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.
