Maintaining a heat pump is essential for reliable comfort and energy efficiency, especially in Brookline’s unique climate. With humid summers and chilly winters, heat pumps work year-round to regulate indoor temperatures. Regular professional maintenance not only safeguards system performance but also extends equipment life, lowers energy costs, and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns in older homes throughout Brookline.
Every maintenance visit follows a structured, multi-point checklist designed for Brookline home environments. Key steps include:
Well-tuned heat pumps operate up to 25% more efficiently, reducing monthly utility bills—especially during Brookline’s muggy summers and brisk winters.
Proactive component inspections and lubricant applications can add two to four years to a system’s expected service life.
Most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to honor equipment warranties and avoid voiding coverage.
Clean coils, filters, and drainage systems reduce airborne particulates and humidity fluctuations, creating a healthier living environment.
Our tiered maintenance plans cater to different needs and budgets, with clear inclusions and flat-rate pricing:
Includes core diagnostics, coil and filter cleaning, refrigerant check, and safety inspection.
Bronze Plan plus thermostat calibration, airflow testing, and condensate treatment.
Silver Plan plus priority scheduling, parts discounts, and extended system performance report.
Each plan provides a pre-visit reminder, a detailed service report, and a “Maintenance Completed” checklist. Customers may choose biannual visits for homes with high cycle demands or annual visits for standard seasonal protection.
A certified technician arrives within a designated two-hour window and presents proper identification.
Drop-cloth protection for flooring, tool mats for equipment, and respectful communication throughout the service call.
A digital inspection sheet outlines each completed step, flagged recommendations, and before-and-after photos of critical components.
Review of findings, answers to homeowner questions, and a clear summary of any recommended repairs or upgrades.
