Heat Pumps 101

In recent years, heat pumps have become a popular choice for keeping New York homes warm during the colder months. Their innovative technology and impressive 60% higher efficiency rate than other, more traditional heating systems make them an attractive option for budget-conscious and environmentally-friendly homeowners. With proper maintenance, you will enjoy decreased energy bills and several years of reliable indoor temperatures, providing a sense of financial security.

How do heat pumps work? In a nutshell, they move warm air from outside to the inside of your home. Yes, this even works during the winter months! The system's refrigerant absorbs heat that is directed into your house as it flows along. Because they don't generate warmth like a gas furnace, you save money in the long run while still enjoying a cozy environment. 

Other perks include:

• Space-saving equipment that provides a quieter heating experience
• Improved indoor air quality
• Clean, sustainable performance

Routine Maintenance

Routine maintenance is the key to getting the most out of your heat pump. Make sure yours is winter-ready by scheduling a heating tune-up with Reliable Heating & Cooling. Our detailed inspection will ensure that everything is working properly and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

You will benefit from these standard procedures during our heating tune-up service:

• Performing a complete checkup of the unit 
• Inspecting all moving parts 
• Replacing the air filter
• Checking for fluid leaks and other minor problems
• Testing all safety controls 
• Cleaning and tightening loose connections

Regardless of your system's model, brand, or age, periodic tune-ups are essential to keep it working like new. When you invest in routine maintenance, you save money on unexpected costly repairs, decrease your energy bills, and prolong the life of your heat pump. You also gain the peace of mind that comes with knowing your system will be ready to go when you and your family need it the most. 

Protect Your Unit

Do you want a pro tip for protecting your heat pump and getting the best performance out of your system? Keep debris such as grass, leaves, sticks, and snow at least two feet from your outdoor unit. This step will ensure adequate airflow and prevent unnecessary clogs that lead to the need for professional repairs.

Change the air filter every couple of months or sooner if you notice that your unit is struggling to keep up with the demand for heat. Again, proper airflow is crucial to maintaining peak performance from your heat pump. Regular air filter replacement is an inexpensive and effective way to protect your unit.
