How Often Should I Service My Heat Pump?
If you want to prevent having to undergo a severe heat pump repair, it’s best to schedule routine heat pump maintenance as you would with any other appliance. You may be able to monitor and treat some common issues like the pump freezing in the winter or running constantly in the summer, but real preventative work and heat pump repair require the work of a professional. It’s recommended that you make time with an HVAC technician to run maintenance on your heat pump at least once a year. If you use your heat pump constantly in place of an external system, it’s best to make appointments twice a year to make sure it’s running efficiently. And you definitely want it to run efficiently.
According to energy.gov, the difference between the energy consumed by a maintained heat pump versus a neglected one ranges between 10-25%. If you don’t regularly service your heat pump, your energy bill will reflect it.

The Lifespan of a Heat Pump
he lifespan of your heat pump depends on several factors. There’s how well you maintain it, for one, and how quick you are to make a heat pump repair when a problem rears its ugly head. But there’s also the type of pump you get and the climate where you install it. Taking the average of all of these dependents into consideration, the lifespan of a heat pump is estimated to be 15 years on average. There are things you can do to extend its life beyond that. You can clean the coils consistently and replace the air filters when needed. The defrost cycle should be functioning properly to make sure the pump can make heat, especially during the winter, so keep an eye on it to make sure nothing’s frozen over. If there’s ice built up on the exterior, you’re going to need professional help. Though DIY videos online may make do-it-yourself home maintenance tempting, to uphold the lifespan of your heat pump, you should always call a professional to make repairs. Improper work will likely only mean a bigger fix to undo the damage done in the long run.
