What to know about heat pump servicing in North Berwick
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in North Berwick. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
We service heat pumps in North Berwick whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Homes in North Berwick 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
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
What's included
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
Heat pumps in North Berwick that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For a North Berwick home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Heat pump servicing in North Berwick: questions
How much does a visit cost in North Berwick?
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 North Berwick?
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.
Do you also cover Haddington?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Haddington, which is about 7 miles south of North Berwick, and across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
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.
What does a heat pump service not include?
A service covers inspection, cleaning, testing and adjustment. It does not include replacement parts, major repairs, system flushing or radiator changes, which are quoted separately if needed. If the engineer finds a fault, they explain what it is, what it would cost to fix and whether it needs doing now or can wait.
