Heat pump servicing for Blairgowrie homes
A heat pump that is serviced and set up properly keeps running efficiently for many years. Many heat pump faults trace back to settings, low pressure or a worn part rather than the heat pump itself, and those can usually be put right.
Heat pumps in Blairgowrie that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Homes in Blairgowrie and across Perth and Kinross can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.
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 a year or more past installation
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
What's included
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files

Landlords in Blairgowrie can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.

Heat pump servicing in Blairgowrie: questions
Do you also cover Perth?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Perth, which is about 14 miles south of Blairgowrie, and across Perth and Kinross.
What should I check before booking a visit in Blairgowrie?
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.
How much does a visit cost in Blairgowrie?
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.
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Once a year is the usual recommendation for air source heat pumps, and many manufacturers require it as a warranty condition. An annual visit cleans filters and strainers, checks pressures and controls, and tests the unvented cylinder's safety devices. If you notice a drop in performance, unusual noises or repeated error codes between services, arrange a visit sooner.
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.
