Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Eccles. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.

Heat pump servicing in Eccles: questions
How much does a visit cost in Eccles?
The rate for a service or fault-finding visit is agreed before anyone attends. Any repair is priced in writing before parts are ordered, so you decide before work goes ahead.
Can you work on a heat pump in Eccles that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Eccles, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
What should I check before booking a visit in Eccles?
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.
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.
