Heat pump cleaning,inside and out.

A clean pump is efficient, lasts longer and keeps your air healthier. We take it apart and clean the coil, barrel fan and drain tray properly.

What’s included

Done properly, start to finish

With a dirty evaporator coil your system works harder than it needs to, and a barrel fan caked with dust moves less air and heats unevenly. A proper cleaning fixes both, and keeps mold and bacteria out of the air you breathe.

  • Cover and filters removed and washed
  • Evaporator coil cleaned and sanitized
  • Barrel fan cleaned
  • Drain tray and line cleared and sanitized
  • Outdoor unit checked
  • Everything tested before we leave

Heat pump cleaning

Here’s what’s hiding in yours

Costs less to run

Grime on the coil and barrel fan makes the system work harder. Clean, it moves heat evenly on less power.

Lasts longer

A dirty unit wears out faster and can fail, from broken-down compressor oil to acid burnout.

Healthier air

The warm, damp inside of a heat pump grows mold and bacteria. We clean and sanitize it.

FAQ

Good questions

Straight answers. Call 902 317 5044 if yours isn’t here.

How often should my heat pump be cleaned?

At least once a year. Homes with pets or allergies may want it more often.

Will it make a mess?

No. We use a cleaning bag that catches the water and grime, and we clean up before we leave.

Do you clean air exchangers too?

Yes. See air exchangers.

Why it matters

Who installs it decides your warranty

Lots of people install heat pumps around here without any papers. Many manufacturers only honour their warranty when the system goes in by a qualified technician, so a cheap install can cost you a lot more later.

We hold the Red Seal for heating, refrigeration and air conditioning, the national standard for the trade. Your system is sized, installed and handled the way the manufacturer requires.
