A fall checkup of your heat strips, reversing valve, and defrost controls, so your heat works on the first cold night. It’s included in our Hero Maintenance Program.
Learn moreWhat Is Heating Maintenance?
Heating maintenance is a scheduled inspection and tune-up of the components that produce heat in your home. For heat pumps, that means checking the reversing valve, defrost controls, and refrigerant circuit. For heat strips, it means testing elements, sequencers, and safety switches. For furnaces, it includes igniters, burners, and venting.
In West Palm Beach, heating maintenance works a little differently than in colder climates. Your heat might run only a handful of nights each year, so the goal is to catch problems before they surprise you. Since most heat pumps also cool your home, a heating tune-up also helps your AC run better.

Simple Heating Care Between Tune-Ups
These easy steps help your heating system stay ready between professional visits.

- Test your heat briefly in the fall before you actually need it.
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants, and debris.
- Make sure supply vents and return grilles aren’t blocked.
- Check that your thermostat has fresh batteries and the correct heating settings.
- If you have a gas furnace, keep a working carbon monoxide detector nearby.
