Heat Pump Maintenance
In Escondido & Oceanside, CA

For many homeowners in the San Diego area, a heat pump offers a convenient solution for both heating and cooling. The system is energy-efficient and reliable with proper routine maintenance, and, unlike a furnace, it does not require a municipal gas connection, relying on electricity alone. To keep your heat pump operating efficiently, regular care and maintenance are required at least twice a year.

At Thompson Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, our NATE-certified HVAC experts can provide complete maintenance services for your heat pump, as well as repairs and replacement services when necessary. We serve homeowners throughout San Diego and Southern California, providing quality plumbing, heating, and air conditioning.

Benefits of Routine Maintenance for Escondido & Oceanside Homeowners

Ideally, a heat pump should be professionally serviced and maintained twice a year, during the spring and the fall. Routine maintenance can provide several benefits, including:

  • Reduced energy usage – When the heat pump is cleaned, maintained, and properly lubricated, it can keep your home at your preferred temperature with less work, reducing your energy consumption.

  • Lower utility costs – As energy consumption is reduced, you will save money on your heating and cooling costs.

  • Fewer repairs – By replacing worn parts before they cause further damage to your heat pump, you can reduce your repair costs and enjoy a more reliable system.

  • Longer service life – A system that is well-maintained experiences less friction and wear, extending its lifespan.

  • Improved comfort – When your heat pump can perform as it is designed to, your home will be more comfortable, with even temperatures, improved humidity control, and better indoor air quality.
