Before you book: heat pump servicing in Perth
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.
If a heat pump in Perth has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. Homes in Perth 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.
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
What's included
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
We service heat pumps in Perth whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Perth can apply to Home Energy Scotland for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500.
