Heat pump servicing for Dunbar homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Dunbar 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.
Landlords in Dunbar can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each. If a heat pump in Dunbar 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.
