- Two heat pumps, about 2 years old

- Preventive maintenance
- Result
- Both within manufacturer specs
The situation
The home was listed for sale and the owner wanted both heat pumps checked. Both systems were about two years old.
What our technician found
- Electrical components, refrigerant levels, contactors and capacitors inspected on both units
- Both systems operating within manufacturer specifications with no major mechanical issues
- Condenser coils starting to collect dirt and debris, which can reduce efficiency and airflow over time
Options we gave the homeowner
Chemical coil cleaning (recommended)
Improves performance and efficiency and helps the equipment last longer, which is useful while the home is on the market.
No further work
Systems are operational and cooling properly.
The result
We explained the benefits of a chemical coil cleaning. Because the home was for sale, the owner chose not to go ahead. Both systems were working and cooling properly when we left, and the owner had a clean maintenance record to show buyers.
Buddy's takeaway: Even newer heat pumps collect dirt in the Las Vegas dust. A recent maintenance record gives buyers confidence and helps keep HVAC from becoming a sticking point in the inspection.
Common questions
Should I service my HVAC before selling my house?

What is a chemical coil cleaning?
