Why does your heat pump or furnace need annual maintenance?
A heat pump heats your home in winter and cools it in summer, so it runs almost all year. An annual maintenance visit keeps it clean, checks that it's working the way it should, and catches small problems before they turn into repairs. Most major manufacturers recommend yearly maintenance for heat pumps, furnaces and air conditioners.
We maintain systems in homes from Victoria and the Westshore to the Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo and Qualicum Beach. Book a one-time visit, or get it included every year with Sasquatch Club.

Inspect
Wiring, connections and the control box are inspected. Venting and ductwork are checked.
Measure
Voltage, amperage and airflow are measured, and your technician listens for anything unusual.

HVAC maintenance questions
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Once a year. Most major manufacturers recommend yearly maintenance. Heat pumps especially benefit, because the same system heats and cools your home all year.
When is the best time to book maintenance?
Any time of year works. Booking before the heating or cooling season gives you time to fix anything we find before you rely on the system most.
What's the difference between a one-time visit and Sasquatch Club?
A one-time visit covers that year's maintenance. With Sasquatch Club, your maintenance is included every year, and you also get member pricing on repairs, discounted or waived diagnostics, and booking priority. See the tiers.
What if you find a problem during the visit?
Your technician explains what they found and gives you a written quote for the repair. There's no pressure to fix it on the spot. Book it whenever you're ready.
My system isn't working. Do I need maintenance or a repair?
If something is clearly wrong, like no heat, no cooling, strange noises, error codes or leaks, book a repair visit instead. Not sure? Text or call and we'll help you decide.
