Service Your Heat Pump to Help Save Money and Lives

​At first glance the title might seem excessive. You’re thinking, “I might save some money, but will servicing my heat pump really save lives?” Allow Heat Pumps NOW to explain. 
Heat Pumps NOW proudly service and install heat pumps across Christchurch

​How Heat Pumps Work

​Heat pumps are air transfer systems. Whether you’re heating or air conditioning, heat pumps are moving air from inside your house outside or vice versa. Floating in the outside air are dust particles, pollen, bacteria, microscopic insects and other bits and pieces we’d rather not breathe in. That’s why heat pumps filter the air to help you breathe easier inside. All that dust, dirt and pollen has to go somewhere, and unless your heat pump is serviced it stays clogged in your machine. 

​Serviced Heat Pumps Are More Efficient

The next time you’re vacuuming your house, take the cleaning head off and put your fingers over top of the top of the tube. Sure, the vacuum cleaner still works, but it’s not sucking in as much air as it could be.

Your heat pump is the same. All the pollen, dirt and dust trapped inside your heat pump is acting like a hand over the neck of your vacuum cleaner. It’s still working, but it’s not heating or cooling your home as efficiently as what it should. Working harder to do the same job means your heat pump is using more electricity, which really adds up over time.
​
Servicing your heat pump once a year can increase its efficiency by up to 40%. You can also give your heat pump a quick clean yourself if you're feeling confident. Being more energy efficient means your heat pump can keep your Christchurch home warmer, for cheaper.

​Serviced Heat Pumps Are Safer

This is what can happen when Christchurch heat pumps go unserviced

​Keep Your Warranty

​The Heat Pumps NOW team are often surprised when we take a look in an outdoor heat pump during a routine service. Sometimes they’re filled with moss and mould, other times dust and dried leaves manage to find their way inside. 

The record number of animals Heat Pumps NOW has found inside a Christchurch outdoor heat pump unit is four little mice. They were wrapped around a live power cable clearly trying to keep warm. It wouldn’t take much for that to turn disastrous!

If Heat Pumps NOW hadn’t picked up that risk during our annual heat pump clean and service, there’s a good chance that outdoor unit could have short-circuited and caught fire!

That's in addition to the internal damage caused by moss, mould, mildew, dead leaves and other foliage could have caused to your outdoor heat pump unit. 

It’s important to take care of your heat pump. Manufacturers recommend getting your heat pump professionally serviced at least once a year. Think of it like a Warrant of Fitness, but for your heat pump. If you don’t have your heat pump serviced and an issue arises, the manufacturer may not honour the warranty. In any case, regular servicing will help your heat pump last longer and be more efficient over time.
