Heat pump servicing for Banchory homes
A heat pump that is serviced and set up properly keeps running efficiently for many years. Many heat pump faults trace back to settings, low pressure or a worn part rather than the heat pump itself, and those can usually be put right.
Homes in Banchory and across Aberdeenshire and Moray can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. Service visits in Banchory include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
What's included
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
Landlords in Banchory can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For a Banchory home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.
