Heat pump servicing in Aviemore: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Aviemore. 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 Aviemore that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Landlords in Aviemore can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
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
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
What's included
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
Homes in Aviemore and across the Highlands and Islands can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For an Aviemore home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Short winter days in Aviemore and what they mean
On the shortest day Aviemore gets only about 6 hours 40 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 9° up at noon. Long Scottish winters mean the heat pump runs for much of the year, so careful sizing, good controls and correctly sized radiators make a real difference.

Heat pump servicing in Aviemore: questions
Do you also cover Inverness?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Inverness, which is about 25 miles north-west of Aviemore, and across the Highlands and Islands.
Can you work on a heat pump in Aviemore that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Aviemore, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How often should a heat pump in Aviemore be serviced?
Once a year is the usual recommendation, and many manufacturers make annual servicing a condition of the warranty. Check your warranty terms for the exact requirement.
How much does a heat pump service cost?
An annual heat pump service has a guide price of £120–£250, including VAT. Where your price sits depends on the type of system, whether it is a split system needing refrigerant checks and whether an unvented cylinder is included. Any parts or repairs found during the service are explained and priced before any work goes ahead.
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.
