Wall-mounted air conditioner and heat pump cleaning

Clean the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner, scrub the unit with warm, soapy water, then dry it with a soft, clean cloth.

During normal operation, the filter included in the unit should be cleaned every two weeks of use. If dust builds up on the filter, the airflow is considerably reduced, which lowers the unit’s efficiency and increases its noise and energy consumption.

The dust must be removed either with a vacuum cleaner or by washing in a solution of mild detergent and lukewarm water. If you wash the filter, let it dry completely before putting it back in your unit.

If your unit has a plasma filter, an indicator light will tell you when it needs cleaning. To clean it, soak it in warm, soapy water. Plasma filters last 6 to 8 years.

To keep your unit in good condition, cleaning the outside is essential.

Simply wipe the unit with a damp or dry cloth and, with a garden hose, make sure the outdoor coil is free of debris and pollen.

Finally, the whole system requires special care. A maintenance contract may be necessary for specific maintenance that requires the services of a professional.
