Heat Pump Cleaning in Halifax & HRM
Your heat pump runs almost all year in Nova Scotia. Over time, dust, pet hair, pollen and moisture build up inside it. That buildup blocks airflow, raises your power bill, and can grow mould that blows straight into your home.
Breath Assured deep-cleans mini-split (ductless) and ducted heat pumps across Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford and the rest of the HRM. We take the unit apart, clean it properly, and check that it’s working before we leave.
$159.99 for the first head · $89.99 for each additional head

What’s Included in a Mini-Split Cleaning
- Filters: removed, washed and dried
- Indoor coil: cleaned to remove dust, dirt and mould
- Blower wheel: cleaned, so the unit moves air like it should
- Drain pan & drain line: cleared to help prevent leaks, clogs and musty smells
- Outdoor unit: rinsed to clear dirt and debris from the coil
- System check: we confirm heating and cooling work before we leave
Ducted Heat Pump Cleaning
A ducted (central) heat pump moves all of your home’s air through one indoor air handler. We clean the indoor coil and blower, flush the drain, check the filter, rinse the outdoor unit and make sure everything runs properly. Because the air travels through your ductwork, many customers add duct cleaning on the same visit. More about ducted heat pump cleaning.
Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Cleaning
- Weaker airflow, or rooms that don’t heat or cool evenly
- A musty or sour smell when the unit turns on
- Dark spots or dust on the vanes or the front of the unit
- Water dripping from the indoor head
- A higher power bill with no change in how you use it
- More dust, sneezing or allergy symptoms at home
- It’s been more than a year since its last professional cleaning

Why Get Your Heat Pump Professionally Cleaned?
Better airflow
A clean coil and blower wheel move more air, so your rooms heat and cool evenly.
Lower energy bills
A dirty heat pump works harder to reach the same temperature. Cleaning brings that efficiency back.
Cleaner indoor air
Removing dust, allergens and mould means cleaner air for your family and pets.
Longer system life
Less strain on the fan and compressor helps your heat pump last longer.
Fewer breakdowns
We spot leaks, worn parts and drainage problems early, before they turn into repairs.
Protects your warranty
Most manufacturers expect regular maintenance. Cleaning helps keep your system in good standing.

Heat Pump Cleaning FAQs
How much does heat pump cleaning cost in Halifax?
Mini-split heat pump cleaning is $159.99 for the first indoor head and $89.99 for each additional head on the same visit. Ducted systems are priced after we see the system, and we give you the price before any work starts.
How often should a heat pump be cleaned in Nova Scotia?
Once a year for most homes. Homes with pets, allergies, smokers, or a head near the kitchen may need cleaning more often. Between cleanings, rinse your filters every month or two.
Can’t I just clean the filters myself?
Rinsing the filters helps, and you should keep doing it. But most of the dirt and mould builds up deeper inside, on the coil and blower wheel, which you can’t reach without taking the unit apart.
Do you clean the outdoor unit too?
Yes. We rinse the outdoor coil and clear debris as part of the visit.
What if you find a problem?
We’ll explain what we found and give you options before any repair work. Repairs are handled by our Red Seal certified HVAC technician.
Do you clean ducted heat pumps?
Yes. We clean both mini-split (ductless) and ducted heat pumps. See ducted heat pump cleaning for details.
