Now that colder weather is upon us, you have a ton of things to do. Preparing your home for winter is important in order to keep you and your family comfortable and safe. Making sure that your heat pump receives proper maintenance for winter is one of the most important steps of the winterizing process. You depend on your heat pump for providing comfortable temperatures in both summer and winter – it does a ton of work. This can mean that parts of your heat pump may wear out faster than other, more seasonal, equipment. Here are some quick tips for performing preventative maintenance on your heat pump.
Indoor Unit
