What to expect from LC Heating & Air
### Heat Pump Maintenance: One System, One Annual Visit One of the practical advantages of a heat pump system is that annual maintenance covers both your heating and cooling needs in a single visit. Rather than scheduling an AC tune-up in spring and a furnace tune-up in fall, heat pump maintenance covers the entire system — we test both operating modes, inspect all components that affect both heating and cooling performance, and give you a complete picture of the system's condition.
Overview
### What Heat Pump Maintenance Includes Heat pump maintenance has all the elements of standard AC maintenance plus heat pump-specific items. Standard items: cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils, testing and inspecting capacitors and contactors, checking refrigerant levels and testing for leaks, flushing the condensate drain, checking electrical connections and blower motor. Heat pump-specific items: testing the reversing valve in both modes to verify proper switching, checking the defrost board and defrost sensors, verifying the auxiliary heat operation, and testing both heating and cooling mode temperature splits.
### When to Schedule Because a heat pump serves both heating and cooling functions, the best maintenance timing in Los Angeles is early spring (March–April) — before cooling season peaks and after the heating season has ended. This allows us to address any issues found in a single visit with maximum lead time before the heavy summer cooling demand.
### Maintenance Plan We offer annual maintenance plans that cover a full heat pump tune-up with priority scheduling and a discount on any repair work needed during the year. Call (323) 970-3113 for details.

What customers say about heat pump maintenance
Verified reviews from Los Angeles homeowners who used our heat pump maintenance service.
“Called LC because our CO detector went off. Their technician found a crack in the heat exchanger and immediately shut down the furnace. He explained the safety issue clearly, provided a replacement estimate, and didn't try to scare us — just facts.”
“Our furnace wasn't heating evenly upstairs. LC found that half of our ductwork in the attic had separated and was blowing hot air into the attic. Repaired everything and now every room heats equally. Professional and transparent.”
“Switched from gas furnace to a heat pump after talking to LC. They handled the TECH Clean California paperwork and we got a $2,500 rebate plus the federal tax credit. Total out of pocket was about $5,500 for a system that now heats and cools. Gas bill went to zero.”
