Heat pump servicing for Abingdon homes

Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Abingdon. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.

If a heat pump in Abingdon has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. Landlords in Abingdon can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.

An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.

  • Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
  • Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
  • Landlords who need dated service records for each property

What's included

  • A dated service record for your warranty and property files
  • Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
  • Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
  • Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
  • Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain

Homes in Abingdon and across Oxfordshire can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.

Abingdon has about 7 hours 48 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 40 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.

Heat pump servicing in Abingdon: questions

How often should a heat pump in Abingdon 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.

How much does a visit cost in Abingdon?

The rate for a service or fault-finding visit is agreed before anyone attends. Any repair is priced in writing before parts are ordered, so you decide before work goes ahead.

Do you also cover Didcot?

Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Didcot, which is about 5 miles south of Abingdon, and across Oxfordshire.

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.

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.
