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.

Under One Roof

A Program Born From Generosity

The Exterior Company is committed to being a positive force in communities throughout the East Coast, and take great pride in giving back. Join us in our launch of the Under One Roof initiative: every year, for every 1,000 roofs we install, we’ll give away a brand new roof to a well-deserving homeowner. This program will be by nomination, where community members can play an active role in choosing the lucky recipient. Our goal is to make sure that your business goes beyond our company and contributes to meaningful causes in your community.

When we launch nominations, anyone can nominate a deserving candidate using the nomination form located on our website.

step 2

Selecting a Deserving Candidate

2022 Recipient: Chris Wenden & Family

The Exterior Company is pleased to announce the second recipient of a new roof through the Under One Roof initiative – The Wenden Family. Chris, an Australian native, and his wife, Michelle who is originally from Lancaster, have called this area home since 2008. Their roof survived the Hempfield Tornado of 2011 and a few other nasty storms but sustained damage. Due to some unforeseen circumstances with Chris’ health, their roof fell down the priority list – making them a perfect candidate for a new roof.
