Exceptional HVAC Care for a Cleaner, Greener Home
At AirGreen, we take pride in delivering top-tier HVAC services across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore. Recently, we had the opportunity to provide our expertise in Pierrefonds-Roxboro with a thorough cleaning and maintenance service for a wall-mounted heat pump. This installation wasn’t just another routine job—our detailed care ensured that this customer's system performs optimally for years to come, proving once again why we're a leader in HVAC solutions.
The Importance of Mini Split Heat Pump Maintenance
Heat pumps are incredibly energy-efficient, offering homeowners the comfort of cool air in the summer and warmth in the winter without the hefty energy bills. However, like any home appliance, they need regular upkeep to keep functioning effectively.
This particular job focused on the cleaning, washing, and maintenance of a wall-mounted mini split heat pump. Over time, dust, debris, and even mold can build up within the system, affecting both its performance and the air quality in your home. In fact, a clogged filter can reduce the efficiency of your heat pump by up to 25%, leading to higher energy costs and even potential breakdowns.
Pierrefonds-Roxboro: A Residential Gem
Pierrefonds-Roxboro is known for its beautiful homes, parks, and a growing number of eco-conscious homeowners. This customer had invested in a Goodman wall-mounted heat pump a few years ago, drawn to its reputation for reliability and efficiency. Yet, like all heat pumps, it needed a little TLC to keep running smoothly. We were more than happy to provide our expert maintenance services.
The System: Goodman Wall-Mounted Heat Pump
The Goodman heat pump installed in this home is a model known for its sturdy construction and solid performance in the varying climates of Quebec. With a sleek design, this mini split offers quiet operation, making it ideal for residential spaces.
Here’s what makes this Goodman mini split stand out:
- Energy Efficiency: With an impressive SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating, this heat pump ensures low energy consumption without compromising on performance.
- Advanced Air Filtration: The built-in filters help remove airborne contaminants, improving indoor air quality—ideal for those with allergies or respiratory concerns.
- Quiet Operation: Thanks to its optimized design, the Goodman heat pump runs quietly, ensuring that the only thing you’ll notice is the perfect temperature in your home.
- Durable Design: Engineered to withstand the freezing winters and hot summers typical of the Montreal area, Goodman’s wall-mounted systems are a reliable choice for homeowners.
Our Thorough Cleaning Process
For this job, we executed a complete cleaning and maintenance service designed to extend the lifespan of the heat pump while boosting its efficiency. Here's a step-by-step look at how we approached this service:
1. Inspection
We began by thoroughly inspecting the system, checking the indoor unit for dust build-up, debris, and any potential signs of wear and tear. This initial inspection is crucial to identify problem areas and assess the overall condition of the unit.
2. Cleaning the Filters
One of the most common issues with any HVAC system is clogged or dirty filters. These can significantly impact performance and air quality. We carefully removed the air filters, thoroughly cleaned them to eliminate trapped dust, and ensured they were free of obstructions.
3. Coil Cleaning
The coils in a mini split system are essential for efficient heating and cooling. Over time, dirt and grime can collect on the evaporator and condenser coils, reducing the system's ability to transfer heat. We meticulously cleaned these coils, ensuring optimal performance.
4. Drain Line Maintenance
A clogged drain line can lead to leaks and water damage, so we flushed the system’s drain line to prevent any future issues. We also checked for any signs of mold or mildew, which can sometimes form in poorly maintained units.
5. Fan and Blower Wheel Cleaning
Next, we tackled the fan and blower wheel. These components can accumulate dust and grime over time, leading to noisy operation and inefficient airflow. By cleaning these parts, we ensured quieter operation and improved system efficiency.
6. Testing the System
After cleaning, we reassembled the unit and performed a full system test to ensure everything was working correctly. This step is essential to verify that the system is back to peak performance and ready to provide reliable heating and cooling.
The Result: Improved Performance and Cleaner Air
By the time we were done, the Goodman wall-mounted heat pump was in prime condition. Not only will it now run more efficiently, but the homeowner can also enjoy improved air quality. This kind of maintenance isn't just about extending the life of the machine; it also directly impacts the health and comfort of those living in the home.
With this service, our client can now expect:
- Lower Energy Bills: With the system running efficiently, energy consumption will be lower, saving the homeowner money.
- Better Air Quality: Clean filters and coils mean that the air circulated through the home will be fresher and free of dust or allergens.
- Reduced Noise: A clean system is a quiet system, so the homeowner will enjoy more peaceful operation.
- Longevity of the Unit: Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of any HVAC system, and this mini split is no exception.

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.
