Heat Pump Maintenance in Surprise, AZ
A heat pump that heats and cools works almost every month of the year here. Two short visits, one in spring and one in fall, keep it efficient and catch worn parts before they leave you without heat or air.
The short answer
Pro Solutions Air services heat pumps near you in Surprise, Sun City West and the West Valley. Because a heat pump heats and cools, we recommend two visits a year: a cooling check in spring and a heating check in fall. Maintenance plans start at $120 a year. Book online any time or call or text 24/7.

Time for a visit?
Signs your heat pump is due
It’s been a year or more
If you can’t remember the last tune-up, it’s due. Twice a year is the target here.
Bills are creeping up
A dusty coil, weak capacitor or low refrigerant makes the system run longer for the same comfort.
Longer run times
If it takes noticeably longer to cool down in summer or warm up in winter, something is slipping.
A dusty outdoor unit
After monsoon season, fins packed with dirt can’t move heat well in either mode.
The Arizona angle
Built for a climate with no off-season
Back East, a heat pump might rest for weeks between seasons. In the West Valley it cools through months of triple-digit heat and then switches to heating when nights drop into the 30s and 40s. That steady workload is why we recommend a visit before each season instead of once a year.
Monsoon dust storms coat the outdoor coil and clog filters fast, and summer heat wears down capacitors and contactors. A spring visit catches those before July. The fall visit tests the defrost cycle and heat strips, parts that sit idle for most of the year and tend to fail on the first cold night.

Common questions
Heat pump maintenance questions
How often should a heat pump be serviced in Arizona?
Twice a year. A heat pump cools for most of the year and heats in winter, so we recommend a cooling check in spring before the heat arrives and a heating check in October or November before the first cold nights.
What’s included in a heat pump tune-up?
In spring we focus on cooling: thermostat, capacitors, contactor, electrical connections, refrigerant pressures, coils, condensate drain and airflow. In fall we test the heating side: heat strips and sequencer, defrost cycle, reversing valve and refrigerant operation. Every visit includes a filter check.
How much does heat pump maintenance cost?
Our annual maintenance plans start at $120 a year and put both tune-ups on the calendar, with priority service and member savings. Call (844) 943-6498 for current single tune-up pricing.
Who services heat pumps near me in Surprise?
Pro Solutions Air, a family-owned company based in Surprise since 2011. We maintain heat pumps across Surprise, Sun City West, Sun City, Peoria, El Mirage, Glendale and the West Valley. Book online any time or call or text 24/7.
Does regular maintenance protect my warranty?
It helps. Many manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep warranty coverage, and our 15-year parts and labor warranty on qualifying new systems requires annual maintenance to factory specifications.
What can I do myself between visits?
Keep the filter clean (or ask about our once-a-year upgraded and elite filters), keep plants and gravel a couple of feet away from the outdoor unit, and gently rinse the coil with a garden hose after a dust storm. Never use a pressure washer, and leave electrical and refrigerant work to a technician.
Do you maintain mini-split heat pumps?
Yes. We service ducted heat pumps, heat pump package units and mini-split heat pumps from all major brands.
Is it normal for my heat pump to blow cool air for a few minutes in winter?
Yes. In heat mode the outdoor coil can frost up, and the system briefly runs a defrost cycle to clear it. If cool air continues for more than a few minutes, call us.
Keep your heat pump ready for both seasons.
