Heat pump servicing in Fraserburgh: what to expect
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Fraserburgh the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.
We service heat pumps in Fraserburgh whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Landlords in Fraserburgh can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
What's included
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
Heat pumps in Fraserburgh that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.

Heat pump servicing in Fraserburgh: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Fraserburgh that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Fraserburgh, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Peterhead?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Peterhead, which is about 15 miles south-east of Fraserburgh, and across Aberdeenshire and Moray.
Will the engineer need access indoors as well as outside?
Usually yes. The outdoor unit, the hot water cylinder, the controls and the pipework and valves indoors are all part of the visit, so allow access to each.
Is servicing needed to keep my warranty valid?
Often, yes. Many manufacturer warranties require an annual service with a dated record, and some extended warranties require an approved installer. Manufacturer warranties pass to you, and the length depends on the make and model. Check your warranty documents, and keep every service record safe with your MCS certificate and handover pack.
What does a heat pump service not include?
A service covers inspection, cleaning, testing and adjustment. It does not include replacement parts, major repairs, system flushing or radiator changes, which are quoted separately if needed. If the engineer finds a fault, they explain what it is, what it would cost to fix and whether it needs doing now or can wait.
