🧭 Not Sure What You Need?
Is This a Repair or a Tune-Up?
Both keep your system running, but they solve different problems. Pick the one that matches what’s happening right now.
🚨
Did Your System Suddenly Stop Working?
No heat, no cooling, strange noise, or a shutdown — this needs a diagnostic repair visit, not a routine tune-up.
🗓️
Want a Safety Check Before Winter or Summer?
System is running fine, but it’s been a season or more since the last visit — a seasonal tune-up catches small issues early.
Our Services
What’s Included in Our Heat Pump Tune-Up
Our heat pump maintenance service is a comprehensive inspection and service of all
major components — ensuring your system performs reliably through both Burlington winters and summers.
major components — ensuring your system performs reliably through both Burlington winters and summers.
Coil Cleaning (Indoor & Outdoor)
We clean both the indoor evaporator coil and outdoor condenser coil. Dirty coils significantly reduce efficiency in both heating and cooling modes.
Refrigerant Level Check
We check refrigerant charge levels and inspect for leaks. Incorrect refrigerant levels reduce performance and can damage your compressor.
Defrost System Inspection
We test and inspect the defrost system — critical for proper heat pump operation during Burlington winters when ice can form on the outdoor coil.
Electrical Component Check
We inspect capacitors, contactors, wiring connections, and the control board for signs of wear, corrosion, or impending failure.
Airflow & Filter Service
We check airflow, clean or replace air filters, and ensure the blower motor is operating correctly for optimal system performance.
Full Operational Test
We test your heat pump in both heating and cooling modes to verify it’s performing correctly and efficiently in all operating conditions.

Heat Pump Savings Calculator
Get a quick estimate on how much you could potentially save in heating costs by switching from your current system to an air-source heat pump.
What is your current heating type?
Do you have any of your past utility bills?
Your actual bills help us provide a more accurate estimate. If not, we can estimate based on similar homes in your region.
What’s your approximate annual heating cost?
Check your utility bills or estimate based on your monthly costs.
What type of fuel are you heating with?
Do you know how efficient your current furnace is?
AFUE = Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. Higher % = more efficient.
How old is your current heating system?
Older systems run less efficiently, so your actual savings may be even higher.

Rebates & Incentives
Burlington, Ontario Heat Pump Rebates & Incentives 2026
Straight answer: routine maintenance itself is not eligible for government rebates. But maintenance visits sometimes lead to bigger savings opportunities.
ℹ️ No rebate applies to routine tune-ups or cleaning. Rebate programs like the Canada Greener Homes Grant and Ontario Energy Rebates apply to system upgrades, not maintenance visits.
💡 But if our technician finds your current system is beyond a reasonable repair, you may qualify for up to $7,500 in Ontario Energy Rebates by upgrading to a new high-efficiency heat pump. We'll walk you through eligibility on the spot, no pressure.
Signs It's Time for Heat Pump Maintenance
You don't need a breakdown to justify a tune-up. These are the everyday signs it's overdue.
💸
Spike in Hydro Bills
A sudden, unexplained jump in your electricity bill often means your system is working harder than it should to hit the same temperature.
🔊
Grinding or Squealing Noises
Unusual sounds from your unit are rarely nothing — they often point to a bearing, belt, or motor issue that's still cheap to fix.
🧊
Ice Buildup on the Outdoor Coil
Some winter frost is normal. Ice that doesn't clear on its own signals a defrost cycle or airflow problem.
🌬️
Weak Airflow in Rooms
Reduced air pressure at the vents often traces back to a dirty filter, coil, or duct restriction — an easy tune-up fix.
📋
No Service Record on File
Missing documentation could put your manufacturer warranty at risk if you ever need to make a claim.
📅
It's Been a Full Season Since Your Last Visit
Because your heat pump runs year-round, missing either the spring or fall check leaves half the year's wear unaddressed.
How Neglect Turns Into a Breakdown
A tune-up interrupts this exact chain reaction — while it's still a small, inexpensive fix.

🧊
Coil Cleaning Prevents Efficiency Loss
Dirt-coated coils force the system to run longer to reach the same temperature, quietly raising your bill month after month.
🌀
Refrigerant Checks Prevent Compressor Failure
Running low on refrigerant for months at a time is one of the most common paths to a full compressor replacement.
❄️
Defrost Testing Prevents Winter No-Heat Calls
A defrost system that fails mid-winter can leave your outdoor unit iced solid on the coldest night of the year.
⚡
Electrical Checks Prevent Sudden Shutdowns
Worn capacitors and contactors rarely give warning, they simply stop working, usually at the worst possible time.

Why Heat Pump Maintenance Matters More Than You Think
Year-Round Reliability
Unlike furnaces or AC units, your heat pump runs year-round. That's twice the wear — making regular maintenance even more important.
Efficiency Optimization
A well-maintained heat pump delivers maximum efficiency in both heating and cooling modes — directly reducing your energy costs throughout the year.
Prevents Compressor Failure
The compressor is the most expensive component in your heat pump. Regular maintenance — especially refrigerant checks — protects against premature compressor failure.
Warranty Compliance
Most heat pump manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep the warranty valid.

Warranty and Guarantees
Documented, professional maintenance protects the coverage you already have.
📋

Our 30-Day Labour Guarantee
If something isn't right within 30 days of a tune-up, we'll come back and re-check it at no visit fee.
Burlington Heat Pump Maintenance Challenges
Local climate affects what your system needs most during a tune-up. Here's what we watch for specifically in Burlington homes.
The Challenge
Lake Ontario's humidity and heavy summer pollen coat outdoor coils, blocking airflow faster than in drier inland areas.
The Challenge
Lake-effect winters put extra demand on the defrost cycle, more freeze-thaw events than a typical inland winter.
The Challenge
Humid lake air speeds up corrosion on electrical contacts in older outdoor units.
How It's Handled
Every tune-up includes a specialized chemical coil wash that fully clears this buildup, not just a rinse.
How It's Handled
Fall tune-ups include a full defrost system test, catching a failing sensor before the cold season stresses it.
How It's Handled
Every tune-up includes an electrical component check specifically looking for early corrosion, not just failure.

How often should a heat pump be serviced?
We recommend twice per year for heat pump systems — once in spring before cooling season and once in fall before heating season — since heat pumps work year-round.
What's the most important heat pump maintenance task?
Keeping the coils clean and maintaining proper refrigerant levels are the two most impactful maintenance tasks for heat pump efficiency and longevity.
How long does heat pump maintenance take?
A thorough heat pump maintenance visit typically takes 60–90 minutes.
Do you offer annual maintenance plans?
Yes. Our maintenance plans include scheduled heat pump tune-ups, priority booking, and discounts on parts and labour for any repairs needed.
What happens if my heat pump needs a repair during the maintenance visit?
We'll explain the issue clearly and provide a written quote. You decide whether to proceed — no pressure. Any repair quote clearly separates parts and labour costs.
