Yes, heat pumps require regular maintenance. Systems that are properly maintained by Honest Abe are reported to consume 10% to 25% less energy than those that are not. Having preventative maintenance done on your heat pump will ensure that it is working properly and prevent future problems. It will also help extend the lifespan of your heat pump.

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If your heat pump is the only source of heating and cooling for your house, then it is recommended to get it serviced twice a year. To schedule annual preventative heat pump maintenance, call the pros at Honest Abe today!
