What to know about heat pump servicing in Dromore
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Dromore. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Service visits in Dromore include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself. Heat pumps in Dromore 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.
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- 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
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
If a heat pump in Dromore has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.

Heat pump servicing in Dromore: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Dromore that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Dromore, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Banbridge?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Banbridge, which is about 7 miles south-west of Dromore, and across County Down.
How often should a heat pump in Dromore 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.
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.
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.
