Heat Pump Maintenance Checklist Ontario — Annual Service Guide for Scarborough Homeowners
Heat pumps need annual maintenance — ideally twice a year (spring and fall) since they run year-round for both heating and cooling.
DIY Heat Pump Maintenance
- ✅ Change filter every 30–60 days
- ✅ Keep 2-foot clearance around outdoor unit; remove leaves, snow, ice
- ✅ Gently rinse outdoor coils in spring (garden hose, low pressure)
- ✅ Do NOT cover outdoor unit in winter — heat pumps run in winter
- ✅ Check condensate drain line monthly
Professional Heat Pump Tune-Up (Annual)
- 🔧 Check refrigerant charge (most critical item — low refrigerant destroys compressor)
- 🔧 Test defrost cycle operation (critical for Ontario winters)
- 🔧 Check reversing valve (switches between heating and cooling mode)
- 🔧 Test capacitors and contactors
- 🔧 Clean evaporator and condenser coils
- 🔧 Check electrical connections
Heat pump tune-up cost: $149–$199
