Essex County Heat Pump Installation

Heating & Air Conditioning Technicians Based in Ipswich, Serving the North Shore

At Morris Heating & Air Conditioning, we know that techniques for heating and cooling homes in Ipswich and Essex County continue to improve as furnace manufacturers become more efficient. Most recently, reputable manufacturers like Mitsubishi have designed energy-efficient heat pump systems, which allow you to completely customize and zone your home's heating system.  

Why Choose Heat Pumps?

• Heat pump systems are energy efficient, extracting heat from the outside air – even if it’s below freezing – and moving it inside. 
• In the summer months, heat pumps operate as air conditioners, essentially running in reverse: extracting heat from the indoor air and moving it outside.
• Heat pumps can be used in both ducted and ductless applications.
• They can be a smart way to supplement an existing heating system (gas/oil/propane furnace or boiler). 
• Heat pumps qualify for the Mass Save $50,000 heat loan

What Maintenance Needs to Be Done on a Heat Pump?

Maintaining a heat pump is crucial to ensure it operates efficiently and lasts for years. Here are some essential maintenance tasks:

• Regular Cleaning: Keep outdoor unit clear of debris and replace air filters every 1-3 months.
• Inspect and Clean Coils: Check indoor and outdoor coils for dirt, and clean them for proper airflow.
• Check Refrigerant Levels: Have a professional adjust levels if needed for optimal performance.
• Inspect and Lubricate Moving Parts: Regularly check and lubricate fan motors and bearings.
• Inspect Electrical Components: Look for wear or damage, tighten connections, and replace damaged parts.
• Test Thermostat Operation: Ensure accurate temperature control and replace batteries if needed.
• Inspect Ductwork: Check for leaks, seal as necessary for energy efficiency.
• Check Airflow: Keep vents unobstructed for proper airflow.
• Annual Professional Maintenance: Schedule yearly tune-ups with an HVAC technician.
• Monitor Performance: Pay attention to cycles, energy consumption, and address issues promptly.  

Regular maintenance helps the heat pump operate efficiently and prevents costly repairs. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and consider professional help for complex tasks.
