What to know about heat pump servicing in Lincoln
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Lincoln 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 Lincoln that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Service visits in Lincoln include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
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
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
