Heat pump servicing in Wishaw: what to expect
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.
Landlords in Wishaw can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each. We service heat pumps in Wishaw 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
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
What's included
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- 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
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
Homes in Wishaw and across Lanarkshire 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 a Wishaw home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Heat pump servicing in Wishaw: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Wishaw?
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.
Do you also cover Motherwell?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Motherwell, which is about 3 miles north-west of Wishaw, and across Lanarkshire.
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.
Is servicing needed to keep my warranty valid?
Often, yes. Many manufacturer warranties require an annual service with a dated record, and some extended warranties require an approved installer. Manufacturer warranties pass to you, and the length depends on the make and model. Check your warranty documents, and keep every service record safe with your MCS certificate and handover pack.
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.
