How to Maintain Your Heating and Cooling System | The Heat Pump People

Maintaining your heating and cooling system is important to keep it functioning, ensure your system can be relied upon when you need it most and to ensure you aren’t allowing dust and allergens into your home. While it’s best to have a trained skilled technician to maintain your system, you can do some things yourself to keep it maintained.

Any major repairs should be done by a professional to avoid loss of warranty on your product if something goes wrong. All types of heaters require some kind of maintenance from time to time. Here’s our guide on how to look after your system.

Ducted systems should have filters checked and cleaned regularly, along with the condition of the ductwork checked during routine operational and servicing checks.

If you have ducted heating, you will be able to remove your filters and wash them with warm water from time to time as recommended. This removes any dust that can accumulate on them and block the air flow from getting into your space.

Air filters easily lose their effectiveness if not changed when needed. When dust accumulates, they will no longer be able to filter out debris and allergens. This can cause problems to the system, including reduced operation.

When you are doing any types of repair or maintenance on your heat pump or air conditioning system, always turn off your power supply. If you are in doubt, let the professionals regularly maintain your system for you.
