Why It Matters

Hydronic heat pumps heat water instead of air, so annual service covers different ground than a standard system. Refrigerant charge, the water loop, buffer tank, and circulator pump all need a check before heating season.

How to Do It

  1. In late summer or early fall, contact a licensed HVAC technician who has specific experience with hydronic heat pump systems.
  2. When booking, confirm the tech will check refrigerant charge, inspect the buffer tank and circulator pump, and verify the water loop is holding proper pressure.
  3. After the appointment, ask the technician to walk you through any findings and confirm the system is ready for heating season.
