How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If you use your heat pump for heating and cooling, you should service it twice annually, in the fall and the spring.

What is the life span of a heat pump?

The average life span of a heat pump is 10-15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round to heat and cool your home, they don’t always last as long as a typical heating or cooling system. However, you can extend the life span by ensuring that your unit is routinely maintained by an HVAC professional.

How To Clean Air Conditioner Components Properly

Just like any mechanical system, an air conditioner works better when it has been properly cleaned and maintained. If you do not know how to clean air conditioner parts, you can give Robert B. Payne a call. We are experts at cleaning and maintaining AC units.

Use Less Energy with a Clean Air Conditioner

To get professional results, there are other requirements besides knowing how to clean air conditioner components. The right tools and experience will also play important roles for people looking for an efficient end product. The basics of how we clean an indoor AC unit include:

Turning off the power – Since working with live electricity is very dangerous, we turn off the power before beginning to clean.

Replacing the filter – This is a relatively simple way to experience some improvement in performance.

Opening the unit – We vacuum out dust and debris in the blower compartment.

Checking for and killing any algae – Fungal or algae spores can lead to serious illness.

Cleaning out the drain tube – Removing built-up debris significantly helps performance.

We provide air conditioning cleaning for outdoor units as well.
