Heat pump servicing in Stewarton: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Stewarton. 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 Stewarton and across Ayrshire can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. We service heat pumps in Stewarton whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.
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
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
Heat pumps in Stewarton that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.
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 Stewarton home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Heat pump servicing in Stewarton: questions
How often should a heat pump in Stewarton be serviced?
Once a year is the usual recommendation, and many manufacturers make annual servicing a condition of the warranty. Check your warranty terms for the exact requirement.
Do you also cover Kilmarnock?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Kilmarnock, which is about 5 miles south of Stewarton, and across Ayrshire.
Can you work on a heat pump in Stewarton that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Stewarton, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
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.
