Thinking about a heat pump service? You're not alone.
With the UK moving away from gas heating, more and more households are switching to cleaner heat – and that means making sure your heat pump gets the care it needs to run well, last long, and keep your home warm.
Whether you’ve had a heat pump for a few years or you’re brand new to the world of low-carbon heating, here’s everything you need to know about servicing your system.
Why heat pump servicing matters
Heat pumps are brilliant at delivering consistent, efficient warmth to your home. But like any heating system, they need a bit of love to keep doing their job properly.
Here’s why a regular heat pump service is worth it:
• Keep your system running efficiently
Dust, debris and blocked filters can make your system work harder than it needs to. A clean, serviced heat pump keeps your energy bills down and your home warm.
• Spot problems before they get worse
A service can catch small issues (like low refrigerant or a faulty sensor) before they turn into big, expensive breakdowns.
• Help your heat pump last longer
With a yearly service, your heat pump could last up to 20 years - saving you money in the long run.
• Keep your warranty valid
Most manufacturers need proof of regular servicing to honour the warranty. Skipping a service could leave you footing the bill for future repairs.
What’s included in a heat pump service?
A proper heat pump service checks all the things that keep your system safe, clean, and working as it should. That usually includes:
• Checking refrigerant levels
• Cleaning or replacing filters
• Inspecting coils and pipework
• Testing electrical connections
• Checking fans, pumps, valves and flow rate
• Making sure the system starts, runs and stops correctly
• Flagging up any wear and tear that could cause problems down the line
