Improve your air quality and reduce your bills with regular maintenance
At AirGreen, we know that good HVAC maintenance isn’t just about prolonging the lifespan of your equipment. Cleaning your heat pump – whether it’s a wall-mounted unit, a central system, or ducted – is one of the most effective ways to improve indoor air quality, protect your health, optimize energy consumption, and ensure reliable performance year-round. In the Greater Montréal Area, including Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and South Shore, far too many homeowners still overlook this essential step. Here are 7 real and often underestimated benefits of having your heat pump professionally cleaned by our specialized team.
1. Better indoor air quality for the whole family
One of the most immediate and noticeable benefits of cleaning your heat pump is improved indoor air quality. Over time, dust, allergens, mold spores, and other particles build up on the coils, filters, and fans.
At AirGreen, we perform deep cleanings, including high-pressure washing of the indoor coil, thorough dust removal from the fan (blower), and complete disinfection with biodegradable products. This process helps reduce the risk of respiratory issues, asthma, and allergies—especially in homes with children or elderly residents.
2. Substantial savings on your electricity bill
A dirty heat pump has to work much harder to heat or cool your space, which increases energy consumption. Just a thin layer of dirt on the heat exchanger can reduce unit efficiency by up to 20%.
We’ve seen several clients in Montréal and Laval experience an immediate drop in their energy bills after a full cleaning. That’s consistent and long-term financial savings, especially during peak heating or cooling seasons.
3. Extended lifespan of your equipment
Professional routine maintenance prevents premature wear and tear on mechanical and electronic components. Dirt and moisture lead to corrosion, especially on wall-mounted units installed higher up, where humidity tends to linger.
Our AirGreen technicians, trained to service all major brands (Daikin, Fujitsu, Gree, Bosch, Goodman, Lennox, Trane, etc.), also clean drainage pans, temperature sensors, and ensure the system is functioning properly as a whole.
4. Less noise and vibration
Over time, built-up dirt can unbalance the fan and cause vibrations or strange noises. Some customers have called us about a “malfunction” that turned out to be nothing more than a dirty fan causing friction.
A full HVAC cleaning eliminates these sources of noise and restores the acoustic comfort of your home.
5. Avoid costly breakdowns
Preventive maintenance dramatically reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns. A neglected heat pump is prone to recurring problems: ice buildup, poor airflow, error codes, etc.
In a residential building in Longueuil, we recently cleaned a 24,000 BTU central heat pump (Zephyr brand) that was shutting down intermittently. After a complete cleaning, the unit returned to full heating capacity – no part replacement needed.
6. Added value for your property
A well-maintained HVAC system is a real asset when selling or during a home inspection. More and more buyers are demanding maintenance and cleaning records for heat pumps. At AirGreen, we provide a detailed maintenance report, useful for any resale or warranty file.
7. Eligibility for HVAC maintenance grants
Did you know that some municipal and provincial programs support preventive HVAC maintenance? In some cases, a cleaning performed by a certified professional can make you eligible for grants or energy credits, especially in cities like Repentigny, Brossard, or Terrebonne.

When should you clean your heat pump?
We recommend cleaning your heat pump at least once a year, ideally in the spring (before cooling season) or in the fall (before heating season). Homes with pets, recent renovations, or high humidity levels should consider two cleanings per year.
Client testimonial: a happy Laval family
Mrs. Tremblay, a resident of Chomedey (Laval), had noticed a musty smell coming from her 18,000 BTU Gree Lomo wall-mounted air conditioner. After our full cleaning service, she called us back to say: “The air is so much fresher, I don’t cough at night anymore. I wish I had done this sooner.”
