How often do I actually need my heat pump system tuned up? (lemmy.today)

I had a heat pump installed about a year ago. It came with one free service and the installing company has been calling me almost every week to come out and do the complimentary tune up. I know that I obviously should take a free tune up, but it made me wonder. How often do I actually need this done? What are they actually "tuning up"?

Do they work well as an A/C replacement?

Yes..just don't turn the stat to heat OR don't hook up the reversing valve.

Heat pump and AC are literally identical machines with maybe 2 components being actually different. There's honestly no reason AC only even exists.
