A high-performance heat pump refurbished after a complete cleaning
At AirGreen , we recently performed a complete cleaning of a Daikin wall-mounted heat pump in Boucherville , on Montreal's South Shore. The client had contacted us after noticing a decrease in cooling performance and unusual noise coming from the outdoor unit.
Before our intervention: accumulated dirt and traces of deposits on the casing
During our initial inspection, the Daikin heat pump showed an accumulation of organic deposits and dust on the cover and fins. Prolonged contact with moisture had formed a slightly greasy film, reducing the unit's heat exchange capacity. Condensate drainage was also slowed by light deposits.
The observed symptoms:
-
Reduced efficiency of the air conditioning mode.
-
Irregular air noise coming from the outside fan.
-
Visible accumulation of dust and residue on the fins.
-
Traces of water runoff mixed with residue on the bodywork.
AirGreen intervention: a thorough and eco-friendly wash
Our certified technicians undertook a thorough cleaning , while respecting safety standards and the recommendations of the manufacturer Daikin :
-
Power outage and complete inspection of the enclosure, wiring and conduits.
-
Application of a biodegradable detergent to dissolve dust deposits and greasy residues on the condenser fins.
-
Rinse gently with clean water using a low-pressure sprayer to preserve the geometry of the fins.
-
Cleaning the external fan , allowing the removal of thin layers of dirt that could cause an imbalance.
-
Checking the condensation drain and performing preventative cleaning of the outlet.
-
Complete drying before restarting to prevent any moisture from seeping into the electrical components.
After cleaning: efficiency and quietness restored
Once the cleaning was complete, the heat pump immediately regained its original efficiency . The customer noted:
-
Fresher and more consistent air inside.
-
Noise reduction in air conditioning mode.
-
Reduced cooling time and more stable energy consumption .
We also advised the client to schedule annual maintenance to prevent any future buildup and extend the compressor's lifespan.
