Heat Pump Maintenance
Heat Pump Maintenance for Systems That Run All Year
Your heat pump cools all summer and heats all winter, so it gets twice the run time of a standalone AC or furnace. Twice-yearly maintenance keeps up with that workload.
We service ducted and ductless heat pumps across Cape May County, with extra attention to the salt and sand that build up on coastal outdoor units.

Spring and fall, each with a purpose
In spring we focus on cooling: cleaning the outdoor coil, checking refrigerant charge, testing the capacitor and contactor, and clearing the condensate drain. In fall we focus on heating: defrost controls, reversing valve, outdoor sensors, and backup heat strips.
Both visits include an airflow check, blower inspection, electrical tests, and thermostat review, so small problems get caught twice a year instead of once.
What each visit includes
- Step 1
Clean coils
Outdoor coil rinsed and cleaned of salt, pollen, and debris.
- Step 2
Test refrigerant
Pressures and temperatures checked against specs.
- Step 3
Check controls
Defrost, reversing valve, backup heat, and thermostat tested.
- Step 4
Inspect and report
Electrical, blower, and drain checked; findings shared with you.
Why heat pump maintenance pays off
Efficient heating
Keeps the heat pump doing the work instead of costly backup heat.
Corrosion control
Regular coil cleaning slows salt damage on coastal units.
Fewer surprises
Weak capacitors and failing sensors replaced before a breakdown.
Longer service life
Less strain on the compressor in both seasons.
Systems we maintain
- Ducted heat pumps
- Ductless mini-splits
- Dual-fuel systems

Heat Pump Maintenance questions
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Twice a year, in spring and fall, since it runs in both seasons.
What can I do between visits?
Keep the outdoor unit clear of snow, leaves, and plants, rinse the coil with fresh water after salt spray, and check the filter monthly.
Is heat pump maintenance different from AC maintenance?
Yes. In addition to the cooling checks, heat pumps need their reversing valve, defrost controls, and backup heat tested.
Do you maintain mini-split heat pumps too?
Yes. For mini-splits we also offer a deep cleaning service for the indoor heads.
