Heat pump servicing for Larbert homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Larbert 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.
Homes in Larbert and across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. If a heat pump in Larbert 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.
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
Landlords in Larbert can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
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 Larbert home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Designing for Larbert's winters

Heat pump servicing in Larbert: questions
Do you also cover Falkirk?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Falkirk, which is about 2 miles south-east of Larbert, and across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire.
What should I check before booking a visit in Larbert?
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.
Will the engineer need access indoors as well as outside?
Usually yes. The outdoor unit, the hot water cylinder, the controls and the pipework and valves indoors are all part of the visit, so allow access to each.
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.
How much does a heat pump service cost?
An annual heat pump service has a guide price of £120–£250, including VAT. Where your price sits depends on the type of system, whether it is a split system needing refrigerant checks and whether an unvented cylinder is included. Any parts or repairs found during the service are explained and priced before any work goes ahead.
