(985) 632-6428A heat pump uses no refrigerant to generate hot or cool air. Instead, it extracts the heat from the outdoor air and distributes it to your house. It also removes the hot indoor air and makes the room cooler during the summer.
A heat pump is the most energy-efficient HVAC system that can serve you throughout the year, in every season. However, it needs maintenance to work perfectly. In addition, you have to maintain it more during winter because of snowy weather.
Best ways to maintain a heat pump.
- Clean with care
When something accumulates on your heat pump, never scratch it with any sharp object, especially the ice on the coils. It causes physical damage to your heat pump that may later require an expensive heat pump repair in Raceland, LA.
Always use efficient cleaning tools like a vacuum, water hose, brushes, etc., to clean the heat pump.
- Defrost the ice build-up
Ice build-up on HVAC is common during winter, but if your heat pump works inefficiently, check the outside unit. Too much build-up of ice can be the reason for the inefficiency. Instead, pour water into ice for a few hours to melt it.
- Build a shade
Build a suitable shade around your heat pump to protect it from debris and snow. Ensure that the shading does not restrict the airflow. There should be enough space between the heat pump and the shade you build.
