Here, we discuss some of the important steps to take for your heat pump maintenance before winter.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check the Air Filter<\/strong> \u2013 Keeping the air filter clean on any system is vital to its long-standing health, and a simple step to take. Part of your maintenance routine when preparing your heat pump for winter should include replacing your filter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clear the Area<\/strong> \u2013 After a long summer and fall, your unit may have some built up debris surrounding it that will need to be cleared. Take care to remove grass, plants, and leaves that would otherwise block the air flow into the system and create dirt buildup from the coils. Additionally, twigs, branches and other debris can get caught in the fan or condenser, causing breakdown.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn Your System on While the Weather is Still Warm<\/strong> \u2013 After your heat pump has had a break over the fall, and before you put it back to work full time in the winter, make sure to turn it on to make sure it is working correctly. Ensure that your system is heating properly and pay close attention for any sounds or smells that might signify a problem.<\/li>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/prepare-heat-pump-for-winter-2-300x227.jpg\" alt=\"Prepare Your Heat Pump for Winter with HVAC Maintenance\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4314\" \/><\/p>\n<li><strong>Watch Out for Warning Signs<\/strong> \u2013 With winter on the horizon, watch out for signs of malfunction. If you notice anything that seems awry, contact a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/services.html\">HVAC<\/a> company to solve the problem right away. One of the signs pointing to trouble is if your heat pump is blowing cold air instead of hot air. Another sign that you may have a problem is the smell of something reminiscent of a dirty sock, as that can signify bacteria growth on the indoor coils of your heat pump. Winter is on our doorstep, so be sure to take care of any potential issues before you require the system full time!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Galmiche_Sons_for_Your_Heat_Pump_Winter_Maintenance_Needs\"><\/span>Contact Galmiche &amp; Sons for Your Heat Pump Winter Maintenance Needs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To schedule your winter heat pump maintenance check and to prepare your heat pump for winter properly, connect with us today!
