Air source heat pump maintenance: How to ensure the device's efficient operation
Air source heat pump maintenance is an essential part of the device's life cycle. Regular maintenance keeps the device functional and energy efficient throughout its entire service life. In this blog post, we will go over which air source heat pump maintenance tasks you can do yourself and which ones should be left to a professional.
Do-it-yourself air source heat pump maintenance
Air source heat pump maintenance involves several steps that you can do yourself. These include cleaning the air source heat pump's coarse filter, keeping the outdoor unit clean, checking the condensation water in the air source heat pump in cooling mode, and testing the air source heat pump's cooling and heating functions in spring and autumn.
Air source heat pump maintenance by a professional
Although you can do some of the maintenance of your air source heat pump yourself, there are some tasks that should be left to a professional. These include cleaning the air source heat pump fins and possible repairs if the device is not working properly or is broken. Hesatek Oy's Fresh Wash maintenance service offers professional help with these tasks. Fresh Wash maintenance is a quick and effective way to keep your air source heat pump clean and functional.

Air source heat pump maintenance and energy efficiency
Air source heat pump maintenance is directly related to the energy efficiency of the device. For example, regular cleaning of the coarse filter affects the device's performance. If the filter is dirty, the device's performance decreases, which weakens its cost-effectiveness and reduces the savings brought by the pump. Fresh Wash maintenance wash thoroughly cleans the device, which improves its efficiency.
Air source heat pump maintenance and device lifespan
Regular maintenance of the air source heat pump extends the life of the device. Maintenance also includes cleaning the internal parts of the device, which is important, as fine dust and grease gradually accumulate inside the device. These dirt deposits prevent the air source heat pump from achieving maximum energy savings, which is why professional cleaning maintenance, such as Fresh Wash , is recommended every 2–4 years.
Air source heat pump maintenance and household deduction
Did you know that you can use the household deduction for air source heat pump maintenance? The cost of a maintenance wash is largely made up of the labor part, for which it is possible to receive a household deduction. Fresh Wash maintenance wash is a cost-effective way to maintain an air source heat pump, and its costs are largely deductible for tax purposes.
Summary
Air source heat pump maintenance is an important part of the device's maintenance. Maintenance ensures the efficient operation of the device and extends its service life. Some maintenance measures can be done yourself, but in some cases it is recommended to turn to a professional, such as Hesatek Oy's Fresh Wash maintenance service. Remember that most of the costs related to air source heat pump maintenance are tax deductible.
