Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Paignton the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.

An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
