Heat pump servicing...
Maintaining your heat pump’s optimal performance and extending its lifespan is key to keeping your indoor environment comfortable and healthy.
The Importance of Regular Servicing
While a heat pump is a reliable and low-maintenance heating system, regular servicing is crucial to ensure it operates efficiently and provides reliable warmth for years to come. Think of it as a health check for your home's heating system; a small investment that protects a much larger one.
Regular maintenance helps:
-
Maintain Peak Performance: An annual service ensures your heat pump is operating at its highest efficiency, helping to keep your energy bills as low as possible.
-
Extend Its Lifespan: A well-cared-for heat pump can last for over 20 years, far exceeding the lifespan of an unserviced unit.
-
Prevent Future Problems: Servicing allows an engineer to identify and resolve minor issues before they become major, costly repairs.
-
Keep Your Warranty Valid: Many manufacturers require regular servicing by a qualified professional to uphold your product warranty.
What’s Included in a Heat Pump Service?
The cost of a typical service covers the labour and expertise required to perform a thorough inspection of your unit. A certified engineer will carry out a series of checks, including:
-
Visual & Diagnostic Checks: Inspecting the unit both inside and out for any signs of wear, leaks, or damage.
-
Performance & Temperature Checks: Testing the system's performance and measuring temperatures to ensure it is heating effectively.
-
Electrical Safety Test: Checking all electrical connections and circuits for safety and proper function.
-
Pressure Testing: Ensuring the pressure within the system’s pipework is at the correct level.
-
Component Inspection: For air source heat pumps, the engineer will clean the evaporator and inspect the fan blades. For ground source systems, key internal components will be checked for efficiency.
