Heat pump servicing for Maidenhead homes
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.
Homes in Maidenhead and across Berkshire can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. Service visits in Maidenhead include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
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
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
If a heat pump in Maidenhead has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.
