In many cases, your heat pump is likely quite dirty, which restricts airflow. After a thorough cleaning of the barrel fan, airflow typically doubles. The barrel fan contains hundreds of small blades, and when dirt and mold build up on the leading edges of these blades, they lose efficiency. Ez Breathe Heat Pump Cleaning specializes in disassembling and cleaning the fan to restore optimal performance.

We recommend cleaning the filters in your heat pump every 1 to 3 months, depending on factors such as usage, the presence of pets, and the amount of dust or debris in your home. Regularly cleaning the filters helps maintain optimal airflow, improves efficiency, and extends the lifespan of your heat pump.

When your heat pump blows cold air, it causes water to form on the internal coil, which drips into a condensate tray and is typically drained outside automatically. However, if the drainpipe becomes clogged with dust, bacteria, mold, or debris from a dirty heat pump, the water can backflow up the drain, causing the tray to overflow and potentially leak down your wall. Ez Breathe Heat Pump Cleaning will thoroughly clean the drainpipe and heat pump to prevent this issue from occurring.

The coil is likely dirty and becoming blocked, especially if it has never been cleaned. This forces the unit to work much harder, often leading you to increase the temperature and fan speed to compensate. Additionally, a buildup of dirt and mold on the fan wheel adds drag to the blower, causing it to strain and use more energy. As a result, energy consumption rises, leading to higher utility bills. An annual cleaning can resolve these issues and restore your system’s efficiency.

A heat pump can smell when turned on due to mold, mildew, or bacteria buildup in the unit, clogged or dirty filters, burnt dust on components, or pests and debris inside the system. Regular maintenance and cleaning can prevent these problems. If odors persist, contact Ez Breathe Heat Pump Cleaning for professional assistance.

Cleaning your dryer vent once a year is generally sufficient for most households. However, cleaning every six months can be beneficial if you do high volumes of laundry, have pets that shed, or notice signs of restricted airflow, such as clothes taking longer to dry or excessive heat buildup. Regular maintenance helps prevent fire hazards, improve efficiency, and extend the life of your dryer. If unsure, a professional inspection by EZ Breathe can determine if more frequent cleaning is needed.
