Residential Heat Pump System Maintenance Services in Blacklick, OH
Over enough time, residential heat pumps begin to deteriorate. Nevertheless, a homeowner can minimize wear and tear on a heat pump and prolong the heating and cooling unit’s lifespan by regularly having heat pump maintenance. Because heat pumps are used year-round, having preventative maintenance performed once a year is essential. Without it, the unit could end up consuming up to 25% more energy compared to a heat pump that’s properly cared for.
Our NATE-certified technicians at Blacklick Heating & Cooling have the training, HVAC tools, and know-how to inspect, clean, and give your heat pump the care it needs to make it last as long as possible.

What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is the smarter, cleaner way to heat, cool, dehumidify and purify the air in your home, and it’s an all-in-one replacement for your existing HVAC systems. It’s called a heat pump because it controls your home’s climate by redistributing the heat that’s already in the air. In the winter, it extracts heat from the outside environment and moves it inside your home. In the summer, the process is reversed: The heat pump takes heat from inside your home and moves it outside. The result? Your home feels great all year. It’s a pretty simple concept that adds up to comfortable and energy-efficient climate control.

Major components of a heat pump system:
- Outdoor unit with a coil that acts as a condenser in cooling mode and an evaporator in heating mode
- Indoor unit that contains a coil (just like the outdoor unit) and a fan to move the air through your home
- Refrigerant that absorbs and releases the heat as it circulates through the system
- Compressor that pressurizes the refrigerant
- Reversing valve that changes the direction of the refrigerant in the system, to enable the shift between heating and cooling
- Expansion valve that regulates the flow of refrigerant through the system
Benefits of Heat Pump Maintenance
The following are a few of the benefits of air conditioner maintenance, which indicates why all HVAC professionals stress the necessity of regular seasonal maintenance on residential air conditioning equipment:
Below are 4 Benefits of Regular Heat Pump Maintenance:
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Our seasonal maintenance service includes the cleaning and inspection of the system’s fan blades, motor, cooling coils, and other related equipment and essential components that have a direct effect on the unit’s level of efficiency and performance. With the coils and some of these other parts getting regular service, the system is able to provide cooler temperatures easier, which reduces overall energy consumption — even as the temperatures outside continue to rise.
Improved Comfort Levels
Your heat pump’s performance can influence your comfort and health. Without routine maintenance, it can put you and your family’s safety at high risk. Your unit can emit poisonous gas when it cracks. Fire hazards can also occur due to a short circuit. With regular maintenance, all these problems are addressed earlier, leaving you with a more comfortable and safer living environment.
Longer Lifespan
Wear and tear might occur as it works continuously in the long cold months. Leaving the issue unfixed can reduce your unit’s service life—and even put your comfort and safety in danger. Regular maintenance is designed to monitor and fix all your unit’s vital parts, preventing the possibility of expensive repairs and early replacement.
Keeping Warranty Active
If your equipment is still under warranty and you neglect to have your heat pump serviced for even a single year, that warranty becomes a worthless piece of paper. This is because the manufacturers of air conditioning equipment also recognize the importance of maintenance performed by an NATE-certified professional. They mandate it be performed every year in order to keep warranties valid. Otherwise, if something happens, if a part fails or becomes defective and the system wasn’t properly serviced, the homeowner is out of luck. Why risk it?
