Heat Pump Awareness: Annual Maintenance
Proactive care is essential for efficiency and avoiding costly off-season failures.
Your Pool Heat Pump is an Outdoor AC Unit
Modern pool heat pumps use the exact same technology as your home air conditioning system. Just like your AC, your heat pump is subject to constant exposure to salt air, humidity, and dirt.
The Florida Maintenance Cycle
We recommend treating your pool heat pump to the same **annual preventative maintenance schedule** you follow for your home AC.
What Annual Proactive Service Includes:
1. Condenser Coil Cleaning
The coil must be chemically cleaned to remove dirt, pollen, and corrosion. A dirty coil can drop efficiency by 15-20%.
2. Refrigerant Level & Pressure Check
We check pressures to catch slow leaks before they become catastrophic and stress the compressor.
3. Electrical & Water Flow Diagnostics
Testing flow switches and electrical connections protects against system damage.
