Heat pump servicing in Crickhowell: what to expect
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Crickhowell 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.
Landlords in Crickhowell can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each. Homes in Crickhowell and across Powys 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 installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
What's included
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
Service visits in Crickhowell include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.

Heat pump servicing in Crickhowell: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Crickhowell?
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.
Do you also cover Abergavenny?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Abergavenny, which is about 6 miles south-east of Crickhowell, and across Powys.
How much does a visit cost in Crickhowell?
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.
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.
