Essential maintenance for lasting performance
At AirGreen , we believe that a well-maintained HVAC system is the key to consistent comfort and optimal energy efficiency. Recently, our team traveled to Sainte-Dorothée, Laval , to perform a complete cleaning of a Goodman central heat pump installed outside a residence. This service perfectly illustrates the importance of regular preventative maintenance, especially before periods of high usage.
Signs that cleaning is needed
Over time, outdoor heat pump units are exposed to dust, pollen, debris, and moisture. In this case, the customer had noticed:
-
a noticeable drop in heating and air conditioning performance ;
-
louder than usual operating noise ;
-
and a slight increase in energy consumption .
A quick inspection by our technician confirmed that the heat exchanger fins were clogged , significantly reducing heat transfer between the outside air and the refrigerant. Without intervention, this buildup could have caused the compressor to overheat and prematurely wear out the components.
The AirGreen cleaning process
Our team undertook a complete cleaning of the Goodman central heat pump, following the rigorous steps recommended by the manufacturer and in accordance with best practices:
-
Power supply cut-off to ensure complete safety.
-
Removal of the protective grille and cleaning of the fan, which is often subject to the accumulation of dust and greasy dirt.
-
Cleaning of the fins and heat exchanger using a biodegradable and non-corrosive product, applied with a low-pressure sprayer.
-
Thoroughly rinse with clean water to remove all traces of chemical residue, taking care not to bend the fragile fins.
-
Inspection of the condensation drain , wiring and electrical connections.
-
Airflow check and system test after complete drying.
The entire operation was carried out carefully, ensuring both the cleanliness of the equipment and the safety of the residential site.
Immediate and measurable results
Following our intervention, the client noticed a significant improvement in airflow and a much quieter operation of the unit. Thanks to the complete restoration of heat transfer, the heat pump now operates with increased efficiency , resulting in:
-
a reduction in energy consumption ,
-
a more stable interior comfort ,
-
and an extended compressor lifespan .
These benefits demonstrate the tangible impact of professional cleaning performed by HVAC specialists.
