Comparing Maintenance Strategies: From Traditional Services to Megawave’s Innovation
Mills Heating & Air has built a solid reputation over 40+ years. Their NATE-certified technicians handle installation, repairs, and reactive maintenance with precision. You schedule a session when something breaks, and they get you back online fast. It’s reliable. It’s straightforward.
But here’s the catch: reactive repairs only kick in after performance dips. Refrigerant leaks, frozen coils or electrical faults can slip under the radar until they hit crisis point. That means:
- Unplanned downtime
- Higher emergency call-out costs
- Potential damage to surrounding equipment
Megawave changes the script. Our focus is preventative. We spot wear-and-tear early. We lubricate bearings, clean coils, tighten connections and fine-tune controls on a set schedule. This proactive routine reduces the risk of breakdowns and keeps efficiency where it belongs—at its peak. Unlike many commercial heat pump installation providers, we blend eco-friendly tech with a structured service plan that qualifies for government grants.
Key Components of Megawave’s Preventative Maintenance Plans
Our maintenance plans cover every critical system element. Here’s what you get:
- On-Site System Audit
We inspect your current setup, note refrigerant levels and assess energy usage. - Refrigerant Integrity Check
Leak detection, pressure tests and top-ups with R290 to maintain optimal performance. - Coil Cleaning & Airflow Assessment

How Preventative Maintenance Cuts Energy Bills
Think of your heat pump as a car. Skip the oil change and tyre check, and fuel efficiency plummets. The same goes for heat pumps. When coils clog or refrigerant balance shifts, your unit works harder. That means:
- Higher electricity consumption
- Shorter compressor life
- Spikes in your energy bills
A well-maintained system runs at peak COP (Coefficient of Performance). You’ll notice:
- Up to 20% lower running costs
- Stable temperature control
- Reduced wear on key components
Plus, you’ll slash carbon emissions—vital if you’re meeting sustainability targets. Midway through our maintenance cycle, you’ll see consistent performance data. And if you ever need a fresh start? Explore our commercial heat pump installation services
