Before you book: heat pump servicing in Huntly
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Huntly 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 Huntly whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Homes in Huntly and across Aberdeenshire and Moray can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
What's included
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
Service visits in Huntly include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
