How AirGreen Transformed a Wall-Mounted Heat Pump Through Expert Cleaning and Maintenance
Maintaining your HVAC system is essential to ensure it operates at peak efficiency, especially with the fluctuating weather we experience in Montreal. Recently, we at AirGreen had the pleasure of performing a detailed cleaning and maintenance service on a wall-mounted heat pump at a residence in Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. This wasn't just any routine job – it was an opportunity to breathe new life into an essential home appliance that had seen better days. Allow us to walk you through this fascinating project and why it’s crucial to keep your heat pump in tip-top condition.
The Importance of Regular Heat Pump Maintenance
When we arrived at the customer's home, it was evident that the heat pump had been doing its job well over the years but needed some much-needed care. Heat pumps, much like any other HVAC system, work tirelessly to regulate the temperature in your home, and over time, dust, dirt, and debris can build up within the system. This accumulation can affect the pump’s efficiency, increase energy consumption, and reduce the air quality in your home.
By scheduling regular maintenance and cleaning, homeowners can extend the lifespan of their heat pumps, reduce energy bills, and ensure optimal performance – even during those scorching summers and frigid winters.
Step-by-Step Overview of Our Cleaning Process
1. Thorough Inspection
The first step in any successful cleaning job is to conduct a comprehensive inspection. Our technicians examined the indoor unit for any visible signs of dirt accumulation, mold growth, or damage. We also checked the filters, coil, drain lines, and fans to ensure there were no underlying issues. This preliminary inspection helps us understand the severity of the dirt build-up and allows us to tailor our cleaning approach accordingly.
2. Deep Cleaning of the Indoor Unit
The indoor unit is where most of the dirt, dust, and allergens settle over time. Using specialized cleaning agents and tools, we carefully cleaned every inch of the unit. This included:
- Cleaning the filters: These are the first line of defense against dust and pollutants. We removed, washed, and sanitized them to ensure optimal airflow.
- Disinfecting the evaporator coils: The coils play a crucial role in cooling and heating your home. Dust and dirt reduce their efficiency, so we ensured they were thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
- Unclogging the drain lines: Over time, the drain lines can become clogged with debris, leading to potential water leakage. We made sure these were cleared out to prevent any future problems.
3. Exterior Unit Maintenance
Although the indoor unit gets most of the attention, the outdoor unit plays an equally important role. We cleared away any debris, leaves, and dirt that had accumulated around the unit, ensuring that airflow was unrestricted. This step is vital for maintaining energy efficiency and preventing future breakdowns.
The Difference We Made: A Clean, Efficient Heat Pump
After completing the cleaning process, the results spoke for themselves. The heat pump was operating more quietly, efficiently, and effectively than before. The air quality in the home improved, and the customer was thrilled with the newfound performance of their wall-mounted heat pump.

- Enhanced energy efficiency, leading to reduced electricity bills.

Fun Fact: Did You Know?
Regular maintenance of your heat pump can reduce energy consumption by up to 25%. That means more money in your pocket and a system that won’t let you down when you need it most.
Why Regular Maintenance Is a Wise Investment
One of the biggest misconceptions homeowners have is that their heat pump doesn't need regular cleaning unless there’s a problem. However, just like how we maintain our cars, HVAC systems require regular upkeep to perform efficiently.
By investing in a routine cleaning service, you’ll:
- Prevent unexpected breakdowns: Dirt and grime can cause your system to work harder, leading to potential malfunctions.
- Save on energy costs: A clean system operates more efficiently, which means lower energy bills.
- Improve your home’s comfort: With a well-maintained heat pump, you can enjoy consistent temperatures throughout your home, regardless of the weather outside.
How Can You Tell If Your Heat Pump Needs Cleaning?
Here are some telltale signs that your heat pump might be overdue for a cleaning:
- Increased energy bills: If your bills are creeping up without a change in usage, it might be time to clean your system.
- Unpleasant odors: Dust, mold, and bacteria build-up can cause a musty smell.
- Reduced airflow: If you notice that your heat pump isn’t delivering the same airflow it used to, dirt may be clogging the system.
