Unlike a furnace or AC, however, a heat pump runs throughout the year, heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That&#8217;s why many experts recommend twice-annual maintenance for a heat pump, once before winter and once before summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The ideal schedule for these is fall and spring, so your system is in top condition before the most extreme temperatures. You may also schedule maintenance if you&#8217;ve had issues with efficiency or performance recently and want to get maintenance while investigating developing issues or if it&#8217;s been a while since the last maintenance visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><style>\n        @media only screen and (max-width: 767px){\n            .cta_banner{  \n                background-image: url(https:\/\/fhfurrblogs.jdmps.com\/richmond-va-area\/wp-content\/themes\/bc-fh-furr\/img\/m-in-content-CTA.jpg);\n                background-size: cover;\n                background-repeat: no-repeat;\n                background-position: center center !important;\n            }\n        }\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px){\n            .cta_banner{  \n                background-image: url(https:\/\/fhfurrblogs.jdmps.com\/richmond-va-area\/wp-content\/themes\/bc-fh-furr\/img\/sidebar-cta@2x.jpg);\n                background-size: cover;\n                background-repeat: no-repeat;\n                background-position: center center !important;\n            }\n        }\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 1025px){\n            .cta_banner{  \n                background-image: url(https:\/\/fhfurrblogs.jdmps.com\/richmond-va-area\/wp-content\/themes\/bc-fh-furr\/img\/sidebar-cta.jpg);\n                background-size: cover;\n                background-repeat: no-repeat;\n                background-position: center center !important;\n            }\n        }\n    <\/style><div class=\"cta_box cta_banner py-4 py-lg-3 border_radius_10 mb-4 border-radius_10\">\n         <div class=\"px-md-3 py-lg-3 my-lg-1 py-1 my-1 row justify-content-between text-area align-items-center m-0 w-100\">\n            <div class=\"col-xl-9 col-md-9 col-lg-8 text-center ml-auto pl-lg-0 pl-5 mt-1\">\n              <div class=\"pl-md-0 pl-4\">\n              <a href=\"#\" onclick=\"_scheduler.show();\">\n              <span class=\"mb-lg-1 mb-0 d-block bc_text_40 bc_line_height_40 bc_text_bold bc_font_default bc_sm_text_25 bc_sm_line_height_25\">Book Online Now-<\/span>\n              <\/a>\n              <a href=\"tel:(555) 555-5555\" name=\"sheduleservices\" class=\"d-block text-decoration-none\">\n              <span class=\"bc_text_normal bc_font_default\" > \n                      (555) 555-5555\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/a>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Benefits of Heat Pump Maintenance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Regular heat pump maintenance, like any HVAC maintenance, is about minimizing the effect of wear and tear and identifying problems before they become serious.
