Heat pump servicing for Nairn homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Nairn the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.
Heat pumps in Nairn that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Landlords in Nairn 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 a year or more past installation
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
What's included
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
If a heat pump in Nairn has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.
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 a Nairn home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Heat pump servicing in Nairn: questions
How much does a visit cost in Nairn?
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.
Will the engineer need access indoors as well as outside?
Usually yes. The outdoor unit, the hot water cylinder, the controls and the pipework and valves indoors are all part of the visit, so allow access to each.
Do you also cover Forres?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Forres, which is about 10 miles east of Nairn, and across the Highlands and Islands.
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.
What does a heat pump service not include?
A service covers inspection, cleaning, testing and adjustment. It does not include replacement parts, major repairs, system flushing or radiator changes, which are quoted separately if needed. If the engineer finds a fault, they explain what it is, what it would cost to fix and whether it needs doing now or can wait.
