At KL Mechanical, we recently returned to Chrome Island to perform annual preventative maintenance on a Fujitsu AIRSTAGE heat pump system we installed a year ago. This routine service is essential for keeping the system operating at peak performance, ensuring long-term efficiency and reliability.
Why Choose a Fujitsu AIRSTAGE Heat Pump?
Fujitsu AIRSTAGE heat pumps are a game-changer for homeowners in the Comox Valley and beyond. These advanced systems provide 100% heating capacity down to -10°C, with some models maintaining full performance down to -20°C—all without relying on electric backup heat. In addition, they offer efficient cooling during the summer months, making them a year-round comfort solution.
For the residents of Chrome Island, switching to a heat pump was a major upgrade. Previously, homes relied on oil furnaces, requiring fuel to be transported by barrel on boats to the island. Not only was this costly and inconvenient, but it also came with environmental concerns. By installing high-efficiency heat pumps, these homeowners have reduced their reliance on fossil fuels while improving comfort and efficiency.
Why Annual Maintenance Matters
Like any mechanical system, heat pumps require regular upkeep to function optimally. Annual maintenance is recommended by the manufacturer to keep your warranty valid and ensure the system works as intended. This service includes:
- Cleaning filters and coils to improve airflow and efficiency
- Inspecting electrical connections for safety and reliability
- Checking refrigerant levels to ensure peak performance
- Testing system functions to catch any potential issues early
Skipping maintenance can lead to reduced efficiency, higher energy costs, and potential system failures—especially during extreme weather when you need heating or cooling the most.
