Can I service my heat pump myself safely and effectively?
You can safely handle basic heat pump upkeep, but full servicing and repairs should be done by a trained technician. Do simple checks, then call if performance issues persist.
Quick checks you can do:
- Replace 1-inch filters on schedule.
- Clear leaves and debris around the outdoor unit (2–3 feet).
- Verify thermostat mode and settings.
- Shut power off before gently rinsing the outdoor coil.
- If you see ice, tripped breakers, or odd noises, stop and call a pro.
