HEAT PUMP MAINTENANCE
Heat Pump Maintenance in Pueblo, CO
A ducted heat pump heats your home in winter and cools it in summer, so it earns a tune-up ahead of each season. Fesmire Heating & Air Conditioning is a second-generation, family-owned and operated company based in Pueblo, serving homeowners in Pueblo, Pueblo West and nearby Southern Colorado towns since 2000. As an Armstrong Air ProTeam contractor, we maintain any brand of heat pump. Our technicians clean, test and measure the system in both modes, then give you a written report of what we found and what we recommend next. Give us a call Monday through Friday between 7am and 4pm to get scheduled.

WHY IT MATTERS
Why Pueblo Homeowners Choose Our Heating and Cooling Company for Tune-Ups
A furnace rests all summer and an air conditioner rests all winter, but a ducted heat pump works through both. That year-round duty means wear can build quietly in either season, and a tune-up helps us catch it before the weather turns demanding. We plan every visit with that two-season workload in mind, so neither heating nor cooling gets treated as an afterthought.
Fesmire began as a father's company and is now run by his son. In a maintenance relationship, that second-generation continuity means the people who wrote last season's report are the ones you reach when you have a question this season. Read our company story to see where we came from and how we think about the homes we care for.
As an Armstrong Air ProTeam contractor, we know how a ducted heat pump is built, from the outdoor coil and fan to the reversing valve, the indoor air handler and the controls that tie them together. We treat those parts as one connected system, because a weak part in one place often shows up as a symptom somewhere else.
Your heat pump does not need to be one we installed or one that carries a particular badge. Tell us the make and model when you call, and we plan the visit around what is actually sitting outside your home, so the work fits your system rather than a generic checklist.
Every visit ends with a written report of what we measured, what we noticed and what we recommend next. If something needs attention, we explain it and lay out your options before any work begins, in keeping with our commitment to no surprises or hidden fees. You decide what happens next.
We have been installing and servicing heating and cooling equipment since 2000. Veterans and seniors receive 10% off when they mention it, and our Specials & Coupons page explains the details so you know what to say when you call.
Our Maintenance Plans
Heating & Cooling Maintenance Plans in Pueblo, CO
Regular maintenance is the simplest way to protect your equipment. A system that gets checked before the season starts is far less likely to fail on the hottest or coldest day of the year in Pueblo. We offer maintenance plans for Pueblo-area homes.
Residential Maintenance Plans
Our residential maintenance covers the systems we install and service, including air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps, mini-splits, and package units. Tune-ups help your equipment run efficiently, and they give us the chance to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
- Efficient Operation
- Early Problem Detection
- Longer Equipment Life
OUR PROCESS
What Happens During Your Heat Pump Visit
1. Talk Through Both Seasons of Operation
Because a heat pump runs year-round, we start by asking how it has behaved in heating and in cooling, since that history tells us where to look first.
- Ask how the system has run in each mode, including noise, airflow and comfort from room to room
- Note how often the thermostat has shown auxiliary heat and whether you have seen ice on the outdoor unit
- Confirm the brand and model from the data label on the outdoor unit
- Review earlier repairs and the last professional service you remember
- Check thermostat settings and how the system responds when it changes modes
- Ask whether anything in your home has changed, such as blocked vents or newly used rooms
2. Clean and Inspect the Outdoor Unit, Coil and Air Handler
A heat pump's outdoor coil collects heat in winter and releases it in summer, so keeping it clean and clear matters in both seasons.
- Clear leaves, grass, snow and debris from around the cabinet and confirm it has room to breathe
- Clean the outdoor coil and inspect the fan blades and guard
- Inspect the air filter and tell you when it needs to be replaced
- Check the indoor coil, blower and air handler for dust buildup
- Clear the condensate drain and pan so water leaves your home as it should
- Look over the pad, mounting and cabinet for rust, damage or settling
3. Test Electrical Parts and Control Circuits
Worn electrical parts can stop a heat pump without warning, and the right instruments show that wear before it turns into a shutdown.
- Inspect wiring, the disconnect and the contactor for heat damage, pitting or loose connections
- Tighten electrical connections where they need it
- Test capacitors against their rated values
- Measure voltage and amperage on the compressor and the fan motors
- Lubricate motors where the design calls for it
- Check the thermostat's low-voltage signals and the controls that tell the system which mode to run
4. Run Heating, Cooling, Defrost and Auxiliary Heat
We operate the system the way you do, in both modes, and watch how it moves heat and how it behaves when it changes over.
- Run a full heating cycle and watch startup, steady operation and shutdown
- Switch to cooling and confirm the reversing valve changes the system over properly
- Read refrigerant pressures and temperatures to judge the charge in each mode, and inspect the lines for oil staining or damaged insulation
- Measure airflow at the blower and at the registers
- Watch a defrost cycle where conditions allow and confirm the control and sensors respond
- Test the auxiliary heat elements, relays and wiring if your system includes them
5. Deliver a Written Findings Report and Next-Visit Recommendations
We finish by putting everything we measured and noticed in writing, so you are never left guessing about the condition of your equipment. Want a report on your own system? Call (719) 240-5109 to book your heat pump tune-up, and tell us what you have.
- Summarize each reading from heating and cooling and what it means, in plain language
- Flag worn parts we found, explain what each could mean for the system and tell you plainly if heat pump installation is starting to make more sense than repairs
- Present your options for anything that needs attention before any work happens, with no surprises or hidden fees
- Recommend what to watch for between visits and when to schedule the next tune-up
- Answer your questions and leave a copy of the report for your records
- Suggest simple habits between visits, such as filter checks and keeping the outdoor unit clear

