Before you book: heat pump servicing in Heathfield
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Heathfield 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.
Homes in Heathfield and across East Sussex can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. If a heat pump in Heathfield has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.

Heat pump servicing in Heathfield: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Heathfield that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Heathfield, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
What should I check before booking a visit in Heathfield?
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.
How often should a heat pump in Heathfield 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.
