Discover the Real Impact of Regular Maintenance on Central Heat Pumps in Montréal and Surrounding Areas

At AirGreen, the question of whether annual maintenance for a central heat pump or a wall-mounted air conditioner is genuinely useful frequently arises among our clients in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, as well as on the North Shore and South Shore. Thanks to our extensive field experience and meticulous data collection from hundreds of HVAC installations, we can confidently state: yes, regular maintenance is crucial. Our figures clearly prove this.

The Crucial Importance of Annual HVAC Maintenance

For many homeowners, regular maintenance often seems like an extra expense. However, at AirGreen, we consistently observe that our clients who adopt a proactive approach achieve significant long-term benefits:

• Improved performance: a properly maintained heat pump uses significantly less energy.

• Increased lifespan: regular maintenance greatly reduces the risk of major breakdowns.

• Stable thermal comfort: fewer temperature fluctuations thanks to a perfectly tuned system.

Our Real Data on the Impact of Regular Maintenance

To prove the tangible effectiveness of maintenance, we compared two groups of clients in Montréal, Laval, and Longueuil: those consistently performing annual maintenance and those neglecting this service.

Measurable Energy Savings

According to our data collected over a 3-year period:

• Clients performing regular annual maintenance reduced their heating and cooling energy consumption by an average of 10% to 20%.

Noticeable Reduction in Unexpected Breakdowns

• Our records show a 60% reduction in emergency service calls for clients enrolled in an annual maintenance program.

• In Laval, a client using a Bosch IDS Premium central heat pump (36,000 BTU) experienced zero breakdowns over two years thanks to our regular annual servicing, despite previously suffering frequent disruptions.
