Comprehensive Heat Pump Maintenance in Central New Jersey

Name: Air Professionals Heating & Air Conditioning
Price range: $$$

Delivering top-tier preventative heat pump services throughout Central New Jersey

Heat pumps have been designed to deliver efficient comfort to homeowners for many years. However, regular, seasonal heat pump maintenance is the key to ensuring that your system maintains this efficiency throughout the year.

The typical lifespan of a heat pump is 10 to 15 years, but the absence of appropriate maintenance could potentially lead to issues with your heating and cooling system earlier than anticipated.

Given that your heat pump is in use year-round, it's prone to minor issues. When an Air Professionals technician conducts a thorough inspection of your system, they can identify and rectify these potential problems at an early stage.

Expert Heat Pump Maintenance Services

Given that they perform dual functions, heat pumps, unlike furnaces and air conditioners, which need servicing once annually, require maintenance twice a year.

When is the best time for homeowners to arrange for heat pump maintenance? Ideally, maintenance should be carried out once before the onset of the heating season and once before the cooling season. Spring and fall are the optimal times to arrange for professional heat pump maintenance due to their moderate weather conditions. In spring, a professional can assess your system's condition post-winter before using it for cooling. In the fall, they can tend to your heat pump maintenance needs before any cold weather hits.

Take comfort in knowing proper maintenance promotes maximum efficiency and safeguards against expensive future breakdowns. Establishing a seasonal maintenance plan with a trusted HVAC expert is one of the most effective strategies to guarantee your comfort throughout the year.

What Occurs During a Heat Pump Maintenance Visit

During your heat pump service appointment, our skilled technicians conduct a series of inspections to guarantee your unit is prepared to handle the needs of the upcoming season. After all, components have been examined and confirmed to be in order, the technician will provide you with a detailed report summarizing their observations and any necessary suggestions.

Our Detailed Heat Pump Maintenance Checklist Includes:

Checking and Tightening Electrical Connections: We prioritize your heat pump system’s safety and durability by diligently inspecting and tightening all electrical connections, leaving no loose ends for an efficient cooling experience.
Examining Condenser Run Capacitors: We ensure your heat pump's energy efficiency by conducting comprehensive tests on the condenser run capacitors, facilitating smooth operation even during the peak of summer.
Cleaning and Testing Compressor Contacts: We meticulously clean and test your compressor contacts, promoting optimal performance from your heat pump system and effective cooling of your home.
Cleaning Condenser Coil: Our seasoned technicians enhance your heat pump's energy efficiency and cooling abilities by thoroughly cleaning your condenser coils.
Inspecting and Replacing Air Filters: Breath easier with our extensive air filter inspection and replacement services that promise cleaner, healthier air circulation in your home.
Shutting Down Humidifier and Closing Bypass: As the warmer weather sets in, we competently shut down your humidifier and close the bypass for optimal heat pump operation.
Cleaning and Testing the Condensate Drain System: Depend on us to avert water damage and leaks. We clean and test your heat pump's condensate drain system for smooth, efficient functioning.
Examining Blower Cleanliness: We maintain the cleanliness of your indoor air by thoroughly inspecting your system's blower for dust or debris, ensuring better air circulation.
Testing the Blower Capacitor: We meticulously test the blower capacitor to ensure your heat pump's blower operates at its best, providing reliable, efficient airflow.
Checking Air Flow and Total Static Pressure: We examine your system's airflow and total static pressure to guarantee optimal cooling comfort in your home.
Testing Temperature Split at Coil: We conduct precise temperature split tests at the coil to ensure balanced, comfortable cooling across your home.
Checking and Updating Thermostat Software: Keep abreast of the latest home comfort technology as we check and update your thermostat's software, enhancing your heat pump system’s functionality.
Resetting All Thermostat Maintenance Reminders: Trust us to manage your heat pump system's maintenance schedule. We reset all thermostat maintenance reminders for a seamless cooling experience with no fuss.

The Advantages of Regular Heat Pump Maintenance

The importance of routine HVAC equipment upkeep must be balanced. Regular servicing is a requirement for warranty coverage by all leading brands, and the longevity of your HVAC system relies on it.

Our technicians specializing in heat pump maintenance provide comprehensive inspections, performance assessments, and thorough system cleaning. We offer a premier tune-up service resulting in an efficient heat pump that caters to all your cooling and heating demands.

Availing professional HVAC maintenance for your heating and cooling system presents numerous benefits:

Improved Comfort: A heat pump system not performing at the manufacturer's specifications can lead to inconsistent comfort across rooms. Regular maintenance ensures a comfortable environment in every season.
Extended Lifespan of Equipment: Well-maintained heat pumps operate less than neglected units. Clogged filters, dirty coils, and motors can overwork the system to reach the desired temperature, consequently reducing the equipment's service life.
Decreased Utility Bills: HVAC systems in optimal condition operate at peak performance, efficiently cooling and heating your home.
Reduced Repair Expenses: Our technicians, during maintenance visits, can promptly spot any worn-out parts before they cause a system failure. Addressing these issues in the offseason is not only less costly but also less disruptive.

What is the recommended frequency for servicing a heat pump?

It is advisable to arrange for a heat pump maintenance service with a professional in the HVAC field at least annually.

In cases where your heat pump serves as your main heating and cooling system, as opposed to being a secondary or backup system, you may want to consider scheduling maintenance services biannually — ideally during the transition periods of fall and spring.

Just had A/C repaired by Antonio C. Who did an excellent job, worked quickly and efficiently, was very knowledgeable and professional, and got the system working.

