Regular maintenance is essential to keep your heat pump operating efficiently and prolong its lifespan. South West Home Comfort provides expert maintenance services for Daikin heat pumps, ensuring your system performs at its best year-round.


Here are some practical tips for maintaining your heat pump:


1. Clean or Replace Filters Regularly

  • Check your filters monthly and clean or replace them every 1-3 months, depending on usage.


2. Keep Outdoor Units Clear

  • Remove debris, leaves, and snow from around the outdoor unit to ensure proper airflow.

  • Trim nearby plants and bushes to maintain at least two feet of clearance around the unit.


3. Check the Thermostat

  • Ensure your thermostat is functioning correctly and set to the desired temperature.

  • Upgrade to a programmable or smart thermostat for enhanced control and energy savings.


4. Inspect and Clean Coils

  • Dirty coils reduce your heat pump’s ability to absorb and transfer heat.

  • Schedule professional cleaning with South West Home Comfort to maintain efficiency.

  • Contact our technicians for a professional inspection if you notice anything unusual.

  • Our certified technicians can perform a comprehensive inspection, including checking refrigerant levels, tightening electrical connections, and ensuring all components are working correctly.

  • Regular tune-ups prevent costly repairs and keep your system running efficiently.


7. Inspect Ductwork
