Palm Springs Residential Heat Pump Maintenance

Maintenance for Palm Springs Heat Pumps

Desert Tech Technician performing maintenance at a customer's homeAs a Palm Springs homeowner, you depend on your heat pump for comfort in the summer and winter. However, temperatures in Palm Springs, particularly in the summer, are extreme. Therefore, a poorly maintained heat pump can increase the likelihood of failure, which tends to happen on the year’s hottest days.

Even though manufacturers design heat pump systems to tolerate much neglect, they still require routine maintenance. The best way to extend your heat pump’s life is regular maintenance. By routinely servicing your Palm Springs heat pump, you can ensure the longevity of your machine.

A poorly maintained heat pump consumes more energy, driving your electric bills up. A poorly maintained heat pump can consume 10% to 25% more electricity than a well maintained one. Even if you have solar, your poorly maintained heat pump can cost you money and can drive up your yearly electricity true-up bill.

Desert Tech offers heat pump maintenance plans for Palm Springs homeowners to ensure that your system receives regular service. Our technicians are trained and experienced in all brands and models of heat pumps.