COMMON QUESTIONS
Heat Pump Maintenance FAQs for Pueblo Homeowners
A heat pump tune-up covers the outdoor unit, the indoor air handler and the controls that connect them. We clean coils, check the filter and condensate drain, test electrical parts, run the system in heating and in cooling, and confirm defrost and auxiliary heat respond as designed. Afterward you receive a written report, so you know exactly where your equipment stands.
Because a heat pump both heats and cools, schedule service ahead of each season, so the system is checked before the heating season and again before the cooling season. If you are unsure what fits your equipment, call (719) 240-5109 during business hours and we will talk through a schedule that suits your home.
We show you what we found, explain what the part does and what may happen if it is left alone, and lay out your options before any work begins. Some findings are small adjustments, while others may call for a heat pump repair. The decision is yours, and our no surprises or hidden fees approach applies to every quote you request.
Yes. Where conditions allow, we watch the system go through a defrost cycle and confirm the controls and sensors respond, and we test the electric auxiliary heat elements, relays and wiring if your system has them. Those parts sit idle much of the year, so a tune-up is a good time to find out whether they are ready before cold weather arrives.
No, and we would never promise that. Maintenance lowers the chance of avoidable trouble by cleaning what collects dirt, catching parts that are wearing and keeping controls properly set. When a part does fail, the written report from your last visit gives our technician a useful starting point, which can make the diagnosis more straightforward for you and for us.
Check the air filter regularly and replace it when it looks dirty, and keep supply and return vents clear of furniture. Outdoors, brush away leaves and debris and clear snow from around the unit, but never chip at ice on the coil. If you hear harsh noises or see ice that will not clear, turn the system off and call (719) 240-5109.
Yes. Your heat pump can be any brand and installed by anyone. As an Armstrong Air ProTeam contractor we know ducted systems well, and we plan each visit around the equipment you actually own. Have the brand and model handy when you call, and we will also ask how the system has been running so the tune-up targets what matters.
When a gas furnace backs up a heat pump, the two often share a blower, ductwork and thermostat, so a problem in one can affect the other. Both benefit from regular attention. Visit our furnace maintenance page to see how we care for heating equipment, and mention both systems when you call so we can plan the visit.
A tune-up is one visit to clean, test and inspect your heat pump. Our residential maintenance plan is how homeowners keep that kind of care going for their heating and cooling equipment. We do not publish plan details on this page, so call (719) 240-5109 during business hours and we will explain what the plan includes and whether it fits your home.
A ductless mini-split has its own filters, indoor coils and condensate drain to care for, and it has no ductwork to inspect, so the visit looks different. We keep the two services separate because the components differ. If you have a wall-mounted system, see our mini-split maintenance page, and we will plan the right visit.

Fesmire Heating & Air Conditioning has been installing, repairing and maintaining heating and cooling equipment since 2000, and as a second-generation, family-owned and operated company, we put the needs of our customers first. Maintenance is where that shows most, because it is not a single call but an ongoing relationship with the people who look after your equipment. We would rather you understand your heat pump than simply trust us about it, so every visit is explained in everyday language and leaves you with something in writing.
