Before you book: heat pump servicing in Brechin
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.
Heat pumps in Brechin that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Landlords in Brechin 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
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
What's included
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
Homes in Brechin and across Angus and Dundee can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.

Heat pump servicing in Brechin: questions
How much does a visit cost in Brechin?
The rate for a service or fault-finding visit is agreed before anyone attends. Any repair is priced in writing before parts are ordered, so you decide before work goes ahead.
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.
Can you work on a heat pump in Brechin that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Brechin, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How much does a heat pump service cost?
An annual heat pump service has a guide price of £120–£250, including VAT. Where your price sits depends on the type of system, whether it is a split system needing refrigerant checks and whether an unvented cylinder is included. Any parts or repairs found during the service are explained and priced before any work goes ahead.
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Once a year is the usual recommendation for air source heat pumps, and many manufacturers require it as a warranty condition. An annual visit cleans filters and strainers, checks pressures and controls, and tests the unvented cylinder's safety devices. If you notice a drop in performance, unusual noises or repeated error codes between services, arrange a visit sooner.
