A Deep Clean That Made All the Difference
At AirGreen, we understand the importance of regular maintenance and deep cleaning of HVAC units, especially when it comes to wall-mounted heat pumps. Recently, we had the pleasure of serving a homeowner in La Prairie who called us in for a comprehensive cleaning and maintenance job on their trusty wall-mounted heat pump. As the seasons change, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency becomes a priority, and this installation story stands as a testament to how dedicated cleaning can bring a system back to life.
The Arrival and Initial Assessment
Upon arriving at the residence in La Prairie, our skilled team was greeted by a pleasant homeowner who had noticed a decline in the performance of their wall-mounted unit. The once whisper-quiet, efficient cooling system had become noisy and less effective. With summer humidity still lingering, they needed their heat pump working at full capacity.
The moment we approached the unit, it was clear that a significant buildup of dust, grime, and even mildew had formed over the months. This was a classic case of a machine craving professional attention. Dirt and debris can severely impact performance, airflow, and even the longevity of these units. Our team got right to work, prepared to give this unit the cleaning it desperately needed.
The Deep Cleaning Process
What goes into a deep cleaning of a wall-mounted heat pump? Many homeowners underestimate the meticulous work required to restore these units. Here's a breakdown of our thorough approach:
-
Disassembly: We carefully took apart the outer casing of the unit, exposing the internal components that are often the most neglected. Fans, coils, and drainage systems were meticulously examined for blockages or contamination.
-
Evaporator Coil Cleaning: The evaporator coil is the heart of the cooling system. A dirty coil can significantly impact heat absorption, leading to inefficiency. We used specialized cleaning agents to eliminate accumulated dirt, ensuring the coil could breathe and function properly.
-
Drainage System Flush: One major issue with wall-mounted heat pumps is the risk of water damage from clogged drainage systems. After inspecting the drain line, we flushed it with care, removing any blockages to prevent overflow and leaks.
-
Filter Maintenance: The filters were removed, cleaned, and sanitized. Filters are the first line of defense against pollutants, so ensuring they're spotless is crucial for maintaining healthy indoor air quality.
-
Outer Casing and Grille Cleaning: We don't stop at just the functional parts. A well-maintained outer shell ensures not only aesthetic appeal but also proper air circulation.
Verifying Freon Levels and System Performance
Beyond the physical cleaning, we knew that ensuring optimal refrigerant levels was key. Low or unbalanced Freon can lead to diminished cooling capabilities and higher energy bills. Using precise equipment, we measured the refrigerant levels, adjusted as necessary, and tested the entire system under different operating modes. The homeowner was particularly interested in this step, as they had concerns about efficiency.
The Results: A Happy Customer and a Happy Heat Pump
After hours of detailed work, the difference was nothing short of spectacular. The heat pump was sparkling clean, the air it pushed out was fresh, and the efficiency was notably improved. As we reassembled the unit and did a final performance test, it was clear that the machine had been transformed. The homeowner couldn't believe how quiet and effective their heat pump had become.
They were thrilled, not just with the outcome but with our commitment to cleanliness and professionalism. We left the area spotless, ensuring no dust or debris lingered around the workspace.
