Routine Maintenance
Like all modern equipment, e-Series heat pumps require routine maintenance to
ensure ecient, safe, and reliable operation. Be sure that a maintenance schedule
is created and adhered to, and that all personnel involved with maintenance are
informed and educated on their role in supporting the system.
Following are suggesting timelines and maintenance items typically associated
with e-Series heat pump water heater installations. It is not possible to foresee all
possible system configurations, accessories, or site conditions, so this list should
be considered advisory only. Final maintenance schedules are the responsibility
of the service/maintenance personnel on the project, and should be adjusted in
accordance with best practices and observed conditions.
Weekly Checks:
Visually inspect heat pump for debris around fans, obstruction of
evaporator fins, wear or damage to unit exterior, or obstructions around
louvers or grilles on ducted systems.
Inspect for ice or water buildup around the heat pump.
Check screens and/or BMS portals for alarms.
Verify system is within normal operating parameters for water
temperatures.
Biannual Checks (Spring and Fall):
Check and clear drain pan and/or any drain traps.
Treat drain pan for algae/mold prevention.
Inspect and clean blower housing as necessary.
Inspect blower and fan attachment screws and tighten as necessary.
Inspect and clean evaporator fins as necessary.
Inspect and clean cabinet interior as necessary.
Inspect and clear any louvers or grilles in attached ducting.
Isolate, inspect, and clean any wye strainers on the heat pump piping.
Inspect all attached piping and ducting for water leaks and/or uncontrolled
condensation.
