Basements in Penobscot County are notorious for high humidity, which can be a major problem for heat pumps. At Moran Heat Pump Cleaning, we specialize in maintaining basement units to ensure they don’t become a source of mold and mildew in your home.

The Humidity-Mold Connection

When a heat pump operates in a damp basement, the moisture from the air condenses on the cold evaporator coils. This creates a perfect breeding ground for mold and bacteria. If not cleaned regularly, these contaminants can be circulated throughout your entire home every time the unit runs.

Protecting Your Basement Unit

• Dehumidification: Using a standalone dehumidifier in your basement can help reduce the load on your heat pump.
• Bi-Annual Cleaning: For basement units, we often recommend a cleaning every 6-12 months to stay ahead of mold growth.

Don’t let your basement heat pump compromise your air quality. Contact Moran Heat Pump Cleaning for a professional deep clean in Maine.
