The Problem: Heat Pumps Work Year-Round—So They Wear Out Faster
Your heat pump does double duty—heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. That’s why, without regular maintenance, they’re more prone to efficiency loss, breakdowns, and costly repairs.
Many homeowners don’t realize there’s a problem until it’s too late—and too cold or too hot to ignore.
At Falco’s, our job isn’t to sell you parts. It’s to extend the life of your system and protect your comfort.
The Promise: Proactive Care That Pays Off
We believe in preventative maintenance that’s based on facts, not fear—and inspections that help you make smart, timely decisions. Whether your heat pump is ducted or ductless, Mitsubishi or Bosch, new or 10+ years old, we’ll help you:
- Avoid breakdowns
- Reduce energy bills
- Improve system performance
- Protect your manufacturer warranty
- Protect your manufacturer warranty
Our Heat Pump Maintenance & Inspection Process
Step 1: Arrival & Pre-Service Consultation
- Technician arrives on time and in uniform
- Listens to concerns (noises, airflow issues, odd behavior)
- Reviews system age, past service, and access areas
- Determines indoor and outdoor unit types & zoning
[Extra Note]
Step 2: Comprehensive Diagnostic Inspection
We conduct a 22+ point evaluation that includes these outdoor unit checks:
- Compressor amp draw & start performance
- Refrigerant pressure testing
- Coil cleanliness & fan motor function
- Electrical connections and surge protection
- Drainage and debris clearance
These indoor unit checks:
- Blower motor & filter evaluation
- Coil cleanliness
- Communication & control signals
- Thermostat functionality
- Zoning performance (for ductless/multi-zone)
And these performance tests:
- Supply/return temperature delta
- Refrigerant charge accuracy
- Cycle timing and efficiency evaluation
- Backup/emergency heat function test (if applicable)
Every key metric is logged and reviewed—so we can show you how your system is performing.
Step 3: Preventative Services
We perform key maintenance tasks based on your system type and needs:
- Clean coils and fan blades
- Flush or clear drain lines
- Tighten electrical connections
- Clean or change filters (with Legacy Membership or customer request)
- Lubricate applicable moving parts
- Rinse outdoor coil (with your permission)
We will never clean components with chemicals or pressure washers unless manufacturer guidelines call for it. We preserve the integrity of your equipment.
Step 4: Honest Reporting & Recommendations
We tell it like it is—with context and clarity.
- If everything looks great, we tell you
- If something is wearing out, we help you plan for it
- If a component is at risk of failure, we explain the why—with data and pictures
- We never recommend a replacement unless it truly prevents a future problem or breakdown
Transparency is our service model. Trust is our goal.
Why Heat Pump Maintenance is Different from Traditional HVAC
Unlike separate furnace and A/C systems, heat pumps work all year long, which means:
- More wear and tear on parts like compressors and reversing valves
- Higher refrigerant system sensitivity
- Increased importance of keeping coils and sensors clean
- Frequent run cycles in shoulder seasons
Preventative maintenance isn’t just helpful—it’s critical to protect your investment.
