About Our Heat Pump Maintenance in Charlotte
Heat pumps work year-round, so regular maintenance is essential. Kodiak Heating and Cooling provides comprehensive heat pump maintenance that improves efficiency, prevents breakdowns, and extends system lifespan. Our service includes inspection of both heating and cooling components.
Because heat pumps run year-round for both heating and cooling, they work harder than traditional systems. This makes regular maintenance even more important. Our twice-yearly maintenance (spring and fall) ensures your heat pump is ready for both cooling and heating seasons. We check refrigerant levels, test the reversing valve, inspect electrical components, and more to keep your system running optimally.

Common Questions
Heat Pump Maintenance FAQ
Everything Charlotte homeowners need to know about heat pump maintenance
How much does heat pump maintenance cost in Charlotte?
Heat pump maintenance costs $149 per service in Charlotte. Since heat pumps need bi-annual service (spring and fall), our annual plan costs $199/year for both tune-ups plus priority scheduling and 15% off repairs. Heat pumps work year-round, so regular maintenance is essential.
Do heat pumps really need maintenance twice per year?
Yes! Unlike furnaces or ACs that work seasonally, heat pumps run year-round in Charlotte (heating AND cooling). This doubles wear-and-tear. Bi-annual maintenance (spring and fall) prevents 90% of breakdowns and maintains efficiency. Skipping service voids most warranties.
What's included in heat pump maintenance?
Our comprehensive service includes: refrigerant check, coil cleaning (both units), electrical testing, reversing valve testing, defrost control check, filter replacement, thermostat calibration, and performance testing in both heating and cooling modes. We ensure year-round reliability.
When should I schedule heat pump maintenance in Charlotte?
Schedule twice yearly: April (before cooling season) and October (before heating season). This ensures your heat pump is ready for Charlotte's hot summers and occasional cold winters. Maintenance plan members get priority scheduling.
Will maintenance really save me money?
Absolutely! Maintenance costs $199/year but saves $400-$600 annually through: 20-30% lower energy bills, prevented breakdowns, extended equipment life (12-18 vs 8-12 years), and maintaining manufacturer warranties. Charlotte homeowners who skip maintenance spend 3x more on repairs.
Can you service all heat pump brands?
Yes! We service all major brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Bryant, American Standard, Mitsubishi mini-splits, and more. We service what we sell and what others sell. 25+ years combined experience with Charlotte HVAC systems.
Do you service ductless mini-split heat pumps?
Absolutely! We maintain all ductless mini-split brands including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG, and Samsung. Mini-splits need specialized maintenance including drain line cleaning, filter cleaning, and refrigerant checks. Learn about mini-splits vs central air.
Why is bi-annual maintenance important for heat pumps?
Heat pumps work harder than separate heating/cooling systems because they run year-round. Learn about heat pump vs furnace differences. They switch between heating and cooling modes, stress the reversing valve, and accumulate more wear. Bi-annual service prevents failures.
What if you find a problem during maintenance?
We'll explain the issue clearly, show you the problem if possible, and provide upfront pricing for repairs. You decide whether to fix now or later. No high-pressure sales tactics. Maintenance plan members get 15% off all repairs.
How long does heat pump maintenance take?
A thorough tune-up takes 90-120 minutes. We service both indoor and outdoor units, test heating AND cooling modes, check reversing valve operation, and clean coils. This takes longer than AC-only maintenance but ensures year-round performance.
Do you offer heat pump maintenance plans?
Yes! Our maintenance plan costs $199/year and includes: 2 comprehensive tune-ups (spring & fall), priority scheduling, 15% off repairs, no diagnostic fees, and transferable benefits. It's the best value for protecting your heat pump investment.
Will skipping maintenance void my warranty?
Most manufacturers require bi-annual professional maintenance for heat pump warranty coverage (because they run year-round). If your system fails and you can't provide service records, they may deny the warranty claim. Our maintenance includes documentation.
Can I just change filters myself and skip professional service?
Filter changes help but don't address refrigerant levels, electrical issues, reversing valve problems, or defrost cycle malfunctions. Heat pumps are complex systems that need professional testing in both heating and cooling modes. Charlotte's year-round operation makes this critical.
Do you clean the outdoor unit coils?
Absolutely! Outdoor coil cleaning is essential in Charlotte due to pollen, cottonwood, and debris. Dirty coils reduce efficiency by 30-50% and cause high energy bills. We clean both outdoor condenser coils and indoor evaporator coils during each service.
