Maintenance

Like any appliance, a heat-pump needs to be maintained each year. This includes 

• Inspect ducts, filters, blower, and indoor coil for dirt and other obstructions.
•  
• Diagnose and seal duct leakage
•  
• Verify adequate airflow by measurement
•  
• Verify correct refrigerant charge by measurement
•  
• Check for refrigerant leaks
•  
• Inspect electric terminals, and if necessary, clean and tighten connections and apply nonconductive coating
•  
• Lubricate motors and inspect belts for tightness and wear
•  
• Verify correct electric control, making sure that heating is locked out when the thermostat calls for cooling and vice-versa
•  
• Verify correct thermostat operation
