Heat Pump Servicing
To get the most out of your heat pump, it is important to service it on a regular basis. While cleaning your heat pump filters every few weeks is a simple and effective way to keep it working well, over time, the coils on the indoor and outdoor units can become clogged. This can significantly reduce the heat pump's efficiency and may even cause it to stop working altogether. A full heat pump service should be done every year to ensure it is running at its most efficient.
The Benefits of Heat Pump Cleaning
Improved Energy Efficiency
Our expert technicians use advanced cleaning techniques to remove dirt and debris. This enhances airflow and allows your heat pump to operate more efficiently.
Enhanced Indoor Air Quality
A clean heat pump helps you to breathe cleaner air by eliminating pollutants like dust and allergens that accumulate within the system.
Extended Lifespan
Regular cleaning reduces strain on the heat pump's components, which prevents premature wear and tear and prolongs the life of your unit to maximise your investment.
Cost Savings
A clean and well-maintained heat pump operates more efficiently, resulting in lower energy bills and significant long-term savings for you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the most common reason for a heat pump to stop working?
Clogged coils are one of the most common reasons a heat pump struggles to produce enough heat. A full service from Heat Force can remove any material clogging the coils, ensuring your system runs at full capacity.
Why is it important to service my heat pump regularly?
Like any mechanical device, it's best to be proactive and maintain your heat pump rather than wait for a major and expensive breakdown. A small refrigerant gas leak, for example, might not cause a problem for months but will be detected and addressed during a full service.
Why should I get my heat pump professionally cleaned?
Don't let a dirty heat pump compromise your indoor comfort and drain your wallet with high energy bills. Professional cleaning from Heat Force can enhance your system's energy efficiency, extend its lifespan, and improve the air quality in your home. Our technicians use advanced techniques and equipment to thoroughly remove debris from coils, filters, and other critical components.
What does a professional heat pump cleaning service involve?
When cleaning your heat pump, we follow a thorough and meticulous process, focusing on removing debris from crucial components such as coils and filters. This restores your heat pump's performance to its optimal level, ensuring efficient operation and improved air quality.
Do you need to get your heat pump serviced to ensure the warranty is applied?
No - you will not invalidate your warranty if you do not get your heat pump serviced regularly. However, regular servicing will help ensure your heat pump is performing at its best and costing the least to run. Regular servicing also means any potential warranty issues are picked up early and can be sorted out while the heat pump is still under warranty.
