Heat pump servicing in Montrose: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Montrose. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Homes in Montrose and across Angus and Dundee can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. Heat pumps in Montrose that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.
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 a year or more past installation
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
Service visits in Montrose include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
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 Montrose home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Heat pump servicing in Montrose: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Montrose that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Montrose, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Brechin?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Brechin, which is about 7 miles west of Montrose, and across Angus and Dundee.
What should I check before booking a visit in Montrose?
Note any error code on the controller, check the system pressure gauge if you have one, and make sure the outdoor unit is clear of leaves or snow. Photos of the unit and controller help.
Can you service a split system?
Yes. Split systems have refrigerant pipes running between the outdoor unit and an indoor unit, and checks on that refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer. We arrange the service so a suitably certified engineer attends. The water side, controls and cylinder are checked in the same visit, just as on a monobloc system.
Do I need to do anything between services?
A little. Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear of leaves, snow, plants and stored items so air flows freely. Check the system pressure gauge occasionally if you have one, and note any error codes. Avoid covering the unit or building an enclosure around it without advice, as this can reduce performance.
