Heat pump servicing in Bishopbriggs: what to expect
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.
Heat pumps in Bishopbriggs that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Service visits in Bishopbriggs 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.
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- 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
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
If a heat pump in Bishopbriggs has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.

Heat pump servicing in Bishopbriggs: questions
Do you also cover Glasgow?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Glasgow, which is about 3 miles south-west of Bishopbriggs, and across Glasgow and Dunbartonshire.
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.
Can you work on a heat pump in Bishopbriggs that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bishopbriggs, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Can you service a split system?
Yes. Split systems have refrigerant pipes running between the outdoor unit and an indoor unit, and checks on that refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer. We arrange the service so a suitably certified engineer attends. The water side, controls and cylinder are checked in the same visit, just as on a monobloc system.
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.
