How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If you use your heat pump for heating and cooling, you should service it twice annually, in the fall and the spring.

What is the life span of a heat pump?

The average life span of a heat pump is 10-15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round to heat and cool your home, they don’t always last as long as a typical heating or cooling system. However, you can extend the life span by ensuring that your unit is routinely maintained by an HVAC professional.

How Do Packaged Units Work?

A packaged unit might be the answer when you’re looking to save space and maintain efficiency in an HVAC system, especially in a location with dramatically changing seasonal temperatures, like the Omaha and Council Bluffs area. A packaged unit combines both air conditioning and heating units in one metal cabinet, usually outdoors next to the structure or on the rooftop. For businesses, a packaged unit means keeping large HVAC units away from customers.

Though the operating systems are slightly different than traditional heating and cooling systems, all packaged units rely on existing ductwork to move air throughout your property. To best fit your needs, packaged units come in a few varieties, including:

Packaged air conditioners: Combining an air conditioner and air handler with heat strips is the new wave of heating and cooling.
Packaged gas-electric: This version of a packaged unit uses a gas pack, which requires little indoor space. It combines everything you love about the warmth of gas heating.
Packaged dual-fuel: This energy-efficient system works below freezing by combining a heat pump and gas furnace to ensure your space is warm even in the coldest temperatures
