Before you book: heat pump servicing in Bo'ness
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.
Landlords in Bo'ness can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each. Heat pumps in Bo'ness that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.
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
- 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
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
We service heat pumps in Bo'ness whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.

Heat pump servicing in Bo'ness: questions
Do you also cover Grangemouth?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Grangemouth, which is about 4 miles west of Bo'ness, and across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire.
How often should a heat pump in Bo'ness 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 work on a heat pump in Bo'ness that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bo'ness, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
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.
