Heat Pump Cleaning

Did you know that your heat pump needs cleaning and servicing every year? It goes beyond just cleaning the filter. Blocked coils can reduce efficiency by up to 25%. Cleaning Co will thoroughly clean both the inside and outside unit of your heat pump/air conditioner to increase both the life span and performance of your heat pump.

Do asthma or other respiratory problems trouble your family? Do you have pets? It is important to keep the air in your home and workplace clean.

A professionally cleaned heat pump can save you money, improve your air quality, and remove bad smells and annoying noises.

COILS
Heat pump/air conditioning systems have two coils, usually made of copper tubes with aluminium fins. The evaporator coil is known as the indoor coil. The condenser coil is known as the outdoor coil.
As the air moving over the coils contains dust, pollen, moisture and other contaminants, the coils get dirty and become less efficient.
In addition, the evaporator coil and its condensate pan can become fouled with pollen, mould spores and other biocontaminants.
The moisture around the evaporator coil can become a breeding ground for bacteria, fungi and mould.
The growth of these organisms can affect your air quality and create odours.

DIRTY COILS WASTE ENERGY AND COST MONEY
A coil fouled with dirt and grime cannot provide proper heat transfer resulting in a reduction in the system’s operating capacity.
Equipment operating with dirty coils can use more energy than those with clean coils.
Dirty coils increase operating pressures and temperatures that break down the compressor’s lubricant and can result in equipment failure. A failed compressor means no heating or cooling and costly repair!

HEAT PUMP CLEANING FREQUENCY
A heat pump cleaning program should be instituted when the coils are new and should be performed frequently to prevent deterioration of the coils and damage to the compressor.
A thorough heat pump clean should be done once a year. The filter should be cleaned every one or two months.
Maintenance is a key driver of efficient heat pump performance.
