Heat Pump Experts
Extend Your Heat Pump’s Lifespan with Professional Maintenance in GTA
A well-maintained heat pump runs efficiently, lasts longer, and prevents costly repairs. Our expert technicians inspect coils, compressors, refrigerant levels, and electrical components to detect and fix issues before they become significant problems. We also perform filter changes, thermostat calibration, and airflow optimization to ensure reliable performance in all seasons across GTA.
Comprehensive Heat Pump Maintenance Services
Full System Inspection
We conduct a comprehensive diagnostic check, inspecting compressors, evaporator coils, reversing valves, capacitors, and sensors to detect early signs of failure and ensure optimal system performance.
Seasonal Tune-Ups & Inspections
Our seasonal maintenance ensures your heat pump is ready for extreme temperatures. We test refrigerant pressures, airflow rates, and heat exchanger efficiency to improve year-round reliability.
Filter Cleaning & Replacement
Clogged air filters restrict airflow, forcing your heat pump to work harder. We clean or replace high-efficiency pleated, HEPA, or electrostatic filters to improve air quality and system efficiency.
Checking & Recharging Refrigerant Levels
Low refrigerant causes poor heat exchange and frozen coils. We check pressures, detect leaks with electronic sniffers, and recharge with R-410A or R-32 for maximum efficiency and performance.
Thermostat Calibration & Optimization
A miscalibrated thermostat leads to short cycling and uneven temperatures. We test sensors, recalibrate control settings, and optimize smart thermostat configurations for precise temperature control.
Electrical System Inspection
We check contactors, capacitors, wiring, and circuit boards for voltage irregularities and loose connections. Preventing electrical failures protects your compressor and control systems from damage.
Blower Motor & Fan Maintenance
Blower motors and fan assemblies accumulate dust and wear over time. We lubricate bearings, test motor windings, inspect fan blades, and adjust belt tension to maintain strong and balanced airflow.
Coil & Condenser Cleaning
Dirt buildup on condenser and evaporator coils reduces efficiency. We remove debris, use coil-safe chemical cleaners, and restore fin integrity to enhance heat transfer and lower energy consumption.
Ductwork Inspection & Airflow Optimization
Leaky or clogged ducts reduce system efficiency. We check for blockages, seal duct leaks, and balance airflow distribution to improve comfort and heating performance throughout your home.
Defrost Cycle Check & Adjustment
A faulty defrost cycle can lead to ice buildup on outdoor coils and reduce heat absorption. We test defrost boards, sensors, and reversing valves to ensure seamless operation in cold GTA winters.
Heating Done Right
Warning Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Immediate Attention
Reduced Heating or Cooling Efficiency
If your heat pump struggles to maintain set temperatures, it may have low refrigerant levels, a dirty evaporator coil, a failing compressor, or clogged air filters. A professional diagnostic check is essential.
Unusual Noises
Loud grinding, buzzing, or rattling noises often indicate loose fan blades, worn motor bearings, failing capacitors, or compressor issues. Immediate servicing prevents major component failure.
Inconsistent Temperature Control
Uneven heating or cooling can result from thermostat calibration issues, airflow blockages, or malfunctioning reversing valves. We diagnose and adjust zoning controls and refrigerant charges for balanced comfort.
Increased Energy Bills
A sudden spike in electricity costs often signals dirty condenser coils, refrigerant leaks, inefficient heat exchange, or a faulty expansion valve. Regular maintenance restores system efficiency.
Frequent Short Cycling
If your heat pump turns on and off frequently, it could be due to an oversized system, faulty thermostat, overheating compressor, or clogged airflow. We pinpoint the issue and ensure proper cycling.
Ice Buildup on the Outdoor Unit
Excessive frost or ice on coils or refrigerant lines indicates defrost cycle failure, low refrigerant, or restricted airflow. We inspect sensors, reversing valves, and defrost boards to restore proper function.
Weak Airflow
If your heat pump isn’t pushing enough air, the issue may stem from a dirty blower wheel, a failing fan motor, or duct leaks. We inspect and adjust airflow rates to optimize heating and cooling performance.
Bad Odours
A musty smell signals mould in coils or drain lines, while a burning odour may indicate overheating electrical components or dust accumulation in the blower motor. Prompt cleaning and servicing eliminate risks.
