What to know about heat pump servicing in Bishop's Stortford
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.

An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
