Before you book: heat pump servicing in Stranraer
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Stranraer 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.
Service visits in Stranraer include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself. We service heat pumps in Stranraer whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.
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 installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
What's included
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check

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.
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.
