Heat pump servicing in Towcester: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Towcester that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Towcester, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How often should a heat pump in Towcester 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 Towcester?
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.
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.
