How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If you use your heat pump for heating and cooling, you should service it twice annually, in the fall and the spring.

What is the life span of a heat pump?

The average life span of a heat pump is 10-15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round to heat and cool your home, they don’t always last as long as a typical heating or cooling system. However, you can extend the life span by ensuring that your unit is routinely maintained by an HVAC professional.

Community Involvement | Edwin Stipe HVAC & Plumbing

Comfort is bigger than equipment

Our team spends every day in Lehigh Valley homes, so we see what our neighbors
need. Being part of the Lehigh Valley means more than doing good work inside
people’s homes. It means showing up for the community we share.

Neighbors

Helping the people next door

We look for ways to lend a hand to families and neighbors in the Lehigh Valley,
especially when times are hard.

Local causes

Supporting local organizations

We care about the schools, charities and community groups that make
the Lehigh Valley a good place to live.

Our team

Neighbors ourselves

Our employees live and work here too, and we encourage them to give
their time to the causes they care about.

Community

Giving back in the Lehigh Valley

Edwin Stipe is part of the community we serve, and we want to be a good
neighbor to it. That means doing honest work, treating every home with
care, and looking for ways to give back beyond the job.

If you know of a local cause, school or neighbor in the Lehigh Valley that
could use support, we would like to hear about it.

Feel the Love · 2025

A brand-new HVAC system, on us

Feel the Love is a Lennox program that has run since 2009. Communities
nominate people who give back to the neighborhoods around them, often
teachers, first responders, healthcare workers and families going
through a hard stretch, and Lennox dealers donate and install a
complete heating and cooling system for them at no cost.

In 2025 our crew took on a home here in the Lehigh Valley. We
pulled out a failing system, installed a new Lennox furnace and air
conditioner, and handed the homeowner back a house that could keep up
with the summer heat. Equipment, labor, everything, on us.

HOPE Kits · 2025

Packing comfort by the boxful

Every October, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our office trades
desks for folding tables and packs HOPE Kits with the National Breast
Cancer Foundation, a national nonprofit. The kits go to women who have just been
diagnosed or are in the middle of treatment.

Each one holds small, practical comforts: fuzzy socks, an inspirational
bracelet, a HOPE journal and more. Our team packs and ships them by the
tableful, and every box is filled by hand.
