Yes, it’s mid January but it’s never too early to start thinking about getting the heat pump ready for the heat.
When you live in this region, the heat and humidity is never far from one’s mind.
That’s because there is demand for air conditioning 8 months out of the year. Of course, it’s wonderful to be able to enjoy the winter months and all this awesome weather. The heat pump stays mostly quiet all winter. There are a few instances where the heat pump will kick on to provide a bit of heating. But that’s not all that often. Our winters are super mild and incredibly beautiful. For sure, it’s my favorite time of the year no doubt. Still, it will only be a couple of months before the temperatures begin to rise and air conditioning will be back in play. I like to stay on top of the HVAC maintenance. There are good reasons for this approach. Consistent, seasonal HVAC maintenance is essential to residential HVAC performance as well as HVAC equipment longevity. I like to have the HVAC maintenance done in late October as just sort of a wind down from all the service the heat pump did in the summer. And last week, I called to make an appointment for the air conditioning tune up to take place in the coming weeks. A well maintained heat pump is much more efficient and prepared for the big work load that comes with heat and humidity season. The HVAC technician will do his thing in the coming weeks and I will be prepared when it’s time to flip the thermostat over to cooling.
