Heat pump maintenance

Good maintenance is first and foremost about keeping the heat pump clean and free of obstructions. When the filters, indoor unit and outdoor unit get good airflow, the heat pump can work better. That can contribute to more even heat, better comfort and lower strain on the system.

As an owner you can do some simple maintenance yourself. Clean the filters regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Also make sure furniture, curtains or other things do not block the airflow from the indoor unit. The outdoor unit should be kept free of leaves, snow, ice and anything else that can block air in and out.

Pay attention to changes. If the heat pump makes unusual noise, heats less than before, water runs where it should not, or you experience icing and operating problems, you should contact professionals. Small signs can be the start of bigger faults. Early help can often make troubleshooting easier.

Service of your heat pump

A service is a more thorough review of the heat pump. Professionals check important parts of the system, clean where needed, check operation and look for signs of faults or wear. Proper service can contribute to better operation, longer lifespan and fewer problems over time.

During a service we look at how the heat pump performs in practice. We assess airflow, temperature, sound, cleanliness and general condition. If we find something that should be followed up, we explain it in a simple way and advise you on the way forward.

After a completed service the customer receives a written service report. The report gives a tidy overview of what has been checked, what has been done, and whether anything was found that should be followed up. That makes it easier to stay in control of the heat pump and document the maintenance over time.
