Heat pump servicing for Lymington homes

Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Lymington. 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 pumps in Lymington that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. We service heat pumps in Lymington whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.

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
  • Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing

What's included

  • Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
  • Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
  • Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
  • Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
  • Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain

Service visits in Lymington include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.

On the shortest day Lymington gets about 7 hours 57 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 16° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.

Heat pump servicing in Lymington: questions

Can you work on a heat pump in Lymington that someone else installed?

Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Lymington, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.

Do you also cover New Milton?

Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in New Milton, which is about 5 miles west of Lymington, and across Hampshire.

How much does a visit cost in Lymington?

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.

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.

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.
