Excel Climatisation has been the expert when it comes to heat pumps for more than 25 years, in addition to offering courteous, professional maintenance and repair services.
Why maintain your heat pump?
Repairing a wall-mounted heat pump or central heat pump is more expensive than maintaining it. In order to extend its lifespan, it is appropriate to clean not only the air filters, but also the indoor and outdoor ducts of the device. Several elements make up this system, including the ventilation ducts, the control box, the indoor coil, the fan, etc.
4 clues to understand that your heat pump needs maintenance
- The appearance of mould
- Excessive heat or humidity
- The buildup of dust, dead leaves and ice in the outdoor unit
- Water leaking onto the indoor wall-mounted unit (valid for wall-mounted heat pumps only)
Cleaning your air filters
For optimal operation, it is appropriate to carry out regular maintenance of all the components. For cleaning the disposable filters, it is advisable to do it monthly. It can be done very simply, using a mild detergent and a garden hose. Regular cleaning of your filters will be beneficial for the lifespan of your system.
This simple action can work wonders, such as ensuring the proper operation of the device over the long term, as well as achieving energy savings. Cleaning the filters also ensures that you eliminate contaminants and thus enjoy better air quality.
Cleaning the indoor and outdoor unit
While the filters are fairly easy and safe to clean yourself, cleaning the indoor and outdoor unit requires the help of a professional. In order to ensure a complete and effective maintenance, it is important to entrust the task to specialists. These units are connected to the electrical circuit and could therefore pose a danger.
How much does maintenance cost?
From a budget standpoint, calling on a professional brings many benefits. Investing in maintenance is much less expensive than repairs and replacements.
