What to know about heat pump servicing in Cupar
A heat pump that is serviced and set up properly keeps running efficiently for many years. Many heat pump faults trace back to settings, low pressure or a worn part rather than the heat pump itself, and those can usually be put right.
Homes in Cupar and across Fife can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. We service heat pumps in Cupar 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 a year or more past installation
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
What's included
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
If a heat pump in Cupar has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.

Heat pump servicing in Cupar: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Cupar that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Cupar, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
What should I check before booking a visit in Cupar?
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 Leven?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Leven, which is about 8 miles south of Cupar, and across Fife.
Do I need to do anything between services?
A little. Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear of leaves, snow, plants and stored items so air flows freely. Check the system pressure gauge occasionally if you have one, and note any error codes. Avoid covering the unit or building an enclosure around it without advice, as this can reduce performance.
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.
