Bi-Annual Service

Because a heat pump heats and cools, we recommend spring and fall visits — one to prep for cooling, one for heating — to keep it efficient all year.

Schedule Service →

Coil & Filter Cleaning

Dirty coils and clogged filters make your system work harder and use more energy. We clean both indoor and outdoor units to restore airflow and efficiency.

Refrigerant & Performance Check

We verify refrigerant levels, test the defrost cycle and reversing valve, and measure temperatures and airflow to confirm your system is performing right.

Why It Pays Off

The Payoff of Regular Maintenance

A small yearly investment in upkeep saves far more in energy, repairs, and replacement costs down the road.

Lower Energy Bills

Clean coils, correct refrigerant, and clear airflow let your heat pump run efficiently instead of overworking.

Fewer Breakdowns

Catching small issues during a tune-up prevents the surprise failures that strike in peak heat or cold.

Longer Lifespan

A well-maintained heat pump can reach the upper end of its 12–15 year life — delaying a costly replacement.

Protected Warranty

Most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep your warranty valid — we keep the records.

Thorough by Design

What's Included in a GC Tune-Up

Our maintenance visit is a complete multi-point service — not a quick once-over — so nothing gets missed.

1

Clean coils

We clean the indoor and outdoor coils so your system can transfer heat efficiently in both modes.

2

Check refrigerant

We verify refrigerant is at the correct level — low charge wastes energy and can freeze the system.

3

Inspect electrical

We tighten connections and test capacitors, contactors, and controls to prevent failures.

4

Test defrost & reversing valve

We confirm the defrost cycle and reversing valve switch correctly between heating and cooling.

5

Lubricate moving parts

We lubricate motors and check the fan and blower so everything runs quietly and smoothly.

6

Check the thermostat

We verify your thermostat is calibrated and communicating with the system accurately.

7

Replace or check the filter

A clean filter protects airflow and efficiency — we check it and replace it when needed.

8

Measure airflow & temps

We measure temperatures and airflow to confirm your heat pump is performing the way it should.

Good Questions

Heat Pump Maintenance FAQs for Cincinnati Homeowners

How often should a heat pump be serviced?

Because a heat pump runs year-round for both heating and cooling, the best practice is maintenance twice a year — once in spring before cooling season and once in fall before heating season. At minimum, schedule a tune-up once a year. Our maintenance plans handle the scheduling for you. Call (859) 242-4663.

What does a heat pump tune-up include?

A GC tune-up includes cleaning the indoor and outdoor coils, checking refrigerant, inspecting and tightening electrical connections, testing the defrost cycle and reversing valve, lubricating motors, checking the thermostat, replacing or checking the filter, and measuring airflow and temperatures to confirm efficient operation.

Do heat pumps really need annual maintenance?

Yes. A heat pump works in every season, so it accumulates roughly twice the runtime of a furnace or AC alone. Regular maintenance keeps it efficient, prevents avoidable breakdowns, extends its lifespan, and is often required to keep the manufacturer's warranty valid.

Does GC Home Service offer a maintenance plan?

Yes. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include scheduled tune-ups so your system gets serviced on time every season, along with member benefits. It's the easiest way to protect your investment and keep your heat pump running efficiently.

Can maintenance lower my energy bills?

Often, yes. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, and clogged filters force a heat pump to work harder and use more energy. A tune-up restores efficiency, which can lower your bills and reduce the wear that leads to costly repairs.

Do you maintain ductless mini-splits too?

Yes. As a Mitsubishi Electric dealer, we service ductless mini-splits — cleaning indoor and outdoor units, checking refrigerant, and inspecting electrical components. Regular mini-split maintenance protects performance and prevents expensive breakdowns. Call (859) 242-4663.
