Before you book: heat pump servicing in Ashington
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Ashington. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Heat pumps in Ashington that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Service visits in Ashington 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.

Heat pump servicing in Ashington: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Ashington that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Ashington, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Bedlington?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Bedlington, which is about 3 miles south of Ashington, and across Northumberland.
How often should a heat pump in Ashington 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 does a heat pump service not include?
A service covers inspection, cleaning, testing and adjustment. It does not include replacement parts, major repairs, system flushing or radiator changes, which are quoted separately if needed. If the engineer finds a fault, they explain what it is, what it would cost to fix and whether it needs doing now or can wait.
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.
