Before you book: heat pump servicing in Coulsdon
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.
If a heat pump in Coulsdon has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. Heat pumps in Coulsdon 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 installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
What's included
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
Landlords in Coulsdon can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
