Why should I have my heat pump serviced?

All air conditioning units and heat pumps need regular servicing and maintenance to ensure they last and remain efficient. One Air is committed to helping you enjoy the benefits of the comfortable, healthier, and dryer lifestyle that a heat pump will bring you.

 

Looking after your heat pump will ensure that it is performing at its best, and will extend its lifespan. Regular servicing will prevent build up of dirt, windfall and airborne particles on the outdoor coil, which will reduce running costs. 

 

All outdoor units start to oxidize and form rust on the inside of the exterior body due to the hundreds of litres of air pulled through the unit annually. Dirt, windfall and grass clipping will find their way into the sump of the exterior unit and turn to sludge, which if left, can start to rust.

 

The indoor coil requires cleaning to remove dust mites, dander and allergens that have gone past the pre filters; otherwise they can form a pulp like product which can cause loss of performance, icing up and leakage. The pre filters coil and chasse all need to be cleaned and desensitized, to help them avoid attracting any airborne particles, including cooking fats and odours.

 

It is in your best interests to have your heat pump serviced every 12 months for optimal performance, but you may want to do this more frequently in some circumstances such as if you have a long haired pet.
