This proactive approach also takes less time than the repair process, thus saving time and money.

What's included?

First Stop provides comprehensive heat pump repair services to ensure your system is up to code. Our technicians assess the following areas:

Cleaning and Filters

  • We thoroughly examine the area around the heat pump toensure it does not have any debris.
  • We also check to ensure that your drains don't have any blockage. Moreover, our technicians inspect the condensate pans for leaks or cracks.
  • Our technicians also replace the air filters and blower wheels if the existing components are unclean or have tears or cracks. This can help you conserve energy and prevent damage to the compressor.
  • First Stop's technicians also clean out the condenser coil to avoid refrigerant pressure problems. We also assess the vibration fans, crankcase heaters, reversing valves, defrost assembly, and motor stability.
  • We also assess for indications of clogging in metering devices to ensure that the pump is operating efficiently. Our teams also ensure that the correct charge goes to the refrigerant.

Mechanical Examination

  • Our teams inspect the thermostat to ensure that its readings align with the surrounding temperature. We also check and fix the settings to prioritise your comfort and conserve energy.
  • Our experts also make sure all the components are lubricated well. This measure prevents energy losses by overcoming friction.
  • Our technicians also evaluate the controls and the heat pump's start-up and shut down mechanisms. We thoroughly examine all of the unit's components to certify optimal operations.
  • Our experts check the placement of safety panels and additional elements of safety.

Electrical Examination

  • First Stop technicians examine the electrical conditions to optimise security and safety. We make sure all the wiring is up to code.
  • Our team also examines the energy consumption and capacitors to certify accurate functioning. A fault in this area can signify electrical hazards and motor and compressor disasters.
  • The technicians also assess the disconnect switches and test-time delays to avoid blown fuses and electrical accidents.
  • We also check the motor's amperage drawn, along with the belt, pulley, and component alignment that can save long-term repair costs.
  • The distinction in coil temperatures indicates capacity problems. Therefore, our technicians examine the temperature to ensure that it stays at an optimal setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the answers to some of the questions we get the most:

$140 + GST per year.

Routine heat pump maintenance serves as a preventive approach to optimise the functioning of your heat pump. Additionally, maintenance services play an important role in energy conservation, improve the machinery’s operations, and protect the machine’s components from additional damage. Essentially, heat pump maintenance can save you time and money in the long run.

Heat pump maintenance is a technical job that involves high voltage electricity and refrigerant chemicals.

Therefore, getting professional assistance is recommended.

Our technicians are trained and licensed to do the job, so you can count on them to be thorough with the inspection, detect potential problems, and provide relevant fixes accordingly.

However, you can perform routine maintenance yourself, such as cleaning the vent’s surroundings and replacing the air filters.

Experts recommend bi-yearly maintenance services done by a professional service provider.

However, if your heat pump is used all year round, scheduling maintenance two times a year would be ideal.

The fall and spring seasons are ideal for heat pump maintenance.

While it is essential to call a professional to service your heat pumps, you can still do the following maintenance tasks on your own:
  • Clean out or replace the air filters once or twice in two months
  • Ensure that the outdoor heat pump system is free of grass, leaves, dirt, snow, or any debris
  • Make sure the heat pump has a two-foot clearance area in its surrounding
  • Clean out the supply and return registers to ensure that the vents stay open
