A heat pump is the one piece of HVAC equipment in Oklahoma that never sits idle. The same outdoor unit that ran through August is what pulls heat into the house in January, so it carries the runtime of both seasons, and there is no dormant month in which a developing problem stays harmless. That is why maintenance on a heat pump is scheduled twice, once before cooling and once before heating, rather than once a year. The federal minimum for a new split heat pump is 7.5 HSPF2, and the defrost cycle, the reversing valve and airflow are what keep an installed system near the rating it was sold at. Hail matters here too: the season starts in early March and peaks in April and May, and bent condenser fins or a damaged line set can bleed refrigerant slowly enough that nobody connects the storm to the symptom months later. Trinity has no flat tune-up fee. Visits are billed as the $95 service call plus labor at $125 an hour in business hours, one hour minimum and parts. The twice-yearly pattern a heat pump actually needs is what the $299 a year Service Agreement covers, at $50 more per year for a second unit.

March to April, before the first sustained hot stretch6 of 8 are Oklahoma-specific
Book before the first 95-degree week rather than during it. Once the heat arrives everyone calls at once, and a system that would have been a scheduled tune-up becomes an emergency call at emergency rates. Spring is also the first chance to see what winter and early hail season did to the outdoor unit.
Condenser coil cleanedOklahoma
Red-dirt dust packs into condenser fins faster here than in most climates, and a loaded coil makes the compressor work against pressure it was never sized for.
Condenser fins and line set checked for hail damageOklahoma
Oklahoma hail season starts in early March and peaks April to May. Bent fins and damaged line sets are a common cause of slow refrigerant loss that homeowners never connect to a storm months earlier — and it is often claimable on a homeowner's policy.
Refrigerant charge and airflow verified
A low charge means a leak, not consumption. Refrigerant is a sealed loop, so topping off without finding the leak means paying again next season.
Capacitor tested under loadOklahoma
Capacitors are heat-rated, and Oklahoma summers run them past their comfortable operating temperature for months. This is the single most common no-cool failure we see between June and September.
Contactor inspected for pitting and pestsOklahoma
Fire ants nest in the warm contactor housing and bridge the contacts. Along with red dust on the contact faces, it is a leading local cause of a dead outdoor unit.
Blower wheel and filter checkedOklahoma
A restricted filter is the cheapest cause of an expensive failure, and blower wheels load with fine dust faster here than the schedule on the filter box assumes.
Condensate drain clearedOklahoma
Attic and closet air handlers are the norm in Central Oklahoma rather than basements, so a blocked drain damages ceilings rather than a concrete floor.
Electrical connections tightened and thermostat verified
Loose connections cause heat, and heat causes the next failure.
A tune-up is scheduled work on a system that is still running. A diagnostic on a system that has already quit is a separate $95 service call, waived if you approve the repair that same visit. Call 405-420-4895 to book.
