What a Fall Heat Pump Tune-Up Includes
Tested in Heat Mode
A fall heat pump tune-up from Right Away Heating and Air tests the system in heating mode, because a heat pump that cools fine in summer can still fail at heating.
| Heat Pump Tune-Up Step | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Heating-mode refrigerant check | Catches charge problems cooling mode hides |
| Defrost cycle test | Prevents an outdoor unit that ices solid |
| Reversing valve check | Makes sure it switches into heat |
| Capacitor and contactor test | Prevents no-start calls on cold mornings |
| Outdoor coil and fan check | Keeps heat moving into the house |
| Heat strip amp draw and sequencers | Confirms backup heat works |
| Thermostat aux heat settings | Stops strips from running too often |
| Temperature rise and airflow | Confirms warm air at the vents |
| Filter and drain | Keeps the system breathing |

Is Heating Maintenance Worth It in the Lowcountry?
Yes, Even With Mild Winters
Heating maintenance is worth it in the Lowcountry because most homes heat with heat pumps that run all year, and the first cold night is when weak parts fail. American Standard also requires regular maintenance to keep warranties in good standing.
| Without a Fall Tune-Up | With a Fall Tune-Up |
|---|---|
| Heat strips run more than they should | Aux heat settings checked |
| Defrost board fails on a cold night | Defrost tested in October |
| Furnace won't stay lit | Flame sensor cleaned |
| Carbon monoxide risk goes unchecked | CO and flue checked |
| Warranty claims can be questioned | Service records back your warranty |
When Should You Schedule Heating Maintenance?
Schedule heating maintenance in September, October or early November, before the first cold snap.
- Earlier bookings mean faster scheduling.
- Repairs found in fall can be done before you need heat.
- Comfort Club members get reminded automatically.

Heat Pump Thermostat Settings That Save Money
Keep Strips Off
Heat pump thermostat settings make a big difference in your winter bill. The goal is to let the heat pump do the work and keep the heat strips for the coldest moments.
- Use HEAT, not EM HEAT, unless the heat pump has failed.
- Keep setbacks small, 2 to 3 degrees at night.
- Raise the temperature slowly in the morning.
- Set the aux heat lockout so strips stay off on mild days.
- Use a heat pump compatible thermostat with staging.
