The short answer
$100–$250
One system, two jobs. The visit covers heating and cooling operation plus the defrost cycle, which is the part nobody else tests.

What moves the price
Both modes get tested
A heat pump that cools perfectly can still fail in January. Checking heating and cooling operation is two sets of readings, not one.
The defrost cycle
Most heat pump "it is broken" calls in winter are a defrost board or sensor. Testing that cycle on a maintenance visit is what prevents the 6am call.
Backup heat
Electric backup strips get checked so you are not silently heating the house on the expensive setting all winter.
Once or twice a year
A heat pump runs year-round, so twice-yearly service is common. Two visits cost more up front and catch far more.
It heats and cools. Service it like it does.
A heat pump works twice as many months as a furnace. Book the visit — exact price upfront.

Quick answers
Why does it cost more than a furnace tune-up?
Because it is two machines in one. Heating operation, cooling operation and the defrost cycle each need their own readings, and the outdoor unit runs all year instead of four months.
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Once a year at minimum, twice if you want the cooling side checked separately. Systems that run year-round wear year-round.
My heat pump steams and ices up in winter. Is that a maintenance problem?
Usually not — that is the normal defrost cycle. It becomes a problem when the unit stays encased in ice, which is exactly what a maintenance visit tests for.
