Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Wimborne Minster. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.

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

Grants and rules for heat pumps in England

Heat pump servicing in Wimborne Minster: questions
Do you also cover Ferndown?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Ferndown, which is about 4 miles north-east of Wimborne Minster, and across Dorset.
How much does a visit cost in Wimborne Minster?
The rate for a service or fault-finding visit is agreed before anyone attends. Any repair is priced in writing before parts are ordered, so you decide before work goes ahead.
What should I check before booking a visit in Wimborne Minster?
Note any error code on the controller, check the system pressure gauge if you have one, and make sure the outdoor unit is clear of leaves or snow. Photos of the unit and controller help.
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.
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Once a year is the usual recommendation for air source heat pumps, and many manufacturers require it as a warranty condition. An annual visit cleans filters and strainers, checks pressures and controls, and tests the unvented cylinder's safety devices. If you notice a drop in performance, unusual noises or repeated error codes between services, arrange a visit sooner.
