Heat pump servicing for Pitlochry homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Pitlochry the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.
Heat pumps in Pitlochry that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Service visits in Pitlochry 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 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
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- 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
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
Landlords in Pitlochry can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
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 a Pitlochry home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Heat pump servicing in Pitlochry: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Pitlochry that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Pitlochry, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How much does a visit cost in Pitlochry?
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 Aberfeldy?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Aberfeldy, which is about 8 miles south-west of Pitlochry, and across Perth and Kinross.
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.
