Heat Pump Service FAQs
Keeping your home comfortable in Alabama’s unpredictable climate is no small task, but your heat pump is up to the challenge with the right care. Below are some of the most common questions we hear from homeowners about servicing their heat pumps, so you can feel confident and prepared.
To keep your heat pump operating efficiently all year long, we recommend having it serviced twice a year, once before cooling season and once before heating season. Since your system handles both functions, it experiences more wear than a traditional furnace or AC.
Routine servicing helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends your system’s lifespan, and keeps your utility bills in check. It’s a small investment that goes a long way in keeping your comfort consistent and your budget stable.
A heat pump doesn’t generate heat, it moves it. In the winter, it pulls warmth from the outside air (yes, even chilly air has heat in it!) and transfers it indoors to warm your home. In the summer, it works in reverse, extracting heat from inside your house and sending it outside to keep things cool.
This clever process is powered by electricity and uses a refrigerant cycle, much like an air conditioner. The result? Energy-efficient comfort year-round, all from one unit. It’s one of the most efficient ways to heat and cool your home, especially in places like Alabama with milder winters and toasty summers.
While basic maintenance like changing your air filter and keeping the area around your unit clear is always encouraged, heat pump servicing is best left to certified professionals. These systems are complex and require the right tools, training, and diagnostic skills to catch and correct subtle issues before they escalate.
Our technicians perform comprehensive system checks, including cleaning coils, testing electrical components, checking refrigerant levels, and more, which means nothing gets overlooked.
During a service appointment, we perform a full-system evaluation to ensure your heat pump is running safely and efficiently. Our process includes inspecting electrical connections, calibrating thermostats, lubricating moving parts, cleaning indoor and outdoor coils, and checking refrigerant levels.
We also assess your airflow, test heating and cooling cycles, and look for any signs of wear or impending failure. You’ll receive a clear breakdown of what we found, any recommendations we have, and what to expect next.
Emergency repairs are available, and we prioritize calls from existing customers and Legacy Club members.
If your system goes down in the middle of a heatwave or a cold snap, we’re just a phone call away and ready to help.
