What to know about heat pump servicing in Wigston Magna
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Wigston Magna 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.
Landlords in Wigston Magna can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each. We service heat pumps in Wigston Magna 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.
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing

Heat pump servicing in Wigston Magna: questions
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 Oadby?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Oadby, which is about 2 miles north of Wigston Magna, and across Leicestershire.
Can you work on a heat pump in Wigston Magna that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Wigston Magna, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
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.
