As a homeowner in Penobscot County, you want to get the most out of your HVAC investment. While professional cleaning is vital, there are several things you can do to keep your heat pump running smoothly between visits from Moran Heat Pump Cleaning.

1. Check Your Filters Monthly

In Maine, dust and pet hair can clog filters faster than you’d think. Check them every 30 days and clean or replace them as needed to maintain airflow.

2. Keep the Outdoor Unit Clear

After a Maine snowstorm, ensure your outdoor unit isn’t buried. Clear away snow, ice, and fallen leaves to ensure the unit can pull in the air it needs to function.

3. Don’t “Set and Forget” During Extremes

During extreme cold snaps, your heat pump works its hardest. Avoid making large temperature adjustments (more than 2-3 degrees) at once, as this can force the unit into expensive “emergency heat” mode.

By following these tips and scheduling your annual deep clean with Moran Heat Pump Cleaning, you’ll enjoy lower bills and a longer-lasting system.
