Preparing Your Heat Pump for a Maine Winter

By Heat Pumps by Baron • Greater Bangor, Maine

Heat pumps are an important source of home heating across the Bangor area. Before temperatures drop, a few basic maintenance steps can help you get ready for the heating season.

Keep the outdoor unit clear

Follow your equipment manufacturer's guidance for snow and ice clearance. Keep the outdoor unit's airflow unobstructed, and never chip ice off delicate components with sharp tools.

Check indoor filters

Dusty filters can restrict airflow. Check and clean accessible filters according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the indoor head has heavy buildup beyond the filter, consider professional cleaning.

Know when cleaning isn't enough

If your heat pump struggles to heat, shows an error, or makes unfamiliar sounds, it may need troubleshooting or repair. A cleaning alone cannot resolve every performance issue.
