What we did
In November, we made a routine maintenance visit to a home in Wilmore with a heat pump system. Our technician Ivan handled the work, with the goal of keeping the system performing well heading into the colder months.
Ivan replaced the 16 x 20 x 1 filter and carried out each maintenance task for the visit carefully. A new filter makes a real difference in air quality and system efficiency. It traps dust and particles before they move through the house, and it lets air flow freely so the system does not have to strain.
Heat pumps in Kentucky do double duty, providing cooling in the summer and heat in the winter. That year-round workload makes regular maintenance especially worthwhile. Routine care helps prolong the life of the system and keeps it running smoothly throughout the home. November is a good time for this kind of visit, because it sets the system up for the heating season before the coldest weather arrives. Keeping track of the filter size, 16 x 20 x 1 in this case, also makes it simple to stay on schedule between visits and avoid guessing at the store.
