Tips For Optimizing Heat Pump Performance
Keeping your system efficient year-round requires attention to several key areas. Our Charleston experts recommend:
- Regular Filter Changes: Replace or clean filters every 1–3 months depending on usage.

- Check Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant can cause poor heating/cooling and higher bills.
- Inspect Electrical Connections: Tight and clean connections reduce risk of failures.
- Clear Airflow: Keep vents and ducts free of obstructions.
- Schedule Annual Professional Maintenance: Catch minor issues before they become costly repairs.
Following these practices helps prevent emergency breakdowns and keeps systems running efficiently.
