Heat pump servicing for Stirling homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Stirling. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
If a heat pump in Stirling has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. Service visits in Stirling include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
Heat pumps in Stirling 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 Stirling home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

How long is the heating season in Stirling?
On the shortest day Stirling gets only about 6 hours 55 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 10° up at noon. Long Scottish winters mean the heat pump runs for much of the year, so careful sizing, good controls and correctly sized radiators make a real difference.

Heat pump servicing in Stirling: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Stirling?
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 Bridge of Allan?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Bridge of Allan, which is about 2 miles north of Stirling, and across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire.
Can you work on a heat pump in Stirling that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Stirling, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
