Before you book: heat pump servicing in Bourne

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.

Service visits in Bourne include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself. If a heat pump in Bourne has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.

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
  • Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
  • Landlords who need dated service records for each property

What's included

  • Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
  • Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
  • Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
  • Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
  • Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed

We service heat pumps in Bourne whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.

Heat pump servicing in Bourne: questions

How often should a heat pump in Bourne 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.

What should I check before booking a visit in Bourne?

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.

Can you work on a heat pump in Bourne that someone else installed?

Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bourne, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.

How often should a heat pump be serviced?

Once a year is the usual recommendation for air source heat pumps, and many manufacturers require it as a warranty condition. An annual visit cleans filters and strainers, checks pressures and controls, and tests the unvented cylinder's safety devices. If you notice a drop in performance, unusual noises or repeated error codes between services, arrange a visit sooner.

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.
