Heat pumps are a key part of many homes in Ontario. They provide both heating and cooling efficiently. At Airtek, we know that regular maintenance keeps your heat pump running longer and saves you money. Without proper care, performance can drop, and repairs can get expensive.

One real-life example comes from Sarah, a Toronto homeowner. She noticed higher energy bills in winter. Her heat pump ran longer to heat her home. After calling Airtek, our HVAC professionals discovered clogged filters and debris around the outdoor unit. With proper maintenance, her heat pump now runs efficiently, her bills are lower, and she has peace of mind knowing it will last for years.

Regular maintenance is essential. Check and replace air filters every 1 to 3 months. Dirty filters reduce airflow and make your heat pump work harder, which can increase energy costs and reduce lifespan. Clean the outdoor unit by removing leaves, dirt, and snow. Keep at least two feet of clearance around the unit for proper airflow.

Airtek recommends a professional HVAC check at least once a year. Our licensed technicians inspect refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and internal components. They can catch small issues before they become big problems. This keeps your heat pump efficient and reliable.

Monitor your heat pump’s performance. Listen for unusual noises or uneven heating or cooling. Using a programmable thermostat helps maintain consistent temperatures, reducing stress on the system.

Proper drainage is another key factor. Heat pumps remove moisture from your home, and blocked drainage can cause water damage or mold. Airtek technicians ensure your drainage lines are clear during inspections.

Seasonal checks make a difference. Prepare your system before winter for heating and before summer for cooling. This proactive approach ensures reliable performance year-round.

Investing in a quality heat pump is smart, but knowing the cost helps too. Here’s a table of popular Airtek-supported models and pricing:
