As summer approaches, it’s crucial to ensure that your home’s cooling system is ready to handle the sweltering heat. At DB Heating & Cooling, we specialize in keeping your heat pump in top condition so you can enjoy a comfortable and energy-efficient home. While many homeowners focus on air conditioners, it’s important to remember that heat pumps require maintenance twice a year—once in the fall and again in the spring. If you had your heat pump maintained last fall, now is the perfect time to schedule a summer heat pump tune-up in Bergen County, NJ.
The short answer to the question of whether your heat pump needs fall and spring maintenance is, “yes.”
Well, it’s that time again. Time for your spring heat pump preventive maintenance appointment! Now, if you’ve had your heat pump tuned-up sometime in the last 6-8 months, you might be wondering why we’re saying such a thing after less than a year. The answer is simple: heat pumps need more maintenance than air conditioners or heaters. Avoiding bi-annual maintenance is a great way to make your heat pump less efficient and more prone to issues. Don’t believe us? Read on to find out why this is. 
You’ve probably been using your heat pump in heating mode for several weeks now, since the weather has started to cool off. Before we get too far into the heating season, though, it’s important that you make sure that your heat pump is ready for the added demand. There are a number of ways that you can go about preparing your heat pump for the winter season, but none is as effective as scheduling preventive maintenance. This is a good thing to do, even if you have already scheduled preventive maintenance earlier in the year.
