What to know about heat pump servicing in Linlithgow
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Linlithgow 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.
We service heat pumps in Linlithgow whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Homes in Linlithgow and across Edinburgh and the Lothians can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.
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 a year or more past installation
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement

What's included
