Heat pump servicing for Thornbury homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Thornbury. 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 Thornbury has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. Service visits in Thornbury 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 a year or more past installation
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before

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.
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.
