Heat pump servicing for Bishopston 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.
If a heat pump in Bishopston has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. Homes in Bishopston and across Bristol 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.
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
What's included
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
Service visits in Bishopston include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
