Your Heat Pump Needs More Maintenance

January 17th, 2022

We’re not telling you to call us a second time for maintenance this season. If you’ve already invested in wintertime heat pump maintenance then you’re in good shape! What we’re talking about is the fact that your heat pumps require more maintenance than other HVAC systems.

In this blog post, we’re going to talk about what can happen if you decide to only maintain your heat pump half as much as it should be maintained. Let this be a PSA to get your heat pump maintained twice a year. Without enough maintenance, you might end up calling us for heating repair in Beverly Hills, CA.
