Home / Heat Pumps / Heat Pump Maintenance

Your heat pump works every season. Give it a tune-up

That checks both.

Unlike a furnace or AC, a heat pump never really gets a season off. Our tune-up cleans, tests and checks heating, cooling and defrost, then tells you in plain terms what’s in good shape and what needs attention.

Why a tune-up matters

A heat pump can seem fine now and struggle when the weather turns.

In spring and fall, a heat pump barely works. A dirty coil, a weak capacitor or a slow refrigerant leak can go unnoticed until a heat wave or a deep freeze makes it run for hours. That’s when comfort drops, backup heat kicks in and bills climb.
A tune-up finds those problems while they’re small and usually cheaper to fix. Because a heat pump does two jobs, we check both: heating, cooling and the defrost cycle that keeps it working through winter.

How it works

In about an hour, you'll know exactly where your heat pump stands.

You’ll know what’s wrong and what it costs before we start.

01

Book a time

Online or by phone. Spring and fall are best, before cooling or heating season gets busy.

02

Clean, test, inspect

We work through the full checklist and run the system in both heating and cooling.

03

A straight answer

We walk you through what’s in good shape and what needs attention, in plain terms.

04

You decide on any fixes

If something needs repair, you get the price first. Nothing extra gets done until you say yes.
Two ways to book

Book once, or put it on a schedule you don't have to remember.

Most of our customers choose a plan. The tune-up is included, you’re first in line when it’s cold, and repairs cost less.

I have been using Markham Heating & Air for the past 10yrs. They are extremely pleasant to deal with. Anytime Mitchell shows up for a service call he is always happy & knows his stuff. Today I had a new tech by the name of Sylas he was fantastic fixed the issue with the furnace, very friendly and knowledgeable.

I have used Markham Heating for my pool heater, furnace, and gas fireplace repair. Each time I have called them, they have given me excellent advice, quick service, and fair pricing. They went the extra mile to check if a part was still under warranty, which I was very happy it was. I would highly recommend choosing them.

Mitchell was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. He installed a central humidifier at my house because the old one broke and needed to be replaced.

Very kind group of folks operate the business. While there were some logistical issues (nothing to do with them), they provided a ton of a guidance and help which lead to completion of getting our furnace fixed. Thanks for everything! Will definitely call again if anything else arises.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent experience with Markham Heating & Air for my water tank warranty replacement. Vijay and Mitchell were great to deal with from start to finish. Communication was outstanding, pricing was fair, and the scope of work was clearly explained upfront. They were knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to answer all my questions. The installation was done thoroughly without rushing, and their personalized service and attention to detail really stood out. Their customer service before and after the sale was equally impressive. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that genuinely cares about its customers. I highly recommend Markham Heating & Air and would gladly use them again!

Heat pump maintenance questions

How often should a heat pump be serviced?
At least once a year. Because a heat pump works in every season, many homeowners book in spring and fall, before cooling and heating season.
Do I need maintenance to keep my warranty?
Many manufacturers ask for proof of regular professional maintenance before they’ll cover a warranty claim. We keep a record of every visit, so you have it if you ever need it.
Do you service ductless mini-splits?
Yes. We clean the indoor units’ filters, coils and fans, flush the drains and check the outdoor unit, for most makes and models.
What happens if you find a problem?
We show you what we found and give you the repair price. Nothing extra gets done until you say yes.
I have a hybrid system. Does the furnace need its own tune-up?
Yes. The heat pump and furnace are separate pieces of equipment. We can do both on the same visit so everything is ready for winter.
Is a plan worth it over a one-time tune-up?
If you’d like your heat pump looked after every year without thinking about it, usually yes. The plan includes your tune-up, plus priority booking and discounts if a repair comes up.
