Overview
Heat pump maintenance in Burnaby suites and houses
In a Burnaby high-rise, the ductless heat pump head on your wall pulls in kitchen grease, dust and pet hair every day of the year. That material coats the coil and the long blower wheel inside, where moisture from cooling turns it into a slick that smells musty and slows airflow. Proper heat pump maintenance in Burnaby condos focuses on that indoor head as much as the outdoor unit.
We bag the head with a cleaning shroud, rinse the coil and blower wheel with a coil-safe cleaner, flush the condensate line and check the drain pump if your suite has one. Then we test the system: refrigerant temperatures, electrical connections and how well it heats and cools. Detached homes get the same attention on their central coils, filters and outdoor units.
Problems regular maintenance prevents
These are the issues we find most often in Burnaby heat pumps that have gone without service.
Water dripping down the wall
A clogged drain line or failed condensate pump can soak drywall and the unit below you.
Weak, noisy airflow
Caked blower wheels throw the fan off balance and cut the air the head can move.
Higher hydro bills
A dirty coil makes the compressor work harder for the same comfort, month after month.
Struggling in heat waves
Glass-walled suites push systems hard, and dirty equipment gives up first when it is hottest.
Balcony unit grime
Outdoor units on balconies collect dust and debris that block airflow through the coil.
Local service
Maintaining heat pumps across Burnaby
Our technicians service ductless systems in towers around Metrotown, Brentwood and Edmonds, and in the townhomes and low-rises of Lochdale and Burnaby Heights. UniverCity suites on Burnaby Mountain see more cloud and damp, so drain lines and coils there benefit from regular attention.
We also look after central heat pumps in detached homes in Capitol Hill, Deer Lake and the South Slope, where leaves and garden debris tend to collect around outdoor units.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
How often should a Burnaby condo heat pump head be deep cleaned?
It depends on use. Heads near kitchens or in homes with pets often need a deep clean every year, while bedroom heads may go two years. We look inside during each visit and tell you honestly whether a deep clean is needed yet.
Can you service the outdoor unit on my balcony?
Yes. We bring compact tools and protect your balcony while we rinse the coil and check the fan and electrical parts. If the unit is on a roof or a restricted area, we coordinate access with your building manager.
Why does my suite's head smell when it starts?
Usually it is mould and bacteria growing on the damp coil and blower wheel. Filter cleaning alone will not fix it. A proper coil and wheel cleaning removes the source.
Will cleaning stop water dripping from the wall unit?
If the drip comes from a clogged drain line or dirty drain pan, yes. If the head is out of level or the drain pump has failed, we will find that during the visit and quote the repair.
