The Art and Science of Heat Pump Maintenance
In the bustling heart of Montreal, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the beat of life, AirGreen, a leader in HVAC services, has recently showcased its mastery in the care and maintenance of wall-mounted heat pumps. This article dives deep into our latest project: a thorough washing and cleaning of a wall-mounted heat pump, demonstrating not only our unwavering commitment to excellence but also our innovative approach to HVAC maintenance.
Why Clean Your Wall-Mounted Heat Pump?
The importance of regular cleaning and maintenance for wall-mounted heat pumps cannot be overstated. Dust, pollen, and other airborne particles accumulate over time, impairing not only the efficiency but also the lifespan of your unit. A clean heat pump operates more efficiently, ensuring a comfortable home environment and lower energy bills.
Our Approach to Excellence
Before the Transformation:
Our journey began with a client’s request to breathe new life into their heat pump. Upon inspection, the unit, while functional, was coated in a layer of grime and dust—a testament to its hard work and the need for a thorough cleaning.
The Cleaning Process:
Armed with specialized tools and a deep understanding of the intricate architecture of wall-mounted heat pumps, our team embarked on a meticulous cleaning process. Every component, from the filters to the coils and the drainage system, received our undivided attention. Our method is not just about aesthetics; it's about restoring efficiency and extending the unit's life.
- Dust and Debris Removal: We began by gently removing the outer layers of dust and debris, preparing the unit for a more detailed cleaning.
- Coil Cleaning: Using environmentally friendly solutions, we carefully cleaned the coils, ensuring optimal heat exchange and performance.
- Filter Washing: Filters were meticulously washed, removing any particles that could impair air quality and flow.
- System Check-Up: Post-cleaning, a comprehensive check-up was conducted to ensure every part of the heat pump was in prime working condition.
After the Magic:
The result was nothing short of remarkable. The heat pump, once a collector of dust, now stands as a testament to efficiency and cleanliness. It's not just about the visible transformation but the peace of mind that comes with knowing your heat pump is operating at its best.

What we check on a job like this one
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.
Good habits, once the unit is in place
Six simple habits that keep the unit going. Your list stays on this device.
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
The right pages, at the right time
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
