Heat Pump Maintenance Services

For Commercial Air Conditioning systems, more frequent maintenance is needed. These systems typically operate daily & are exposed to different environmental factors like dust and dirt, which means a full service is recommended every 3 to 6 months depending on usage & conditions.

At PERL Electrical, we also advise cleaning your filters every three months. This is something homeowners can do themselves, but if you`d prefer, one of our technicians can carry out a full professional heat pump service for you.

A comprehensive Heat Pump Service from PERL Electrical includes:

• Clean & disinfecting the indoor unit to prevent bacteria build up on the coil and throughout the unit
• Application of anti-microbial tablet treatment in condensate drip tray to inhibit bacterial growth within the indoor unit
• Clean the indoor unit’s filters, vanes and outer covers
• Check the condensate drain, flushing with disinfectant and unblock if required
• Check electrical terminals and components for signs of soot
