The cost of maintaining a wall-mounted heat pump is often overlooked when purchasing the unit. Yet, a proper annual maintenance can make all the difference between a unit that lasts 5 years and another that runs efficiently for over 15 years. At AirGreen, we carry out hundreds of wall-mounted heat pump maintenance calls in Laval every year, and we’ve gathered valuable real-life data that now allows us to answer this question clearly, in detail, and—most importantly—usefully for you.
Why is maintaining a wall-mounted heat pump so important?
A wall-mounted heat pump is a sophisticated system that regulates indoor temperature all year round. It operates in cooling mode during the summer and heating mode during the winter. This dual function increases the wear and tear on internal components, which makes HVAC maintenance not just recommended, but essential.
Regular maintenance allows you to:
-
Maintain optimal energy efficiency (avoids 15–25% energy overconsumption)
-
Extend the lifespan of the unit
-
Prevent costly breakdowns
-
Improve indoor air quality by removing accumulated mold, dust, and bacteria
What is the actual average price of annual maintenance in Laval?
At AirGreen, our pricing is transparent, competitive, and above all adapted to the real needs of Laval residents. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the costs:
Basic maintenance (single-zone wall-mounted heat pump): between $149 and $189 + tax
This service includes:
-
Complete cleaning of the filters
-
Inspection of the evaporator coil
-
Inspection of the fan
-
Cleaning of the outdoor condenser
-
Inspection of electrical connections
-
Refrigerant pressure check (no recharging)
-
Performance test in both heating and cooling modes
Deep cleaning with high-pressure steam: between $220 and $280 + tax
Recommended every 2 to 3 years, this service deeply removes embedded dirt that can’t be seen with the naked eye, especially in:
-
The indoor evaporator
-
The condensate pan
-
The fan blades
-
Hard-to-reach corners
This deep cleaning boosts the system’s efficiency by over 20% on average, especially for units used daily.
Maintenance for multi-zone systems (2 to 4 indoor heads): starting from $260 + tax
The rate varies based on the number of indoor heads to be maintained. Each indoor unit is inspected and cleaned individually. The outdoor condenser is also treated thoroughly.
What grants or tax credits are available in Laval?
Currently, no government programs offer direct subsidies for heat pump maintenance. However, many rebate programs (such as Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert) require proof of regular maintenance when applying for a grant for a new unit. Regular maintenance may therefore speed up your application approval in the future.
Real Case: Annual maintenance of a Gree Lomo wall-mounted heat pump in Laval (Chomedey area)
One of our clients, owner of a 12,000 BTU Gree Lomo model installed in 2020 in a single-family home in Chomedey, contacted us for their annual maintenance. The unit was still functioning but had started to emit a musty odor.
Our diagnosis:
-
Slight mold buildup in the condensate pan
-
Partially blocked filters
-
Outdoor condenser clogged with leaf debris
Service performed:
-
Full steam cleaning
-
Application of antibacterial treatment
-
Airflow adjustment
-
Personalized advice on filter cleaning frequency
Total cost of the service: $235 + tax
The client immediately noticed a reduction in electricity usage in heating mode, along with improved indoor comfort.
Recommended frequency: how often should you maintain your wall-mounted heat pump?
We recommend maintenance:
-
Once a year for residential units used year-round (heating and cooling)
-
Every 18 months for units mostly used in summer
-
Every 2 years for cottages or secondary properties
What you can do yourself between professional maintenance visits
-
Clean air filters every 2 to 4 weeks
-
Make sure the outdoor condenser stays clear of debris
-
Avoid dust buildup around the indoor unit
But be careful: surface cleaning can never replace a full professional maintenance, especially when it comes to internal components.
