Heat pump servicing for Auchterarder homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Auchterarder. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Service visits in Auchterarder include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself. Heat pumps in Auchterarder that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.
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 installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
What's included
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
If a heat pump in Auchterarder has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For an Auchterarder home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Heat pump servicing in Auchterarder: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Auchterarder that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Auchterarder, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Will the engineer need access indoors as well as outside?
Usually yes. The outdoor unit, the hot water cylinder, the controls and the pipework and valves indoors are all part of the visit, so allow access to each.
Do you also cover Crieff?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Crieff, which is about 7 miles north-west of Auchterarder, and across Perth and Kinross.
How much does a heat pump service cost?
An annual heat pump service has a guide price of £120–£250, including VAT. Where your price sits depends on the type of system, whether it is a split system needing refrigerant checks and whether an unvented cylinder is included. Any parts or repairs found during the service are explained and priced before any work goes ahead.
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.
