How Much Maintenance Does a Heat Pump Need?

Air source heat pumps are known for reliability and low maintenance. With fewer moving parts than combustion boilers and no fuel burning, there is less wear and tear.

ASHP maintenance

An annual service is recommended to:

• Check refrigerant levels

• Inspect filters and coils

• Verify electrical components

• Ensure optimal performance

Routine servicing helps maintain efficiency, protect warranties, and extend system lifespan. Many homeowners choose service plans for convenience and peace of mind.
