Seasonal Heat Pump Maintenance That Keeps Your Home Comfortable Year Round
Earlier this spring we visited a homeowner in the Orenco Station area who noticed their heat pump was running longer than usual and making a light rattling noise during the first few minutes of operation. The system still heated and cooled, but it didn’t feel as steady as it used to. They wanted to get ahead of any issues before the weather shifted.
When our technician arrived, he inspected the outdoor fan assembly, checked refrigerant pressures, cleaned the indoor and outdoor coils, tested electrical components, and reviewed the defrost cycle. He found a partially clogged outdoor coil and a weakening capacitor that could have caused a mid season breakdown. After explaining everything in simple terms, he cleaned the coil, replaced the capacitor, tightened loose fittings, and verified balanced airflow throughout the home.
A week later the homeowner said the system was noticeably quieter and the temperature held steady all day without long run times. This is exactly what routine maintenance is designed to do. Heat pumps work hard year round, and a single visit keeps them running smoothly through both heating and cooling seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Pump Maintenance
Heat pumps run in every season, which makes yearly maintenance especially important for stable comfort and long term reliability. Below are answers to the most common heat pump maintenance questions we hear from homeowners throughout Hillsboro, Beaverton, Orenco Station, and nearby areas.
How often should I schedule heat pump maintenance?
Heat pumps benefit from two tune ups per year, one before the heating season and one before cooling season. Regular service keeps both modes running efficiently and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.
What does heat pump maintenance include?
A full tune up includes checking refrigerant levels, inspecting sensors, cleaning coils, testing electrical components, confirming proper defrost operation, and verifying airflow and thermostat communication.
Can heat pump maintenance prevent repairs?
Yes. Many heat pump failures start as small issues such as weak capacitors, dirty coils, sensor problems, or airflow restrictions. Catching these early prevents more serious and costly damage.
Will maintenance help keep my energy costs down?
In most homes, yes. A well maintained heat pump runs more efficiently, cycles less often, and does not have to work as hard to maintain your desired temperature.
Is maintenance necessary if my heat pump seems to be working fine?
Absolutely. Heat pumps can appear to run normally while hidden issues build up behind the scenes. Routine maintenance helps keep the system reliable and protects your investment.
