Heat your home, not your power bill

Smart tips for comfort, efficiency, and lower power bills

A heat pump is one of the most efficient ways to stay warm in winter and cool in summer—but with a few simple habits, you can make it work even better for you. Here’s how to keep your home cosy and your energy use in check.

1. Clean Your Filters Regularly

Dusty filters make your heat pump work harder than it needs to. A quick clean every few weeks helps your system run smoothly and keeps your air fresher. Not sure how? [We’ve got a simple guide here] or give us a call for help.

Step 2 – Open the front panel

Gently lift or release the front cover of your indoor unit to access the filters. You should see mesh panels sitting just behind the front cover.

Step 3 – Remove the filters

Slide the filters out carefully. Most will simply lift out—no tools needed.

Step 4 – Wash with warm water

Rinse the filters under lukewarm running water. If they’re very dusty, you can use a soft brush or cloth. Avoid hot water, scrubbing, or harsh cleaners.

Step 5 – Dry the filters

Pat the filters dry with a clean towel and leave them to air-dry completely. Never put them back in wet.

Step 6 – Reinstall and close

Once dry, slide the filters back into place, close the front panel, and you’re done.

Michael did all the wiring on our new build property in which he also installed a ducted heat pump system. He is very tidy and diligent in his work. Great workmanship, great work ethic.

We have used Michael for the past 10 years for our electrical needs, from smaller jobs like adding double plugs and moving lights to full electrical wiring for our home extension as well as installing all our heat pumps. We have always been impressed with his communication, punctuation and keen eye for detail. We also like how he keeps everything clean and tidy as he works. We could not recommend him enough
