Heat pump deodorising keeps your unit running efficiently and your home smelling fresh. At Heat Pump HQ in Christchurch, we’re experts in removing those unwanted odours that can develop in your heat pump system.
Why Your Heat Pump Needs Deodorising
Your heat pump collects dust, bacteria, and mould over time – especially in Christchurch’s variable climate. These nasties create unpleasant smells and can affect your indoor air quality. Regular deodorising and maintenance not only eliminates odours but also helps maintain your system’s performance.
Our Deodorising Process
We use a thorough cleaning method that includes:
- Deep cleaning of filters and coils
- Sanitising internal components
- Applying professional-grade deodorising agents
- Checking for mould growth
- Testing system performance
