How often do we need to clean our heat pumps?

Manufacturers recommend that you have your heat pump maintained/cleaned every 12-18 months. In our experience, the frequency of cleaning depends on factors that surround your heat pump.

Factors that lead to build up within your heat pump:

• Proximity of heat pump to kitchen or bathroom (humidity and grease leads to fast build up)

• The number of people and pets in your home (dander, hair, skin particles, etc. in the air leads to build up)

• Presence of smoke due to smoking or fireplace

• General cleanliness of your home (a clean, dust-free home with have less build up)

To see if your heat pump needs to be cleaned, open the lid and shine a flashlight in to inspect the coils and barrel. If you see white spots, dust build up, or mold, it's time to clean your heat pump.
