaddressed can escalate into major system failures, often at the most inconvenient times.
Shortened Lifespan: Neglecting maintenance can significantly reduce your heat pump’s lifespan, forcing premature and costly replacement.
Voided Warranties: Many manufacturer warranties require proof of annual professional maintenance to remain valid.

Think of it like an oil change for your car – it’s vital for performance and longevity. For dependable, efficient comfort throughout the St. Louis seasons, schedule your heat pump’s annual maintenance with Meyer Heating and Air.