Greg came out after regular hours Friday to diagnose and then repair our AC compressor. Luckily it was a simple repair and the part was on the truck. He has a pleasant demeanor and worked efficiently and quickly to get us up and running again. We always have a good experience with Air Profesionals and have been a customer of theirs for years. Highly recommend.

Being a first time home owner can be stressful, and finding a trusted professional to service my HVAC was tedious. I came across Air Professionals through a referral, I’m glad to say that all of my needs were handled within one phone call. They sent out 2 very skilled technicians within 24 hours to complete the maintenance service. I am quite impressed at how quickly the service was completed. I’ll always have Air Professionals on speed dial!

Fern DiMeglio

My first experience with Air Professionals began with Nick, whom scheduled the service visit and numerous calls. Eric was the first service person to diagnose the problem. Corinne then emailed me with updates. Greg was here today to install the new parts. The entire experience; from start to finish, was a pleasant experience with competence all of the time. Thanks so much

Jack N

Outstanding excellent annual service from Greg. Patiently answered all my questions and explained all he did

Finola Lynch

Very pleased with the care that was taken in A/C maintenance...thank you Air Professionals.

Sue Chirichello

Came right away even though I was a new customer during a heat wave . Service was excellent and professional.

Ron Tonge

I am in complete agreement with the other people who have posted 5 star reviews of Air Professionals. I could not be more pleased with the support and service from this company. Going into a seasonal service call, I knew that one of the compressors was not cooling properly. The seasonal service call tech confirmed that there was an issue. Air Professionals proactively reached out to me schedule a more detailed review by a senior tech. That tech confirmed my thoughts that while it might have been possible to get the 16 year old system to limp along another year, it would not be advisable for many reasons. I contacted Tiffany in the office and ask her to schedule a call with a sales project manager to discuss a new AC system. Knowing that we had upcoming house guests, she was able to schedule that call for the same day, a Friday. Sean professionally explained my options and, once I decided, he was able to get an installation scheduled for the following Monday.In an age where we all see less than stellar customer service, it is rare to see a business like Air Professionals where great customer service seems to permeate the entire business. Every single person with whom we interacted was friendly and professional in dealing with us. The responsiveness was tremendous. The explanations as to what was needed (including requesting that I trim back a couple of bushes to improve access) was thorough and complete. The workmanship was first class. The follow-up was outstanding. We highly recommend Air Professionals.

Davis came and serviced my two Carrier HVAC units today. He was here when he said he would be, serviced both units, and went over the results with me. In my opinion, he did a great job. He found a part that was operating, but not operating correctly. He ordered a new part, under warrantee, it will be installed next week. He was here for about 2 hours checking the units out. Nice, polite, professional guy. He is a credit to Air Professionals.10/18/2019 Drew came and serviced my two Carrier units, and as usual, he was as courteous and professional as they come. The units checked out ok, he did fix and issue I was having and all is well. Air Professionals are what the name implies. Professional. Thanks for a great job, again.10/16/2020 Kemp serviced my units and did an excellent job as usual.Our units check out ok and I believe that is because I have them looked at twice a year by Air Professionals. I've never had an issue with them or their technicians.6/17/2024 Nick did the maintenance on our two systems. Did a excellent job. Very nice and pleasant professional. Was here on time, did his job and an hour later he was done.

Terry Nusser

Use Air Professionals for heating and a/c. Very good service and knowledge of my equipment. This time the tech determined my humidifier had been turned off and not working. Good find.

Gerald Griffin

Was in need of immediate assistance with my AC. The technician (Antonio) arrived early and got to work with determining the problem. Sadly the unit (28 years old) was not worth repairing as the compressor was shot. An sales engineer was called and arrived within minutes of request. He did an evaluation of my needs and priced out a new unit within an hour. A new system will be installed shortly.Please note that this all occurred on one of the hottest days of the year. The prompt, professional service was a breath of fresh air as compared to the runarounds I received from any of their competitors.If you are looking for old school service and quick response times to your needs, call Air Professionals.Update; August 9, 2023Had a nasty odor (fishy) coming from the vents of my newly installed AC/Heat Pump unit. Called with my concerns and a tech visit was immediately scheduled. Helmi Feizi arrived to investigate the incident. The problem originally occurred when we shut the unit down so windows could be opened on a cool day. When the unit was turned back on, the smell happened. I thought it might be a condensation line clog. Helmi spent quite some time checking everything out and we couldn’t repeat the problem. Nothing was discovered that may have been the cause. But Air Professionals took my concern seriously and had a service ticket on their schedule promptly.I wonder just how many cumulative years exist if all of the years of service were added up of the people in the field. These people really know their stuff. Like I said before. It’s the people that make a company great. Air Professionals is great.Jerry Griffin

Greg, our service representative is always considerate and great to work with. He did a fine job, as he always does, in maintaining our ductless HVAC system.

Pamela Spain

I cannot say enough good things about this company. My AC broke this past Friday ~ Memorial Day Weekend! AIR sent Helmi within a few hours to look at the system to see if it could be fixed. It could not (it was over 20 years old) and within a few hours Sean came to discuss our options and designed a system that would be best for us. He was here for 3 hours going over all the details. He could not have been nicer and was patient and explained all. We got the paperwork done that night and as of this morning we are good to go to have the AC replaced in our home. As everyone knows, having your AC break at the start of the summer is not fun ~ but Sean was awesome and made the experience as good as it could be! I highly recommend Sean and this company!!
