Now that autumn is here, it’s a great time to have an HVAC professional inspect and tune up your heat pump, so it will be ready to keep you comfortable throughout the chilly winter in Northbrook, IL. Here are three benefits of fall heat pump maintenance.
1. Improved System Performance
Unlike traditional heaters and furnaces, heat pumps do double duty, cooling your home in summer and warming it in winter. Even if your heat pump did a great job for you over the summer, fall maintenance is key to ensuring it can keep your home as warm as you need it in winter, when every part of the system must work at its best. During a routine maintenance visit, one of our service technicians will use a rigorous 26-point checklist to cover all of your heat pump’s components and ensure your system is ready for the chilly weather.
2. Fewer Repairs
By investing in regular maintenance, you’re preventing minor issues from turning into something major, which cuts down on the number of repairs that you need each year. Cutting down on your repairs keeps your system running better and allows you to keep more money in your pocket.
3. Improved Energy Efficiency
According to HomeGuide, the average monthly electric bill in the United States is $137, and the average for Illinois is $114. Even with a rate that’s lower than the U.S. average, it’s important to do everything possible to promote energy efficiency in your home.
When you have our technicians maintain your system, you’re investing in your heat pump’s energy efficiency. Maintenance involves checking every component and making adjustments to keep everything running optimally and efficiently all year round.
It’s not too late to schedule your fall heat pump tune-up for this year so you can start reaping these benefits. Contact the team at Atomatic Mechanical Services, Inc. today to find out more about our heat pump tune-ups and the rest of our HVAC services.
